COOLDOWN ALERT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17947383 titled 'COOLDOWN ALERT SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a cooldown system for a device that detects when a session has ended, activates a cooldown timer, provides an indication of the remaining time, and returns the device to normal operation once the timer elapses.

  • The cooldown system includes at least one processor and memory.
  • The memory stores instructions for the cooldown system.
  • The processor executes the instructions to perform cooldown functions.
  • The system detects the end of a session and activates a cooldown timer.

Original Abstract Submitted

A cooldown system for a device includes at least one processor and a memory coupled to the at least one processor. The memory is configured to store instructions. The at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to cause the cooldown system to detect when a session has ended, activate a cooldown timer to measure a cooldown time, provide an indication of a remaining time of the cooldown timer, and in response to the cooldown timer elapsing, return the device to normal operation.
