Control Device for Seamless Content Presentation Across Spaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems fail to present appropriate content to users by not considering the relationship between states before and after spatial moving, leading to discontinuity in content presentation across different spaces.
Innovation Solution
A control method and device that utilize multiple sensor sections and output sections connected via a network to detect human activity in different spaces, determining and adjusting content output based on activity data from previous and current periods to ensure seamless content presentation across spaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional systems present content based on current space only, then content presentation is simple and responsive, but continuity and contextuality across spaces are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of human activities in previous spaces before the user moves to the current space. This advance detection allows the system to prepare and maintain content contextuality, ensuring continuity of content presentation across space transitions without requiring complex real-time coordination between multiple spaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The control device acts as an intermediary that receives activity information from sensor sections in multiple spaces, processes this information to determine content suitability, and coordinates content output across different output sections. This intermediary role enables seamless content continuity while keeping individual sensor and output sections relatively simple.
2Loss of information
If the system detects human activity in multiple spaces with multiple sensor sections, then content contextuality improves, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential activity information needed for content determination from the data collected by multiple sensor sections. Rather than processing all raw sensor data, the control device focuses on key activity patterns and spatial transition information, reducing processing complexity while preserving the necessary spatial context for content continuity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system divides the monitoring area into multiple discrete spaces, each with its own sensor section. This segmentation allows independent detection in each space while the control device coordinates them through structured activity information exchange, making the overall information processing more manageable compared to a unified continuous monitoring approach.
3Ease of operation
If content is continuously adjusted based on spatial moving, then user experience improves, but response time may be delayed due to multiple period detections
Solution Approach 1:
The system detects and processes activity information from previous spaces in advance, before the user actually moves to the current space. This preliminary detection allows the control device to pre-determine appropriate content, so when the user arrives at the current space, content can be output immediately without waiting for real-time detection, thus maintaining fast response while ensuring continuity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the detection and content determination process based on user movement patterns. By detecting activities in previous spaces and using this information to predict current space needs, the system creates a dynamic, adaptive content delivery mechanism that responds quickly to user movements while maintaining contextual continuity.

AI summary
A control method of presented information in a control device, having first and second sensor sections and that is connected to a network, is provided. The method includes acquiring information concerning a human activity detected by first and second sensor sections during first and second periods. The method also includes a first control operation of (i) determining content that is to be output by the first output section during the second period, based on the information concerning a human activity detected during the first period by the first and second sensor sections, and then (ii) causing the first output section to output the determined content in a case where it is determined that a human activity is performed during the second period in a space in which the first sensor section is disposed, based on the information concerning a human activity during the second period acquired from the first sensor section.
