ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240331698 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR
The abstract describes an electronic device that can detect a user's gaze on a virtual object displayed on another wearable electronic device and determine the user's intention to utter a voice command based on various analyses.
- The electronic device includes a communication circuit, memory storing computer programs, and processors.
- Computer-executable instructions cause the device to receive information about the user's gaze, face analysis, gesture analysis, and speech intention.
- The device executes a voice recognition application when it detects the intention to utter a voice command.
Potential Applications: - Hands-free voice command systems - Augmented reality applications - Assistive technologies for individuals with limited mobility
Problems Solved: - Enhances user experience by enabling hands-free interaction with devices - Improves accessibility for individuals with physical disabilities
Benefits: - Increased convenience and efficiency in interacting with electronic devices - Enhanced user experience for a wide range of applications - Improved accessibility for individuals with disabilities
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Hands-Free Interaction Technology for Electronic Devices" This technology can be utilized in smart glasses, virtual reality headsets, and other wearable devices for various industries such as gaming, healthcare, and automotive.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve user experience compared to traditional input methods? - This technology allows users to interact with devices hands-free, providing convenience and efficiency in various applications. 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with analyzing user gaze, face, and gestures? - Privacy concerns may arise regarding the collection and analysis of personal data, requiring robust security measures to protect user information.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device is provided. the electronic device includes a communication circuit, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the communication circuit and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic to receive, from an external electronic device, information indicating detection of user's gaze on a specified virtual object displayed on a display of the external electronic device wearable on at least part of a user's body through the communication circuit, receive information from analysis of the user's gaze, receive, from the external electronic device, first information from analysis of the user's face, second information from analysis of a user's gesture, or third information from analysis of whether the user started utterance, corresponding to the point in time at which the user's gaze has been detected, determine a user's intention to utter a voice command based on whether at least one of the first information, the second information, or the third information, and the information from analysis of the user's gaze satisfy a specified condition, execute a voice recognition application stored in the memory upon determining that there is the intention to utter and control the voice recognition application to be in a state of being capable of receiving a voice command of the user.
