INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18601521 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

The abstract of the patent application describes an information processing apparatus that detects abnormal regions in moving image frames, which are estimated to represent abnormal parts inside a subject's body. The apparatus generates output information based on the number of detected abnormal regions.

• The information processing apparatus detects abnormal regions in moving image frames.
• The abnormal regions are estimated to represent abnormal parts inside a subject's body.
• Output information is generated based on the number of detected abnormal regions.

Potential Applications: - Medical imaging for detecting abnormalities in the body. - Early detection of diseases or conditions. - Monitoring changes in abnormal regions over time.

Problems Solved: - Identifying abnormal regions in medical imaging. - Providing early warning signs for potential health issues. - Improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.

Benefits: - Early detection of abnormalities can lead to timely treatment. - Enhanced monitoring of health conditions. - Improved patient outcomes and quality of care.

Commercial Applications: Title: Medical Imaging Abnormality Detection System This technology can be used in medical imaging devices for healthcare providers to improve diagnostic capabilities and patient care. It can also be integrated into telemedicine platforms for remote monitoring and consultation.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the information processing apparatus differentiate between normal and abnormal regions in the moving image frames? - The apparatus uses algorithms and image analysis techniques to identify patterns or anomalies that indicate abnormalities. 2. What are the potential limitations of using this technology in real-time medical imaging applications? - The speed and accuracy of detection may vary depending on the complexity of the abnormal regions and the quality of the imaging equipment.

Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus () detects an abnormal region () from a moving image frame (). The abnormal region () is a region that is estimated to represent an abnormal part inside a body of a subject. The information processing apparatus () generates and outputs output information based on the number of detected abnormal regions ().
