TERMINAL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240119674 titled 'TERMINAL APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a terminal apparatus that can display a 3D model of another user based on captured images and supplementary images.

  • The terminal apparatus includes a communication interface, a display, an imager, and a controller.
  • The imager captures images of a user, while the controller receives information to display a 3D model of another user from a different terminal apparatus.
  • The 3D model is created using the captured image and a supplementary image that includes an invisible portion of the captured image.
  • The display shows the 3D model with the invisible portion supplemented by a 3D model based on the supplementary image.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in virtual meetings, online gaming, and social networking platforms to create more realistic and interactive user experiences.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately representing users in virtual environments by creating 3D models based on captured images and supplementary images.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced user engagement, improved communication in virtual settings, and a more personalized user experience.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include virtual reality applications, video conferencing software, and online social platforms.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of augmented reality technology to overlay 3D models on real-world images captured by a camera.

Unanswered Questions

How does the technology handle privacy concerns related to capturing and displaying user images?

The patent application does not provide details on how privacy concerns related to capturing and displaying user images are addressed.

What are the limitations of the technology in terms of image quality and accuracy of the 3D models created?

The patent application does not discuss the limitations of the technology in terms of image quality and the accuracy of the 3D models created.


Original Abstract Submitted

a terminal apparatus includes a communication interface, a display, an imager configured to capture images of a user, and a controller configured to communicate using the communication interface. the controller is configured to receive information for displaying a 3d model representing another user, who uses another terminal apparatus, based on a captured image of the another user and a supplementary image that includes an invisible portion of the captured image, and control the display to display a 3d model in which the invisible portion in a 3d model based on the captured image is supplemented by a 3d model based on the supplementary image.
