ACCESSIBILITY DETERMINATION DEVICE, ACCESSIBILITY DETERMINATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029473 titled 'ACCESSIBILITY DETERMINATION DEVICE, ACCESSIBILITY DETERMINATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an accessibility determination device that uses an imaging device to capture images of the user's surrounding environment at regular intervals. These captured images are then analyzed by a facial organ detector to detect the presence of a specific person's facial organ. If the accessibility determined by the processor meets a predetermined criterion and the target detector detects the predetermined target person, a notification is sent to the user. The accessibility or the predetermined criterion can be adjusted based on the distance between the imaging device and the person.
- The device captures images of the user's surroundings at regular intervals.
- The captured images are analyzed to detect a specific person's facial organ.
- If the predetermined criterion is met and the target person is detected, a notification is sent to the user.
- The accessibility or the predetermined criterion can be adjusted based on the distance between the device and the person.
Potential Applications:
- Assisting visually impaired individuals in identifying specific people in their surroundings.
- Enhancing accessibility for individuals with cognitive impairments by providing notifications about the presence of familiar individuals.
Problems Solved:
- Difficulty for visually impaired individuals in recognizing and identifying specific people.
- Challenges faced by individuals with cognitive impairments in remembering and recognizing familiar individuals.
Benefits:
- Improved independence and safety for visually impaired individuals.
- Enhanced social interactions and recognition for individuals with cognitive impairments.
Original Abstract Submitted
an accessibility determination device may include an imaging device that captures images of a surrounding environment of a user at time intervals to acquire a plurality of captured images; a facial organ detector that analyzes the captured images to detect a facial organ of a person that makes a notification to the user when the accessibility determined by processor satisfies a predetermined criterion and the target detector detects that the person is the predetermined target person. the processor may change the accessibility or the predetermined criterion depending on a distance between the imaging device and the person.
