WEARABLE DEVICE WITH CAMERA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806876 titled 'WEARABLE DEVICE WITH CAMERA

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for a wearable device to capture and store multiple images periodically. The images are stored in a buffer and the least valuable image is periodically erased. The wearable device can receive a request to view the stored images and output them in response.

  • The wearable device captures and stores multiple images periodically.
  • The images are stored in a buffer within the wearable device.
  • The least valuable image is periodically erased from the buffer.
  • The wearable device can receive a request to view the stored images.
  • In response to the request, the wearable device outputs the stored images.

Potential Applications

  • Wearable devices with built-in cameras, such as smartwatches or smart glasses, can utilize this method to capture and store images.
  • This technology can be used in various industries, including healthcare, security, and sports, where capturing and reviewing images is important.

Problems Solved

  • This method solves the problem of limited storage capacity in wearable devices by periodically erasing the least valuable image, ensuring that there is always space for new images.
  • It also addresses the need for a convenient way to view and access the stored images on the wearable device.

Benefits

  • The method allows for continuous image capture without worrying about running out of storage space.
  • Users can easily view and access the stored images on their wearable device, providing convenience and quick access to captured moments.
  • The periodic erasing of the least valuable image ensures that the buffer always has space for new images, optimizing storage efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method can include, based on a context of a wearable device, periodically capturing and storing, by the wearable device, multiple images, the multiple images being stored in a buffer included in the wearable device, periodically erasing a least-valuable image, from among the multiple images, from the buffer, receiving a request to view the multiple images stored in the buffer, and in response to the request to view the multiple images stored in the buffer, outputting the multiple images stored in the buffer.
