System And Method For Representing Busyness Using Content Specific To A Place - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17772805 titled 'System And Method For Representing Busyness Using Content Specific To A Place
Simplified Explanation
Abstract: A system is disclosed for representing the level of busyness in a public place using content specific to that place. This content, such as images, video, or audio, is correlated with real-time busyness information and stored based on various factors to optimize storage and transmission resources. When a user requests information about the public place, representative content is provided to accurately portray the look, sound, and feel of the place at a given time.
Patent/Innovation Explanation:
- The patent application describes a system that uses content captured at a public place to represent its level of busyness.
- Various types of content, such as images, video, or audio, are collected and correlated with real-time busyness information.
- The system selects representative content based on factors like minimizing storage and transmission resources.
- When a user requests information about the public place, the system provides the selected representative content to give an accurate portrayal of the place at a specific time.
Potential Applications:
- Real-time crowd monitoring in public places like shopping malls, airports, or stadiums.
- Providing accurate visual and auditory information to users planning to visit a public place.
- Enhancing virtual reality experiences by simulating the busyness of a public place.
Problems Solved:
- Difficulty in accurately representing the busyness of a public place to users.
- Inefficient use of storage and transmission resources when capturing and providing content.
- Lack of real-time information about the look, sound, and feel of a public place.
Benefits of this Technology:
- Users can make informed decisions about visiting a public place based on its current busyness level.
- Optimized storage and transmission resources result in efficient content capture and delivery.
- Accurate portrayal of a public place enhances user experiences and planning.
Original Abstract Submitted
A level of busyness of a public place may be represented using content specific to the public place. Images, video, audio, or other content captured at the public place is correlated with busyness information for the public place at the time of capture. Representative content is selected and stored based on a number of factors such as to minimize resources in storing and transmitting the content. The selected representative content may be provided in response to a user request for information related to the public place, such that the user receives an accurate portrayal of how the public place would look, sound, and/or feel at a given time.
