Application: Socializing based on personal protective equipment (Patent ID: US20240104787A1)
The patent filed by IBM describes a system, method, and computer product for enhancing socialization among individuals wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). The method involves identifying social communications between individuals wearing PPE, assigning identifiers to participants, analyzing the content of the communications, and generating augmented reality representations of the content for visualization on AR devices. The AR representations replace the PPE based on the assigned identifiers, allowing for improved social interactions while maintaining safety protocols.
The patent includes claims detailing the computer-implemented method, computer system, and computer program product for implementing the described techniques. These claims cover aspects such as using QR codes on PPE for identification, applying natural language processing to determine sentiment, integrating expressions based on sentiment into AR representations, associating identifiers with roles on a centralized platform, and continuously updating AR representations to reflect participant sentiment. The technology aims to facilitate social interactions among individuals wearing PPE, such as face masks, helmets, clothing, and goggles, by leveraging AR technology to enhance communication and engagement in various settings.
