AEROSOL REACHABLE AREA ESTIMATION SYSTEM, AEROSOL REACHABLE AREA ESTIMATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18539415 titled 'AEROSOL REACHABLE AREA ESTIMATION SYSTEM, AEROSOL REACHABLE AREA ESTIMATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an aerosol reachable area estimation system that uses a detector to detect a voice and a controller to estimate the area reachable by aerosol released by the utterer of the voice. This estimation is based on the correlation between the speech sound emitted by the utterer and the velocity vector of the aerosol released from the utterer's mouth.
- Detector to detect a voice
- Controller to estimate reachable area by aerosol released by the utterer
- Correlation between speech sound and velocity vector of aerosol
- Position and direction of the utterer's mouth used in estimation
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in various industries such as:
- Environmental monitoring
- Public health and safety
- Industrial hygiene
Problems Solved
The system addresses the following issues:
- Estimating the spread of aerosols in a given space
- Understanding the potential reach of aerosols released by an individual
- Improving risk assessment in aerosol-related scenarios
Benefits
The technology offers the following benefits:
- Enhanced control over aerosol dispersion
- Improved safety measures in aerosol-releasing activities
- Accurate estimation of reachable areas by aerosols
Potential Commercial Applications
The system could be applied in:
- Healthcare facilities
- Research laboratories
- Manufacturing plants
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of voice detection technology in various applications, but the specific correlation between speech sound and aerosol reach estimation may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system differentiate between different types of aerosols released by the utterer?
The patent application does not specify how the system distinguishes between various types of aerosols, which could be crucial in different scenarios.
What are the limitations of the system in estimating the reachable area accurately?
The patent application does not mention any potential limitations or challenges that the system may face in providing precise estimations of aerosol reachable areas.
Original Abstract Submitted
An aerosol reachable area estimation system includes a detector that detects a voice and a controller that estimates an area reachable by aerosol released to a space where an utterer who has emitted the voice detected by the detector exists from a speech sound included in the voice on a basis of a correlation between the speech sound and a velocity vector of aerosol released from the utterer when the utterer utters the speech sound and a position and a direction of the utterer's mouth.
