WORK ESTIMATION DEVICE, WORK ESTIMATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18210948 Titled 'WORK ESTIMATION DEVICE, WORK ESTIMATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a device that estimates the work being done by a user. It includes a unit that estimates the region the user is watching, a unit that detects the work object and target candidate objects from a video, a unit that calculates the degree of contact between the work object and each target candidate object based on the user's line of sight, and a unit that estimates the user's work based on the work object and contact degree.


Original Abstract Submitted

A work estimation device () includes a watching region estimation unit (), an object detection unit (), a contact degree calculation unit (), and a work estimation unit (). The watching region estimation unit () estimates a watching region which is a region a user watches, with using information indicating a line of sight of the user. The object detection unit () detects, from a video that shows a work object the user is using and at least one target candidate object which is a candidate for a work target of the user, the work object and the at least one target candidate object. The contact degree calculation unit () calculates a contact degree indicating a degree of contact between the work object and each target candidate object which is included in the at least one target candidate object, on a basis of the watching region. The work estimation unit () estimates work of the user on a basis of the work object and the contact degree.
