WEARABLE DEVICE, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM PROVIDING GRAPHIC REGION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240203067 titled 'WEARABLE DEVICE, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM PROVIDING GRAPHIC REGION
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a wearable device that includes a display positioned in front of the user's eyes and a camera facing the same direction as the user's eyes. The device is able to identify specific locations based on a schedule and determine if the camera is facing a region within that location where a graphic region for the schedule is set. The device can then display the graphic region on the camera's view if it is facing the correct direction.
- The wearable device includes a display positioned in front of the user's eyes.
- The device also features a camera with at least one lens facing the same direction as the user's eyes.
- A processor within the device can identify specific locations based on a schedule.
- The processor can determine if the camera is facing a region within a location where a graphic region for the schedule is set.
- If the camera is facing the correct direction, the device can display the graphic region on the camera's view.
Potential Applications:
1. Navigation assistance for users in unfamiliar locations. 2. Augmented reality experiences for users based on their surroundings. 3. Enhanced scheduling and time management tools for users.
Problems Solved:
1. Difficulty in navigating and finding specific locations. 2. Lack of context-aware information display for users. 3. Inefficient scheduling and time management processes.
Benefits:
1. Improved user experience in finding and interacting with specific locations. 2. Enhanced productivity and efficiency in managing schedules and tasks. 3. Seamless integration of augmented reality features into daily activities.
Commercial Applications:
The technology could be utilized in smart glasses for various industries such as tourism, logistics, and field services to provide real-time information and guidance to users.
Questions about Wearable Device Technology:
1. How does the wearable device determine the direction in which the camera is facing? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with using a wearable device with a camera?
Original Abstract Submitted
a wearable device is provided. the wearable device includes a display arranged with respect to eyes of a user wearing the wearable device. the wearable device includes a camera including at least one lens that faces a direction corresponding to a direction in which the eyes faces. the wearable device includes a processor. the processor is configured to identify, in response to a schedule, a place labeled with respect to the schedule. the processor is configured to identify, based at least in part on the identification, whether the camera of the wearable device positioned in the place faces a region in the place to which a graphic region for the schedule is set. the processor is configured to display, via the display, at least portion of the graphic region on at least portion of the region, based on identifying that a direction of the camera corresponds to a first direction in which the camera faces the region. the processor is configured to identify, via the display, information for informing the first direction, based on identifying that the direction corresponds to a second direction different from the first direction.
