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 18623378 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 detecting a person adjacent to the user and providing a warning based on the distance between the user and the adjacent person.
- The processor functions as an acquisition unit to acquire the result obtained by detecting the adjacent person.
- The warning unit is configured to provide a warning to at least the adjacent person based on the distance between a virtual boundary line representing the user's moving range and the adjacent person.
Potential Applications: - Personal safety devices - Social distancing enforcement tools - Navigation aids for visually impaired individuals
Problems Solved: - Addressing personal space boundaries in crowded environments - Enhancing safety and awareness in public spaces
Benefits: - Improved personal safety - Increased awareness of surroundings - Enhanced communication in social interactions
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Personal Safety Wearables" This technology could be utilized in the development of smart wearable devices for personal safety, targeted towards individuals in crowded or public spaces. The market implications include increased demand for innovative safety solutions in various industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the wearable apparatus detect the presence of an adjacent person? - The wearable apparatus uses sensors to detect the presence of an adjacent person based on proximity. 2. What types of warnings can the warning unit provide to the adjacent person? - The warning unit can provide alerts, notifications, or visual cues to alert the adjacent person about the user's moving range.
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.
