ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18095859 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic apparatus that uses a camera, display, memory, and processor to provide coaching feedback to a user based on their gaze direction and posture information.

  • The electronic apparatus includes a camera, display, memory, and processor.
  • The display is controlled to show a coaching image from an external server and a user image from the camera.
  • The gaze direction of the user is identified based on the user image.
  • If the user's gaze direction is not within a threshold range, a feedback image is generated using posture information of objects in the coaching image and user image.
  • The feedback image is stored in the memory and displayed on the screen.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Fitness coaching: The apparatus can provide real-time feedback on posture and gaze direction during exercise routines.
  • Sports training: Athletes can receive coaching feedback on their form and focus during practice sessions.
  • Virtual reality: The technology can enhance virtual reality experiences by providing feedback on user posture and gaze direction.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of real-time feedback: The apparatus provides immediate feedback on posture and gaze direction, helping users correct their form and focus.
  • Personalized coaching: The feedback image is generated based on the user's specific posture and gaze direction, providing tailored coaching.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved performance: Users can make adjustments to their posture and focus in real-time, leading to better results in fitness, sports, and virtual reality activities.
  • Enhanced user experience: The personalized coaching feedback enhances the overall user experience by providing guidance and support.
  • Efficient training: Users can receive coaching without the need for a physical coach, making training more accessible and cost-effective.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic apparatus includes: a camera; a display; a memory; and a processor configured to: control the display to display a coaching image received from an external server and a user image obtained through the camera; identify a gaze direction of a user based on the obtained user image; based on the gaze direction of the user not being in a threshold range, obtain a feedback image including the coaching image and the user image based on posture information of a first object included in the coaching image and posture information of a second object included in the user image, and store the obtained feedback image in the memory; and control the display to display the stored feedback image.
