INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18551034 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The information processing apparatus described in the patent application estimates the load experienced by a user based on data from a sensor measuring the user's physiological index. The estimation includes determining the workload of the user performing a task and the visual load of the user maintaining alert concentration.
- Estimation of user load based on physiological data from a sensor
- Differentiation between workload and visual load experienced by the user
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various fields such as:
- Healthcare for monitoring patient stress levels
- Fitness tracking for optimizing workout intensity
- Productivity tools for assessing mental workload during tasks
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the following issues:
- Difficulty in objectively measuring user load in real-time
- Lack of personalized feedback on user stress levels
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved user performance by adjusting workload accordingly
- Enhanced user experience through personalized load estimation
- Better understanding of user behavior and stress levels
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized in commercial settings such as:
- Wearable technology for fitness and health monitoring
- Employee productivity tools for workload management
- Virtual reality systems for optimizing user experience
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing systems that monitor physiological data for health and fitness tracking purposes. However, the specific differentiation between workload and visual load estimation may be a novel aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus differentiate between workload and visual load based on physiological data?
The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific algorithms or methods used for this differentiation.
What types of sensors are compatible with the estimation part of the apparatus?
The patent application does not specify the types of sensors that can be used to measure the user's physiological index for load estimation.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is an information processing apparatus including an estimation part configured to estimate a load experienced by a user, on the basis of data from a sensor measuring a physiological index of the user, the estimation part estimating, as the load, at least one of a workload experienced by the user carrying out a predetermined task and a visual load experienced by the user making alert concentration.
