INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240157007 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes an information processing system that includes a terminal used by a user, a detection unit that detects the position of contact by the user and the position in which droplets of saliva of the user are attached, and an identification unit that identifies a sanitization part to be sanitized of the terminal based on the detected positions.

  • The system includes a terminal used by a user.
  • A detection unit is present to detect the position of contact by the user and the position where droplets of saliva are attached.
  • An identification unit identifies the part of the terminal that needs to be sanitized based on the detected positions.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various industries such as healthcare, public facilities, and workplaces to ensure proper sanitization of shared terminals.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of identifying specific parts of a terminal that require sanitization, improving overall hygiene and reducing the spread of germs and bacteria.

Benefits

The system provides a targeted approach to sanitization, saving time and resources by focusing on specific areas that are in contact with users.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include the integration of this technology in touchscreens, kiosks, and other shared terminals in public spaces to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include similar systems used in healthcare settings or laboratories to detect and sanitize specific areas of equipment based on user interaction.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system differentiate between different users interacting with the terminal?

The system may use biometric data or user profiles to distinguish between different users and their interaction patterns.

What is the response time for identifying and sanitizing the designated part of the terminal?

The response time may vary depending on the complexity of the system and the detection capabilities, but it should be optimized for quick and efficient sanitization processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

an information processing system includes: a terminal used by a user; a detection unit that detects at least one of a position of contact by the user and a position in which droplets of saliva of the user are attached, in the terminal; and an identification unit that identifies a sanitization part to be sanitized of the terminal, on the basis of the at least one of the positions. according to such an information processing system, it is possible to properly identify the part to be sanitized in an operation terminal.
