WEARABLE DEVICE FOR RECOGNIZING TOUCH INPUT BY EXTERNAL OBJECT AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240329794 titled 'WEARABLE DEVICE FOR RECOGNIZING TOUCH INPUT BY EXTERNAL OBJECT AND METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a wearable device that can capture an image using a camera while displaying a screen. The device can identify a visual object corresponding to an external object in the image and display a pointer on the screen at a location corresponding to the external object. The device can recognize touch inputs on a surface based on movement and provide feedback accordingly.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Wearable device with camera for image capture
- Identification of visual objects corresponding to external objects
- Display of pointers on screen based on identified objects
- Recognition of touch inputs on surfaces
- Feedback provision based on touch inputs
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in augmented reality applications, navigation systems, and interactive displays.
Problems Solved: This technology allows for more intuitive interaction with digital content based on real-world objects.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user experience
- Improved accuracy in object recognition
- Seamless integration of digital and physical environments
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include AR gaming, interactive advertising, and educational tools.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on wearable devices, augmented reality, and computer vision technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Research on advancements in computer vision, object recognition algorithms, and wearable technology could be relevant to this technology.
Questions about Wearable Device with Object Recognition Technology: 1. How does the wearable device differentiate between various external objects in its surroundings? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with using a wearable device with object recognition capabilities?
Original Abstract Submitted
a wearable device may obtain an image, while a screen is displayed, using a camera. the wearable device may identify a visual object corresponding to an external object from the image. the wearable device may display, at a first location of a portion of the visual object corresponding to a portion of the external object farther than a reference distance from a second surface, a pointer on the screen. the wearable device may recognize the external object contacted on the second surface according to movement from outside the reference distance, as a touch input at a second location identified based on a path of the movement and the first location, and provide feedback with respect to the touch input.
