Information Processing Apparatus for AR Collaboration Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information processing systems fail to effectively superimpose virtual images of speech and action information onto real spaces in a seamless and user-friendly manner, particularly in collaborative environments like conferences, limiting the ability to visualize and manage participant interactions and contributions.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that generates and displays virtual images of speech and action information based on historical data, using head-mounted display devices to overlay virtual content onto real-world scenes, allowing users to view both virtual and real environments simultaneously, with features like gesture detection and voice recognition for interactive control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If virtual images of speech and action information are superimposed onto real spaces using head-mounted display devices, then users can visualize and manage participant interactions in real-time, but the device complexity and information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments information processing by dividing tasks between the information processing apparatus (which collects, stores, and manages history information) and the head-mounted display device (which retrieves and displays virtual images). This segmentation reduces the processing burden on individual devices while maintaining comprehensive visualization capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an information processing apparatus as an intermediary between data sources and display devices. This intermediary collects, processes, and manages history information, then provides it to display devices for visualization. The intermediary handles the complexity of information management centrally, allowing display devices to focus on presentation.
2Ease of operation
If history information is collected and processed to generate display images, then user-friendly visualization is achieved, but information processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing history information (speech, action, attribution information) in advance during conferences or meetings. This pre-collected data is organized and ready for rapid retrieval and visualization when needed, reducing processing time during actual use.
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing apparatus automatically collects, processes, and manages history information without requiring manual intervention. The system self-services by autonomously gathering data from multiple sources, organizing it according to attribution information, and preparing it for display, thereby reducing both processing time and operational complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of information (speech, action, attribution) are integrated into display images, then comprehensive collaboration management is enabled, but the quantity of information to be processed increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing apparatus performs multiple functions: collecting speech information, capturing action information, processing attribution information, generating display images, and managing storage. This multi-functional system handles diverse information types through a unified platform, improving versatility while managing information volume efficiently through integrated processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple information types (speech, action, attribution) into unified display images that present comprehensive participant interaction data. By combining these different information streams into integrated visual representations, the system manages large quantities of information in a consolidated manner, making the data more manageable and actionable.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a generation unit and an instruction unit. The generation unit generates a display image including information on speech or action of a target person, based on history information that the target person has made speech or action. The instruction unit instructs a display device, which displays an image of a virtual space so as to be superimposed in a real space, to display the generated display image as the image of the virtual space.
