Capturing Apparatus Arrangement Notification System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
It is challenging to arrange capturing apparatuses in sports environments to capture players and balls effectively, especially when the apparatuses are set up in the absence of players and balls, and this difficulty is exacerbated for individuals unfamiliar with the sport being captured.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that issue notifications regarding the relationship between the area to be captured and the capturing apparatus, based on area information and the apparatus's arrangement, to aid in optimal placement and adjustment of the capturing apparatuses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the capturing apparatus is arranged in advance without players and balls present, then the arrangement can be completed before the sport event, but it becomes difficult to ensure that players and balls are within the capture range
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by calculating and notifying the required capture range and apparatus arrangement position before the actual capture operation. The system computes the necessary capture area based on sport type and player/ball positions, then provides guidance for arranging the capturing apparatus in advance while ensuring accurate capture coverage.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a person unfamiliar with the sport arranges the capturing apparatus, then more diverse sports can be covered, but the arrangement becomes even more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information processing apparatus as an intermediary that automatically calculates capture ranges and provides arrangement notifications. This mediator translates complex sport-specific spatial requirements into simple guidance instructions, enabling unfamiliar operators to arrange capturing apparatus accurately for various sports without needing expert knowledge.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by providing automated calculations and notifications that guide the arrangement process. The information processing apparatus independently determines capture ranges based on sport types and player positions, then supplies this information to the operator, eliminating the need for external expertise in sport-specific arrangement knowledge.
3Area of stationary object
If the capturing apparatus is positioned to capture the entire sport area, then all players and balls can be captured, but the apparatus requires complex adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by calculating the optimal capture range and apparatus position before deployment. The information processing apparatus determines the necessary capture area based on sport characteristics and player/ball positions, then provides advance notification of the required arrangement, eliminating the need for complex real-time adjustment mechanisms during the sport event.
