3D Gesture Interface for Detailed Facility Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional user interfaces fail to provide detailed information about objects in an image in response to simple user operations, limiting the clarity of visual recognition.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that utilizes a controller to transmit information about a target facility specified in a video captured by a user device, based on user gestures, to an output device within a predetermined range, using a three-dimensional space analysis to enhance detail display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional user interfaces manipulate image objects by zooming in and out, then the user can view the image at different scales, but the details of various objects contained in the image are not clearly shown
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional image manipulation (zooming) to three-dimensional spatial interaction. The system captures the user's physical position and movement in 3D space, and uses this spatial information to control the display of detailed information about objects in the image, creating a new dimension of interaction that provides details without requiring complex zoom operations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that captures the user's physical gestures and spatial movements, processes this information, and translates it into appropriate information display actions. This intermediary layer (the information processing apparatus) mediates between the user's simple physical movements and the complex task of displaying detailed object information, making the interaction easier while maintaining information completeness
2Loss of information
If the system provides detailed information about objects in the image, then the user gains better visual recognition, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing apparatus performs multiple functions using a unified approach: it captures the user's physical state, processes spatial information, identifies objects in the image, and displays detailed information. This multi-functional design avoids the need for separate complex subsystems for each function, reducing overall system complexity while still providing comprehensive object details
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically processes the user's physical movements and spatial position without requiring explicit commands. The information processing apparatus self-adjusts the displayed information based on the user's natural movements, eliminating the need for complex user interface controls and reducing the operational complexity of the system
Data Source
AI summary
A controller transmits, based on a command by a gesture of a user acquired via a user device, information about a target facility specified in a video captured by the user device, to the user device, or an output device existing in a predetermined range from the position of the user device. The target facility is specified based on the state of the user in the three-dimensional space or the state, in the three-dimensional space, of the user device moving with the user.
