ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18205650 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a touch panel that can detect swipe operations to conduct tag setting processes for specific words displayed on the screen.

  • The electronic device includes a display, a touch panel, and a controller.
  • The controller determines if a swipe operation is within a predetermined area of the touch panel while an entry word is displayed.
  • If the swipe operation is within the predetermined area, the controller accepts it as a tag setting process for the associated word.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in mobile devices, tablets, and other touchscreen devices to streamline the process of setting tags for specific words or entries.

Problems Solved

This technology simplifies the process of setting tags for specific words or entries on a touchscreen device, making it more efficient and user-friendly.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved user experience, faster tag setting processes, and increased productivity when organizing information on electronic devices.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include mobile applications, productivity tools, educational software, and any other software that involves organizing and tagging information.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing touchscreen devices with swipe functionality for various operations, although the specific implementation for conducting tag setting processes may be novel.

What are the specific technical requirements for implementing this technology in different types of electronic devices?

To implement this technology in different electronic devices, manufacturers would need to ensure compatibility with various operating systems, screen sizes, and touch panel technologies. They would also need to optimize the controller software for accurate detection of swipe operations within the predetermined area.

How does this technology compare to existing methods of setting tags or organizing information on electronic devices?

This technology offers a more intuitive and efficient way of setting tags for specific words or entries compared to traditional methods that may involve multiple steps or interactions. It simplifies the process and enhances user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a display, a touch panel for detecting a user operation, and a controller. The controller determines, in response to detecting a swipe operation while an entry word is displayed on the display, whether or not a detected location of the swipe operation is within a predetermined area of the touch panel. If the detected location is determined to be within the predetermined area, the controller accepts the swipe operation as an operation for conducting a tag setting process for a tag associated with the entry word.
