INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546280 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image forming device that includes a central processing unit (CPU) capable of executing predetermined functions based on user movement operations on an operation part displayed on a display unit. The CPU controls the movement of the operation part within a movable area, including a start area and an execution area, where the predetermined function is executed. The reporting mode related to the movement operation is changed to increase highlighting based on the importance of the function being executed.

  • Central processing unit (CPU) controls movement of operation part based on user input
  • Predetermined functions executed based on movement operation within start and execution areas
  • Reporting mode related to movement operation changes based on importance of function being executed

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various interactive display systems, such as interactive whiteboards, touch screen devices, and digital signage, to enhance user interaction and control.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently executing functions based on user input in a movable area, while also providing visual feedback to the user regarding the importance of the function being executed.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved user experience, increased efficiency in executing functions, and enhanced control over interactive devices.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercially applied in interactive displays for educational institutions, businesses, and public spaces to provide a more engaging and interactive user experience.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be interactive whiteboards or touch screen devices that allow users to interact with displayed content through touch or gestures. However, the specific control over reporting mode based on the importance of the function being executed may be a novel aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does the technology handle multiple users interacting with the device simultaneously?

The patent application does not specify how the device would handle multiple users interacting with the device at the same time. This could be a potential limitation in scenarios where collaborative interaction is required.

What are the security measures in place to prevent unauthorized access to the device's functions?

The patent application does not address the security measures implemented to prevent unauthorized access to the device's functions. This could be a concern in environments where sensitive information is being displayed or accessed.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image forming device includes a central processing unit (CPU). The CPU moves, in a case in which a user performs a movement operation on an operation part displayed on a display unit, the operation part in such a way as to follow the movement operation within a movable area including a start area that does not cause a predetermined function to be executed and an execution area that causes the predetermined function to be executed, executes the predetermined function in a case in which the movement operation is completed after the operation part is moved from the start area into the execution area by the movement operation, and performs control to change a reporting mode related to the movement operation in such a way that a degree of highlighting of the reporting mode related to the movement operation increases according to a position of the operation part as a degree of importance determined by an execution condition for the predetermined function becomes relatively higher during the movement operation on the operation part by the user.
