INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103891 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION

Simplified Explanation

The information processing apparatus described in the patent application is designed to detect a specific noncontact state established by a user for an operation surface and provide an explanation of the operation method or function of an object displayed on the operation surface if the specific contact state is detected.

  • The processor in the apparatus is configured to detect a specific noncontact state set by the user for an operation surface.
  • If the specific contact state is detected, the apparatus presents an explanation of the operation method used for the operation surface or a function of an object displayed on the operation surface.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in interactive displays, touchscreens, and other user interfaces where users interact with objects or surfaces without physical contact.

Problems Solved

This technology helps users understand the operation method or function of objects displayed on a surface without the need for physical contact, improving user experience and usability.

Benefits

- Enhanced user interaction with operation surfaces - Improved understanding of operation methods and functions - Increased user engagement and satisfaction

Potential Commercial Applications

- Interactive kiosks - Educational displays - Retail displays

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be interactive touchscreens that provide explanations or tutorials when specific gestures are detected.

What are the specific noncontact states that can be detected by the processor in the apparatus?

The specific noncontact states that can be detected include gestures, proximity, or other user-defined actions that indicate a user's intention to interact with the operation surface.

How does the apparatus determine the appropriate explanation to present based on the detected noncontact state?

The apparatus uses predefined algorithms or user preferences to determine the appropriate explanation to present, based on the specific noncontact state detected and the context of the operation surface or displayed object.


Original Abstract Submitted

an information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: detect a specific noncontact state established by a user for an operation surface; and present, if the specific contact state is detected, an explanation of an operation method used for the operation surface or a function of an object displayed on the operation surface.
