Solution Overview

Problem

Existing robot object controlling systems lack the ability to automatically generate appropriate comments for users during joint viewing experiences, particularly in the context of growing demand for automated commentary in gaming and esports.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that acquires game state data, estimates the user's game situation, and generates comments based on the user's internal state, utilizing trained models for situation and emotional analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automated comment generation is implemented, then productivity is improved, but manufacturing precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomment generation efficiencyVSAvoidcomment appropriateness accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The comment generation process is divided into distinct functional modules: state data acquisition unit, situation estimation unit, internal state estimation unit, and comment generation unit. Each module handles a specific aspect of the generation process, allowing for specialized processing while maintaining overall system productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary estimation of the user's game situation and internal state before generating the actual comment. This preliminary analysis phase prepares the necessary contextual information in advance, enabling the comment generation to proceed efficiently with accurate appropriateness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple estimation units are added to improve comment accuracy, then device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomment appropriateness accuracyVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple estimation functions (situation estimation and internal state estimation) are merged into a unified information processing apparatus. This consolidation allows the system to achieve high comment appropriateness through comprehensive analysis while avoiding the complexity of multiple separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The information processing apparatus is designed with multi-functional units that can handle different types of analysis (game state, situation, internal state) within a single integrated system. This universality reduces overall device complexity compared to having separate specialized systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A state data acquisition unit 120 acquires state data indicative of a progress state of a game. A situation estimation unit 122 estimates a user's game situation from the acquired state data. An internal state estimation unit 124 estimates an internal state of the user from the estimated game situation. A comment generation unit 126 generates a comment to the user on the basis of the estimated internal state of the user.
