INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NOTIFICATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148366 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NOTIFICATION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that includes various components to detect and control the states of liquids in multiple tanks. The apparatus also includes a light emission unit that emits light in different patterns based on the state of the liquid in each tank.
- The information processing apparatus has a state detection unit that detects the states of the liquids in the tanks.
- A light emission unit is attached to the external surface of the apparatus and is activated when the tanks are operated.
- The control unit of the apparatus controls the light emission unit based on the detected state of the liquid in one of the tanks.
- The light emission unit emits light in a specific pattern corresponding to the tank that contains the liquid in the predetermined state.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Industrial processes involving multiple liquid tanks where it is important to monitor and control the state of the liquids.
- Chemical manufacturing plants where different liquids need to be accurately identified and monitored.
- Food and beverage production facilities where the quality and state of liquids are critical.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient monitoring and control of multiple liquid tanks.
- Accurate identification of the state of liquids in each tank.
- Simplified visual indication of the liquid state in each tank.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved efficiency and accuracy in managing liquid tanks.
- Enhanced safety by quickly identifying any abnormalities in the liquid state.
- Simplified user interface for monitoring and controlling liquid tanks.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes: a state detection unit configured to detect states of the liquids contained in the plurality of liquid tanks; a light emission unit attached to an external surface of the information processing apparatus with a cover closed, the cover being opened when the plurality of tanks are operated; and a control unit configured to control the light emission unit, based on a fact that the state of the liquid detected by the state detection unit is a predetermined state in one of the plurality of liquid tanks, so that the light emission unit emits light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the liquid tank that contains the liquid in the predetermined state, out of a plurality of light emission patterns corresponding to the plurality of liquid tanks.
