ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17838352 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic apparatus that includes a display unit, a determining unit, an acquiring unit, a referring unit, and a control unit.

  • The determining unit identifies the target object that the user is paying attention to.
  • The acquiring unit collects various types of information about the target object.
  • The referring unit accesses reference information associated with the target object.
  • The control unit uses the reference information and the collected information to determine relevant information.
  • The display unit shows the determined information and image data stored in memory.
  • The reference information consists of past information about each type of collected information.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Personalized advertising: The apparatus can determine a user's interests and display relevant advertisements.
  • Enhanced user experience: By providing relevant information about the target object, the apparatus can enhance the user's understanding and interaction with it.
  • Educational tools: The apparatus can provide additional information and references about objects being studied or observed.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Information overload: The apparatus filters and presents only the most relevant information to the user, reducing the burden of processing excessive data.
  • Lack of context: By referring to past information, the apparatus can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the target object.
  • User engagement: By displaying relevant information, the apparatus increases user engagement and interaction with the target object.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Personalization: The apparatus tailors the displayed information based on the user's interests and the target object.
  • Efficiency: By automatically determining and displaying relevant information, the apparatus saves the user's time and effort in searching for information.
  • Enhanced understanding: The apparatus provides additional context and references, improving the user's understanding and knowledge about the target object.
