TERMINAL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18481235 titled 'TERMINAL APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The terminal apparatus described in the patent application is capable of displaying a 3D model representing another user based on a captured image and a supplementary image. The supplementary image includes an invisible portion of the captured image, which is then used to supplement the 3D model based on the captured image.
- Communication interface, display, imager, and controller are key components of the terminal apparatus.
- The controller receives information to display a 3D model of another user based on captured and supplementary images.
- The invisible portion of the captured image is supplemented by a 3D model based on the supplementary image.
Potential Applications

Original Abstract Submitted
A terminal apparatus includes a communication interface, a display, an imager configured to capture images of a user, and a controller configured to communicate using the communication interface. The controller is configured to receive information for displaying a 3D model representing another user, who uses another terminal apparatus, based on a captured image of the another user and a supplementary image that includes an invisible portion of the captured image, and control the display to display a 3D model in which the invisible portion in a 3D model based on the captured image is supplemented by a 3D model based on the supplementary image.
