Solution Overview

Problem

Users find it difficult to intuitively recognize the correspondence between images of three-dimensional spaces generated using special techniques and actual scenes in navigation systems, as these images do not accurately represent the viewed scene.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device and program that control the generation of three-dimensional image information based on terminal device position and orientation, allowing for the creation of first and second image information corresponding to these parameters, enabling users to view desired scenes and intuitively recognize their correspondence with actual views.

1Ease of operation

If structural objects are drawn using special techniques (wire frame, translucent form), then the object of interest becomes easier to recognize, but the image becomes less similar to the actual scene, making it difficult for users to intuitively recognize the correspondence relationship

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The image is segmented into multiple layers: a first image showing the actual scene and a second image showing the structural object of interest. By separating these visual elements into distinct layers that can be independently controlled and displayed, the system allows users to recognize both the object of interest and its correspondence to the actual scene without the conflicting requirements of special drawing techniques

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary mechanism (the layered image display system with controllable transparency and positioning) that mediates between the need to highlight the object of interest and the need to maintain scene correspondence. This intermediary allows dynamic adjustment of how the object is emphasized while preserving the relationship to the actual scene

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

There is provided an information processing device including a control unit that controls generation of image information of three-dimensional space based on position information indicating a position of a terminal device and orientation information indicating an orientation of the terminal device, and an obtaining unit that obtains a request for a change related to the generation of the image information. The control unit controls the generation in a manner that first image information of the three-dimensional space corresponding to the position and the orientation is generated, and when obtaining the request, the control unit controls the generation in a manner that second image information of the three-dimensional space corresponding to the position, the orientation, and the change is generated.
