Real-Time Content Superimposition on Communication Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems cannot superimpose additional content at a user-requested position on content already being displayed on communication devices in real time.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that control a user interface to acquire position information from user inputs, determine conditions based on this information, and display data accordingly, allowing for the superimposition of user content onto reference content on communication devices.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If real-time content distribution to communication devices is implemented, then content can be displayed on each device simultaneously, but the ability to superimpose additional content at user-requested positions is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the display content based on user inputs. The processor receives input signals from communication devices, determines superimposition positions, and dynamically generates combined content that merges reference content with user-provided content at specified locations. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain real-time distribution while enabling flexible content superimposition.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges reference content with user-provided content to create combined content. The processor combines the reference content (e.g., broadcast content) with user inputs (e.g., comments, images) at positions determined from input signals, generating a unified display that integrates both content sources while maintaining real-time distribution capabilities.
2Ease of operation
If content superimposition is enabled at user-requested positions, then user interaction and information display are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically processes user inputs and determines superimposition positions without requiring complex manual configuration. The processor automatically receives input signals, determines appropriate positions for content superimposition, and generates the combined content, reducing the operational burden on users while managing system complexity through automated processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where user inputs are received, processed to determine positions and content, and then displayed as combined content. This feedback mechanism allows users to interact with the system by providing inputs that directly influence the display, enhancing ease of operation while the automated feedback processing manages system complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing apparatus that controls a user interface to display content, acquires position information corresponding to an input received at the user interface, determines a condition corresponding to the position information, and controls the user interface to display data corresponding to the input based on a result of the determining.
