COGNITIVE FUNCTION ESTIMATION DEVICE, COGNITIVE FUNCTION ESTIMATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18379326 titled 'COGNITIVE FUNCTION ESTIMATION DEVICE, COGNITIVE FUNCTION ESTIMATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a cognitive function estimation device that can estimate the cognitive function of a subject based on their state information. The device includes two state information acquisition means and a cognitive function estimation means.

  • The first state information acquisition means acquires first state information that represents the initial state of the subject's cognitive function.
  • The second state information acquisition means acquires second state information that represents a later state of the subject's cognitive function, with a longer interval of state change compared to the first state.
  • The cognitive function estimation means estimates the cognitive function of the subject based on the first and second state information.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical diagnosis: The device can be used to estimate the cognitive function of patients, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of cognitive disorders.
  • Cognitive training: The device can be used to track changes in cognitive function over time, allowing for personalized cognitive training programs.
  • Human-computer interaction: The device can be integrated into computer systems to adapt the user interface based on their cognitive function, improving usability.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Difficulty in accurately estimating cognitive function: The device provides a more comprehensive estimation by considering both the initial and later states of the subject's cognitive function.
  • Long intervals of state change: The second state information acquisition means captures the subject's cognitive function in a state with longer intervals of change, providing a more stable representation.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved diagnosis and treatment: The device provides a more accurate estimation of cognitive function, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of cognitive disorders.
  • Personalized cognitive training: The device allows for personalized cognitive training programs based on the individual's cognitive function.
  • Enhanced user experience: Integration of the device into computer systems can adapt the user interface based on the user's cognitive function, improving usability and user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

A cognitive function estimation device X mainly includes a first state information acquisition means X, a second state information acquisition means X, and a cognitive function estimation means X. The first state information acquisition means X is configured to acquire first state information representing a first state of a subject regarding a cognitive function of the subject. The second state information acquisition means X is configured to acquire second state information representing a second state of the subject whose interval of state change is longer than the first state. The cognitive function estimation means X is configured to estimate the cognitive function of the subject based on the first state information and the second state information.
