SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FEATURE ACTIVATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18361465 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FEATURE ACTIVATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for an electronic device that presents indications to a user based on sensor data and detects the context in which it is operating to selectively activate or deactivate indication features.
- The electronic device presents indications to the user based on sensor data.
- The device detects the context in which it is operating.
- It selectively activates and deactivates indication features based on the context.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various fields such as:
- Wearable technology
- Smart home devices
- Automotive industry
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Providing relevant information to users based on their surroundings
- Avoiding unnecessary distractions by deactivating certain indications in specific contexts
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced user experience
- Improved efficiency by tailoring indications to the current context
- Increased user engagement with the device
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology could be seen in:
- Smartwatches
- Home automation systems
- Car infotainment systems
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of context-aware applications that adapt their behavior based on the user's environment.
What are the specific sensor data used to determine the context in which the device is operating?
The specific sensor data used to determine the context in which the device is operating could include location data, ambient light sensors, motion sensors, and temperature sensors.
How does the device prioritize which indication features to activate or deactivate based on the detected context?
The device prioritizes which indication features to activate or deactivate based on the detected context by analyzing predefined rules or user preferences. It may also consider the relevance and urgency of the indications in the current context.
Original Abstract Submitted
In some embodiments, an electronic device presents indications to a user in accordance with sensor data. The sensor data is optionally obtained by one or more sensors of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device detects a context in which the electronic device is operating. In some embodiments, the electronic device selectively activates and deactivates indication features in accordance with the context in which the electronic device is operating. For example, in certain contexts, the electronic device forgoes presenting indications that would be presented in other contexts.
