Samsung patents projector that shows content based on user gestures
Samsung has filed a patent for an electronic device that uses a projector to display content in specific areas of a room. The system reads user gestures via a communication circuit to identify which content to show, then projects it onto a designated spot based on the surrounding environment.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic apparatus including a communication circuit; a projector; at least one processor including processing circuitry; and memory storing one or more instructions. The one or more instructions, when executed individually or collectively by the at least one processor, cause the electronic apparatus to, based on first gesture information of a user being obtained through the communication circuit, identify a second content corresponding to the first gesture information based on a first content provided through a first external device of at least one external device, and display, based on a first projection region associated with the first external device being identified from among at least one projectable region based on environment information corresponding to a projection space, the second content at the first projection region through the projector.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a communication circuit; a projector; at least one processor comprising processing circuitry; and memory storing one or more instructions, wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic apparatus to: based on first gesture information of a user being obtained through the communication circuit, identify a second content corresponding to the first gesture information based on a first content provided through a first external device of at least one external device, and based on a first projection region associated with the first external device being identified from among at least one projectable region based on environment information corresponding to a projection space, display the second content at the first projection region through the projector.
