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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240206700 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

The abstract describes an information processing apparatus that detects abnormal regions in a moving image frame, 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.
• These abnormal regions are estimated to represent abnormal parts within 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 a subject's health over time.

Problems Solved: - Identifying abnormalities that may not be easily visible to the naked eye. - Providing a non-invasive method for detecting health issues. - Improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.

Benefits: - Early detection of health problems can lead to timely treatment. - Non-invasive nature of the technology reduces patient discomfort. - Enhances the accuracy of medical diagnoses.

Commercial Applications: Title: Medical Imaging Technology for Abnormality Detection This technology can be used in medical imaging devices for various diagnostic purposes, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the information processing apparatus differentiate between normal and abnormal regions in the image frames? - The apparatus uses algorithms to analyze pixel patterns and variations to identify abnormal regions. 2. What are the potential limitations of using this technology in real-world medical settings? - Limitations may include accuracy of detection, compatibility with existing medical equipment, and regulatory approval processes.
