Content Reproduction Control Unit Gesture Operation Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems struggle to accurately distinguish user-intended gesture operations from daily activities during content reproduction, leading to erroneous execution of processing tasks.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a control unit that accepts user operations during content reproduction and variably controls processing based on the reproduction position, utilizing specific operation acceptance periods for gesture operations like skipping and bookmarking, preventing misinterpretation of daily actions as intended commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the system continuously accepts user operations during content reproduction, then the user can freely control the content playback, but the system cannot distinguish between intentional gestures and daily activities, leading to erroneous processing execution
Solution Approach 1:
The continuous operation acceptance period is divided into multiple discrete operation acceptance periods, each corresponding to a specific reproduction position (e.g., intro period, climax period, outro period). This segmentation allows the system to accept only specific types of operations at specific times, enabling differentiation between intentional gestures and daily activities based on timing and context.
Solution Approach 2:
The operation acceptance periods are dynamically adjusted based on the reproduction position of the content. The system varies the acceptance criteria and timing according to whether the content is in its intro, climax, or outro phase, allowing flexible adaptation to different user intentions at different stages of content playback.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system executes processing based on detected gestures, then user interaction with content is enabled, but unintended operations from daily activities are misinterpreted as user commands
Solution Approach 1:
The system preliminarily determines operation acceptance periods before actual user operations occur. By pre-defining when certain operations should be accepted based on content structure (intro, climax, outro), the system prepares the correct interpretation framework in advance, enabling accurate distinction between intentional gestures and daily activities when operations are detected.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by comparing the detected operation timing and type against the pre-determined operation acceptance periods. This feedback mechanism allows the system to confirm whether a detected gesture was intentional or coincidental, improving the accuracy of gesture intention recognition through contextual validation.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit accepts a user operation during reproduction of content having a predetermined time length and variably controls processing to be executed for the user operation in accordance with a reproduction position of the content when the user operation is performed. The information processing apparatus executes processing suitable for an intention of a user in processing related to the content.
