Devices and Methods for Capturing and Interacting with Enhanced Digital Images - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240126425 titled 'Devices and Methods for Capturing and Interacting with Enhanced Digital Images

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an electronic device that displays a wake screen with a representative image, and when a contact is detected over the wake screen, the device displays a sequence of images in response.

  • The electronic device displays a wake screen with a representative image.
  • The device detects a contact over the wake screen.
  • In response to the contact, the device displays a sequence of images.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Smartphones
  • Tablets
  • Wearable devices

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of quickly accessing information or features on a device by simply touching the wake screen.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced user experience
  • Quick access to information
  • Intuitive interaction with the device

Potential Commercial Applications

The potential commercial applications of this technology could be in:

  • Consumer electronics
  • Mobile devices
  • Wearable technology

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be devices that display different images based on touch interactions, but the specific implementation described in the patent application may be novel.

What is the manufacturing cost of implementing this technology in devices?

Implementing this technology may increase the manufacturing cost of devices due to the additional sensors and software required for touch detection and image display.

How does this technology impact battery life on electronic devices?

This technology may have a slight impact on battery life as it requires additional processing power to detect touch inputs and display images, but the impact is likely minimal for most devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device displays a wake screen that includes a representative image in a sequence of images. while displaying the wake screen, the electronic device detects an input that includes a contact over the wake screen. in response to detecting the contact over the wake screen, the electronic device displays, in sequence, a plurality of images in the sequence of images.
