Contactless Operation Confirmation Area for Information Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems face issues with erroneous operations when using contactless interfaces, as the detection area for operations is not clearly defined, leading to potential misselection of objects during contactless operations.
Innovation Solution
The system displays a second area of different size from the initial area when an object is detected, allowing for confirmation of the intended operation by the user, thereby reducing erroneous selections.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a contactless operation interface is implemented with a detection area, then operation convenience is improved, but erroneous operations increase due to unclear detection boundaries
Solution Approach 1:
The detection area is segmented into a first area (initial detection zone) and a second area (confirmation zone). When the target enters the first area, the system displays the object and waits for confirmation. The target must then enter the second area to confirm selection, preventing erroneous operations from accidental proximity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs a preliminary detection phase in the first area before confirming operation. This preliminary action allows the system to prepare the interface (displaying the object) while requiring additional confirmation in the second area, ensuring the user intentionally initiates the operation.
2Speed
If the detection area is made larger to improve detection sensitivity, then operation responsiveness increases, but the risk of selecting wrong objects increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection area is divided into two functional zones: the first area for initial detection and the second area for confirmation. This segmentation allows the system to maintain responsive detection while adding a confirmation step that prevents wrong selections.
Solution Approach 2:
The second area acts as an intermediary between the initial detection and final operation confirmation. It serves as a buffer zone that requires additional user intent verification before executing the operation, thereby preventing erroneous selections.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a processor configured to, when an object in a screen is to be operated with a target in a contactless manner, in response to detection of the target over a first area included in the screen and displaying the object, cause a second area having a different size from the first area to be displayed to confirm an operation to be performed on the object.
