Information Processing Device Abstraction Level Determination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems fail to appropriately determine the abstraction level of information, neglecting the perspectives of the information provider and receiver, which leads to mismatched content preferences and discomfort for both parties.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that acquires user information from both the watched and watching sides to determine an optimal abstraction level for presentation information, adjusting based on feedback and weighting coefficients to converge on a mutually desired level of information disclosure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If information is presented at a high abstraction level to protect privacy, then the watched user's privacy is protected, but the watching user cannot obtain sufficient information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of abstraction levels by allowing both the watched user and watching user to provide feedback, enabling the system to adaptively change the information presentation level over time based on user preferences and context, rather than using a fixed abstraction level
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where both users can express their information needs and privacy preferences, and this feedback is used to adjust the abstraction level of information presentation, creating a closed-loop control system that responds to user needs
2Loss of information
If information is presented at a low abstraction level to provide detailed information, then the watching user obtains sufficient information, but the watched user's privacy is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different abstraction levels to different types of information or different aspects of the monitored data, allowing detailed information to be provided in some areas while maintaining privacy protection in other areas, rather than applying a uniform abstraction level to all information
Solution Approach 2:
The information presentation is segmented into different abstraction levels that can be selectively applied, allowing the system to divide information into categories with different levels of detail and privacy protection based on user preferences and context
3Ease of operation
If the system accommodates both users' information preferences, then user comfort and usability are improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal information presentation system that serves multiple functions: it protects privacy, provides information, adapts to user preferences, and manages different abstraction levels, all within a single integrated system that handles both users' needs
4Device complexity
If fixed abstraction levels are used for information presentation, then the system is simple to implement, but content preferences of both users cannot be satisfied
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static, fixed abstraction levels to dynamic, adjustable abstraction levels that can change based on user feedback and context, enabling the system to adapt to different content preferences and situations

AI summary
An information processing device according to the present disclosure includes: an acquisition unit that acquires first user information related to a first user who is a user on a side to be watched over and second user information related to a second user who is a user on a side of watching over the first user; and a determination unit that determines an abstraction level of presentation information that is information indicating a state of the first user on the basis of the first user information and the second user information.
