ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR CONTROL OF DISPLAY OF VIRTUAL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240127562 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR CONTROL OF DISPLAY OF VIRTUAL DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a microphone, communication circuit, and processor that can identify voice commands to display a virtual device through a mixed reality (MR) device.

  • The electronic device includes a microphone, communication circuit, and processor.
  • The processor can identify voice commands for displaying a virtual device through an MR device.
  • The processor can determine if the MR device is worn and display an image on the virtual device accordingly.
  • The processor can transmit a signal to the MR device to display the image on the virtual device.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) devices for hands-free control and interaction with virtual objects.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of seamlessly integrating voice commands with MR devices to enhance user experience and interaction with virtual content.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved user interface, hands-free operation, and enhanced control of virtual devices through voice commands.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include AR/VR gaming, remote assistance, virtual meetings, and training simulations.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be voice-controlled virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, but the specific integration with MR devices for displaying virtual content may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact user privacy and data security?

This article does not address the potential privacy concerns related to using voice commands and transmitting data to MR devices. Companies implementing this technology would need to ensure data protection measures are in place.

What are the limitations of using voice commands for controlling virtual devices?

The article does not discuss any limitations or challenges that may arise from using voice commands, such as accuracy issues, language barriers, or background noise interference. Further research and testing may be needed to address these potential limitations.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device is provided. the electronic device includes a microphone. the electronic device includes a communication circuit. the electronic device includes a processor. the processor is configured to identify a voice command indicating display through a display of a virtual device registered using a software application for controlling another device through the electronic device, based on a recognition of a voice signal obtained through the microphone. the processor is configured to identify, based on the voice command, whether a mixed reality (mr) device configured to display the virtual device is worn. the processor is configured to obtain, in response to identifying that the mr device is worn, an image to be displayed on the display of the virtual device displayed through the mr device, based on device information registered using the software application as associated with the virtual device. the processor is configured to transmit, through the communication circuit to the mr device, a signal for displaying the image on the display of the virtual device displayed through the mr device.
