OPERATION CONTROL DEVICE, OPERATION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND OPERATION CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18285730 titled 'OPERATION CONTROL DEVICE, OPERATION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND OPERATION CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an operation control device that can detect whether a user is touching a display region or a knob on a touch display based on line-of-sight information and decide the operation target accordingly.
- Processing circuitry acquires line-of-sight information from a detection device.
- The device detects if the user is physically touching the display region or a knob on the touch display.
- An operation target is decided based on the touch state and stored information.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Interactive displays
- Control panels for machinery
- Gaming consoles
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Improving user interaction with touch displays
- Enhancing control precision in operation devices
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Increased efficiency in operation control
- Enhanced user experience with touch displays
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be used in:
- Industrial control systems
- Automotive infotainment systems
- Medical equipment interfaces
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be touch-sensitive devices that detect user input on touch displays based on touch gestures and movements.
What are the potential safety implications of this technology?
This technology could potentially enhance safety in operation control devices by ensuring that the user's touch input is accurately detected and the operation target is selected correctly.
How does this technology compare to traditional operation control methods?
This technology offers a more intuitive and precise way for users to interact with operation control devices compared to traditional methods, such as physical buttons or switches.
Original Abstract Submitted
An operation control device includes processing circuitry configured to acquire, from a line-of-sight detection device, line-of-sight information indicating a line-of-sight of an operator on a touch display; detect a first touch state that indicates a physical touch by the operator on a display region of the touch display or a second touch state that indicates a physical touch by the operator on a knob for operation disposed in the display region; and decide an operation target by touch depending on the detected first or second touch state with reference to information, stored in advance, in which the first and second touch states and the operation target are associated with each other in a case where the first or second touch state is detected in a state in which the line-of-sight of the operator indicated in the acquired line-of-sight information is not directed toward the touch display.
