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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240176411 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an electronic device that corrects the reference direction of VR images to focus on a specific subject present in the image.

  • The electronic device includes a processor and memory storing a program.
  • The program, when executed, obtains a series of VR images and corrects the reference direction of each image to highlight a specific subject.
  • This technology aims to improve the viewing experience of VR content by ensuring the subject of interest is prominently featured in the image.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various industries such as:

  • Virtual reality gaming
  • Virtual tours and real estate showcasing
  • Training simulations for medical or military purposes

Problems Solved

  • Ensures that the main subject of a VR image is properly highlighted
  • Enhances the user experience by providing a more focused and engaging viewing experience

Benefits

  • Improved clarity and focus in VR images
  • Enhanced user engagement and immersion in virtual environments
  • Increased efficiency in training simulations and educational content

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing VR images for specific subjects can be beneficial for:

  • VR content creators and developers
  • Virtual reality hardware manufacturers
  • Training and simulation companies

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be image editing software that allows for the manipulation of VR images to enhance specific elements within the image.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle VR images with multiple subjects of interest?

The abstract does not specify how the device prioritizes or corrects the reference direction when there are multiple subjects in the VR image.

What is the impact of this technology on file size and processing power requirements?

It is not clear from the abstract how this correction process affects the size of the VR images or the computational resources needed to execute the program.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device includes a processor; and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device to: obtain a plurality of vr images that are sequentially captured; and generate, from each of the plurality of vr images, a vr image in which a reference direction of the vr image is corrected to a direction in which a specific subject is present in the vr image.
