USER TERMINAL APPARATUS AND MANAGEMENT METHOD OF HOME NETWORK THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18100379 titled 'USER TERMINAL APPARATUS AND MANAGEMENT METHOD OF HOME NETWORK THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a user terminal apparatus that is connected to a home network and includes communication circuitry, a display, a sensor, and processing circuitry. The apparatus allows users to manage their home network through a user interface (UI) screen displayed on the device. The UI screen can be changed based on user manipulations, and it consists of multiple service pages that offer different home network management services. Some of these service pages have areas that can be displayed based on user manipulations in a specific direction.
- The user terminal apparatus is connected to a home network and allows users to manage it.
- The apparatus has communication circuitry, a display, a sensor, and processing circuitry.
- The display shows a UI screen for managing the home network.
- Users can manipulate the UI screen, and it can change based on these manipulations.
- The UI screen consists of multiple service pages that provide different home network management services.
- Some service pages have areas that can be displayed based on user manipulations in a specific direction.
Potential Applications
- Home automation: Users can manage and control various devices in their home network through the user terminal apparatus.
- Security systems: The apparatus can provide access to security cameras, alarms, and other security-related devices in the home network.
- Entertainment systems: Users can control audio/video devices, streaming services, and other entertainment-related devices through the apparatus.
Problems Solved
- Simplified home network management: The user terminal apparatus provides a convenient and intuitive way for users to manage their home network and connected devices.
