METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND TERMINAL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240094812 titled 'METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND TERMINAL APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the abstract involves a terminal apparatus displaying objects on a screen, including faces of other users who are communicating with the user. The method detects the object the user is looking at, transmits this information to a server, receives information about what each interlocutor is looking at, and adjusts the orientation and arrangement of the objects on the screen to ensure each interlocutor is looking at their respective gaze object.

  • Terminal apparatus displays objects on a screen, including faces of other users.
  • Detects the object the user is looking at as their gaze object.
  • Transmits user's gaze object information to a server.
  • Receives information about each interlocutor's gaze object from the server.
  • Adjusts orientation and arrangement of objects on the screen to satisfy specific conditions.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in video conferencing platforms to enhance the user experience by ensuring that participants are looking at the right objects during conversations.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of miscommunication or misinterpretation during video calls by ensuring that participants are looking at the intended objects, improving overall communication effectiveness.

Benefits
