Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Information processing devices face difficulties in accurately identifying operation targets when multiple targets are visibly presented, leading to discontinuous interactions with users due to complex operations and potential misinterpretation of user intentions.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a control unit to display information, a detection unit to detect operations, and an identification unit to separate display candidates, allowing for accurate target identification by controlling the display positions of multiple candidates to prevent overlap and improve user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If multiple display candidates are shown in close proximity to maintain compact display, then display space utilization is improved, but target identification accuracy deteriorates due to overlapping or confusing visual presentation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by separating display candidates along the depth dimension (z-axis) in addition to the traditional two-dimensional screen plane. By controlling the display depth of candidates based on their selection probability, the system creates a three-dimensional display hierarchy where high-probability candidates appear closer to the user while low-probability candidates are positioned deeper, resolving the conflict between compact display and accurate target identification.
2Measurement precision
If the system requests the same input again to identify the target, then identification accuracy may be improved, but interaction complexity and user burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by proactively displaying multiple candidate targets with differentiated display depths based on predicted selection probability before the user makes a final selection. This preliminary differentiation reduces the likelihood of misidentification and minimizes the need for repeated input requests, thereby improving target identification accuracy while maintaining simple interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies feedback by continuously monitoring user interaction patterns and adjusting the display depth of candidates based on predicted selection probability. This dynamic feedback mechanism allows the system to adapt to user preferences and improve identification accuracy without requiring complex re-input procedures, as the display presentation evolves based on accumulated interaction data.
3Measurement precision
If display candidates are separated to improve target identification, then identification accuracy is improved, but display layout complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display layout adaptive rather than static. The display depth and position of candidates are dynamically adjusted based on their predicted selection probability, allowing the layout to automatically optimize for identification accuracy without requiring complex manual configuration. This dynamic approach simplifies the overall system while improving performance.

AI summary
There is provided an information processing device to realize an interaction with a user in a more preferred manner even in a situation in which an operation is selectively performed on a plurality of visibly presented targets, the information processing device including: a control unit configured to cause a predetermined output unit to display one or more pieces of display information; a detection unit configured to detect an operation for a visible object; and an identification unit configured to identify a candidate for display information serving as a target of the operation in accordance with a detection result of the operation. In a case in which there are a plurality of identified candidates, the control unit controls a display position of at least one candidate such that the plurality of candidates are separated from each other.
