TERMINAL APPARATUS, METHOD OF OPERATING TERMINAL APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18361908 titled 'TERMINAL APPARATUS, METHOD OF OPERATING TERMINAL APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a terminal apparatus with a touch input/output screen that can display images. The apparatus can communicate with another terminal apparatus that has a different orientation of its input/output area. The controller of the apparatus is configured to transmit an output image to the other terminal apparatus, which contains the input image and fits within a square area of the other terminal's input/output area. The controller can also designate a new input/output area within the apparatus.

  • The terminal apparatus has a touch input/output screen that can display images.
  • It can communicate with another terminal apparatus with a different orientation of its input/output area.
  • The controller can transmit an output image to the other terminal apparatus, containing the input image within a square area of the other terminal's input/output area.
  • The controller can designate a new input/output area within the apparatus.

Potential Applications:

  • Collaborative workspaces where multiple terminal apparatuses can share and display images.
  • Gaming applications where images can be transmitted and displayed on multiple devices.
  • Educational settings where images can be shared and displayed on different terminals.

Problems Solved:

  • Allows for seamless communication and image sharing between terminal apparatuses with different orientations.
  • Provides a flexible and adaptable input/output area for the terminal apparatus.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced collaboration and communication capabilities.
  • Improved user experience with the ability to display and share images across different terminal apparatuses.
  • Increased flexibility and adaptability in the use of the terminal apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

A terminal apparatus includes an input/output screen including a rectangular input/output area configured to accept touch input and display an image, a communication interface configured to communicate with another terminal apparatus including the input/output area having a different longitudinal direction, and a controller configured, upon input of an image to the input/output area of the terminal apparatus, to transmit to the another terminal apparatus an output image that contains the image and corresponds to a first square area having one short side of the input/output area as one side and to cause the another terminal apparatus to display the output image in a second square area having one short side of an input/output area of the another terminal apparatus as one side. The controller is configured to set an area other than the first square area in the input/output area of the terminal apparatus as a new input/output area.
