TERMINAL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18481233 titled 'TERMINAL APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The terminal apparatus described in the patent application includes a transparent panel for displaying images and accepting drawings, a display superimposed on the panel, an imager for capturing user images, and a controller for communication. The controller can receive information from another terminal apparatus, such as a model image representing another user and a drawn image by the other user, and display them on the terminal apparatus.
- Communication interface for data exchange
- Transparent panel for displaying images and accepting drawings
- Imager for capturing user images
- Controller for communication and processing data from other terminal apparatus
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in virtual meetings, online collaboration tools, and interactive gaming platforms.
Problems Solved
This technology allows for a more interactive and engaging user experience in virtual environments, enhancing communication and collaboration.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved user engagement, enhanced communication, and increased interactivity in virtual settings.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of virtual reality meeting platforms for remote teams.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar technologies used in virtual reality applications, online gaming platforms, and interactive display systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does the controller process and display the information received from another terminal apparatus?
The controller likely uses algorithms to interpret the data received and then displays the model image and drawn image on the terminal apparatus accordingly.
What security measures are in place to protect the data exchanged between terminal apparatuses?
It is unclear from the abstract what specific security measures are implemented to safeguard the communication and data exchange between terminal apparatuses.
Original Abstract Submitted
A terminal apparatus includes a communication interface, a transparent panel configured to display an image and accept a drawing, a display superimposed on the transparent panel, an imager disposed near the display and configured to capture an image of a user, and a controller configured to communicate using the communication interface. The controller is configured to receive, from another terminal apparatus, information for displaying a model image representing another user who uses the other terminal apparatus based on a captured image of the other user, and information on a drawn image drawn by the other user using a drawing tool on a transparent panel of the other terminal apparatus, and to display the model image on the display of the terminal apparatus and a hand image of a hand of the other user holding the drawing tool and the drawn image on the transparent panel of the terminal apparatus.
