COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240115175 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The communication apparatus described in the patent application is designed to analyze the state of a target person captured in an image and make decisions on how to communicate with them through a first terminal associated with the target person.

  • Processing unit generates state information based on an image of the target person.
  • Judgement unit uses state information to determine information to be transmitted to a first terminal and decides whether to transmit it.
  • Communication unit sends the information to the first terminal.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as:

  • Security and surveillance systems
  • Personalized communication devices

Problems Solved

The technology helps in:

  • Efficient communication with target individuals
  • Personalized messaging based on the state of the target person

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved communication strategies
  • Enhanced user experience
  • Targeted messaging

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology could include:

  • Marketing and advertising industries
  • Security and surveillance companies

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be facial recognition technology used in security systems to identify individuals based on their facial features.

What are the potential privacy concerns related to using this technology?

Privacy concerns may arise regarding the collection and processing of personal data, especially if the technology is used without the consent of the individuals being analyzed. Additionally, there could be concerns about the accuracy of the state information generated by the processing unit.

How can this technology be adapted for use in healthcare settings?

This technology could be adapted for use in healthcare settings by analyzing the state of patients through images or video footage to provide personalized care and support. It could help healthcare professionals in making informed decisions and improving patient outcomes.


Original Abstract Submitted

a communication apparatus includes a processing unit, a judgement unit, and a communication unit. the processing unit generates state information indicating a state of a target person by processing an image in which the target person is captured. the judgement unit performs, by using the state information, at least one of processing of determining first information needed to be transmitted to a first terminal and processing of deciding whether to transmit the first information to the first terminal. the first terminal is associated with the target person, and is operated by a different person from the target person. the communication unit transmits the first information to the first terminal. the communication apparatus can also support decision-making on how to respond to the target person.
