Costume Interaction Control Using Item Detection and Actor Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for enhancing user experience at theme parks or similar venues, such as those involving costumes, lack the ability to dynamically respond to users holding specific items or associated information, thereby limiting the depth of interaction and engagement.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a control unit that detects users holding specific items or associated with specific information and triggers corresponding performances by the costumes, while also notifying the actors, thereby enriching the user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a monitor is included outside a costume to transmit URI information, then information transmission capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the information transmission function from the costume itself and implements it through a separate mobile terminal device. The costume includes an IC reader/writer that detects items held by users, while the mobile terminal displays URI information and communicates with the costume. This separation allows information transmission without adding complex components to the costume structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal acts as an intermediary between the costume's IC reader/writer and the information display system. The terminal receives detection results from the costume, retrieves URI information, and presents it to the user through the display screen, thereby enabling information transmission without direct integration of display components into the costume.
2Adaptability or versatility
If detection capabilities are added to identify users around a costume, then user interaction personalization is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal device performs multiple functions: it displays URI information, detects the costume's IC reader/writer signals, retrieves information based on detection results, and provides user interface control. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single universal device, the system achieves personalized user interaction without distributing complexity across multiple specialized components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service detection where the mobile terminal automatically detects the costume's presence and retrieves relevant information without requiring manual input from the user. The terminal autonomously communicates with the IC reader/writer, processes detection results, and presents appropriate content, thereby achieving personalized interaction with minimal user effort.

AI summary
An information processing device includes processing circuitry configured to detect that a user holding a specific item or a user associated with specific information is located around a costume; and a cause a performance unit of the costume to perform a specific performance in response to the detection or notify an actor wearing the costume of information on the user associated with the specific information.
