APPARATUS WEARABLE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO COVER USER'S VIEW, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240337833 titled 'APPARATUS WEARABLE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO COVER USER'S VIEW, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The wearable apparatus described in the patent application includes a processor and memory that store instructions for acquiring a result obtained by detecting a person adjacent to the user, and providing a warning to the adjacent person based on the distance between a virtual boundary line representing the user's moving range and the adjacent person.
- The wearable apparatus functions as an acquisition unit to detect a person near the user.
- It includes a warning unit that alerts the adjacent person based on the distance between them and the user's moving range.
- The technology aims to enhance safety and communication between individuals in close proximity.
- By providing warnings to nearby individuals, the wearable apparatus helps prevent accidents or collisions.
- The virtual boundary line represents the user's personal space and alerts others when they are too close.
Potential Applications: - Personal safety devices - Social distancing tools - Communication aids for individuals with sensory impairments
Problems Solved: - Lack of awareness of personal space boundaries - Difficulty in communicating proximity concerns in crowded environments
Benefits: - Improved safety for users and those around them - Enhanced communication in social interactions - Potential for reducing accidents and conflicts in crowded spaces
Commercial Applications: Title: "Proximity Warning Wearable Technology for Enhanced Safety" This technology could be marketed to industries such as healthcare, construction, and event management for use in crowded or high-risk environments. It could also be adapted for consumer applications in smart wearables for everyday use.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include proximity sensors in wearable devices, communication systems for alerting nearby individuals, and safety devices for personal protection.
Frequently Updated Research: Research on the effectiveness of proximity warning systems in different environments and user groups could provide valuable insights into optimizing this technology for various applications.
Questions about Proximity Warning Wearable Technology: 1. How does the wearable apparatus detect a person adjacent to the user? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with this technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
a wearable apparatus covers a user's view includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to function as an acquisition unit configured to acquire a result obtained by detecting a person adjacent to the user, and a warning unit configured to provide a warning to at least the adjacent person based on a distance between a virtual boundary line representing a moving range of the user wearing the apparatus and the adjacent person.
