Controller Profile Display Feedback for Easier Profile Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing number of profiles stored in controllers necessitates a mechanism for easy switching and checking of profile information, with conventional feedback methods being inconvenient for users.
Innovation Solution
The controller includes a function button for switching profiles and a display control unit that displays profile information upon detection of a predetermined button input, providing visual and tactile feedback for convenient user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the number of profiles stored in the controller is increased, then the functionality and customization options are improved, but the ease of checking and managing profile information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the display unit shows profile information in response to button inputs. When a user presses a button on the controller, the information processing device retrieves and displays corresponding profile data, providing immediate feedback about the stored profiles without requiring complex navigation or memory recall from the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The display unit acts as an intermediary between the controller's internal profile storage and the user. Instead of requiring users to directly access or remember profile details stored in the controller, the system mediates this interaction by retrieving and presenting profile information through the display, simplifying the user's task of checking profile data.
2Device complexity
If conventional feedback methods are used for profile switching, then the system complexity is reduced, but the user convenience and interaction quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides multiple types of feedback (visual display and tactile button response) to confirm profile switching and display information. This feedback mechanism enhances user convenience by making the system's state and responses clear, while the implementation remains relatively simple as it uses existing controller buttons and display capabilities without requiring complex additional hardware.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller itself serves as both the input device and the information source. By using the controller's own buttons to trigger profile information display, the system eliminates the need for separate navigation devices or complex interface mechanisms, achieving user convenience through self-service while maintaining system simplicity.

AI summary
An information processing device includes an acquisition unit and a display control unit. The acquisition unit of the information processing device acquires setting information stored in a controller and associated with a manipulation of the controller. The display control unit of the information processing device causes a display device to display information corresponding to the setting information acquired by the acquisition unit and associated with the manipulation of the controller, in response to detection of input of a predetermined manipulation using a first button provided on the controller, during execution of an application.
