Samsung's Revolutionary Method for Commanding Objects using Visual Descriptors

In the modern world, technology is advancing at a rapid speed. Every day, new inventions are made that make our lives easier and more efficient. One such invention, recently patented by Samsung Electronics Co., is a method of using a tag and visual descriptors to help a computer understand and respond to user commands.

At its core, this patent is an example of a human-computer interaction (HCI). This means that computers and humans can communicate with each other in a meaningful way. Simply put, the computer will obtain images of the target object, detect user motions, and obtain information related to the object. When the computer receives a signal corresponding to the tag, it will perform an operation based on the visual descriptors.

This technology could be revolutionary for the computing industry. Imagine being able to command computers with the wave of a hand. You could ask a computer to turn on the lights or open the curtains with a simple gesture, or even play your favorite song. This could be a game changer for the way we interact with technology.

Furthermore, this technology could also be used to help those with physical disabilities. Commands could be given to computers without having to physically interact with them. This could help those with physical disabilities to interact with their environment more easily and efficiently.

It's important to note, however, that this technology is still in its early stages. It is possible that it will never make it to the market, and even if it does, it may take years to be fully developed. Still, the potential for this technology is exciting, and it's worth keeping an eye on in the future.

This patent, US20230237820A1, is owned by Samsung Electronics Co. and was filed on Dec. 6, 2022. It is a continuation of an International application No. PCT/KR2022/019693, filed on Jan. 25, 2022, and of a Korean patent application number 10-2022-0076377, filed on Jun. 22, 2022, both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.

In conclusion, Samsung Electronics Co. has patented a method of using a tag and visual descriptors to help a computer understand and respond to user commands. This technology could revolutionize the way we interact with computers and even help those with physical disabilities. However, there is no guarantee that this technology will ever come to the market, so it is worth keeping an eye on in the future.
