Information Processing System for Direct and Indirect Image Classification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need to distinguish between terminal devices that directly image an object and those that indirectly image an object, particularly for controlling content distribution plans, such as limiting or promoting content delivery.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system comprising a first information processing apparatus for capturing image data and a second apparatus for receiving and determining whether the image data is direct or indirect, allowing for controlled content output based on this distinction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If content is provided to all terminal devices that image an object, then content distribution is simplified, but content control and distribution planning cannot be implemented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments terminal devices into two distinct categories: parent terminals (that directly image the object) and child terminals (that indirectly image the object through captured images). This segmentation enables differentiated content distribution strategies, where content can be controlled and planned differently for direct and indirect imaging devices, thus resolving the contradiction between distribution simplicity and content control capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If terminal devices are classified into parent and child terminals, then content distribution control is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where terminal devices automatically determine their own classification (parent or child) based on whether they are capturing the object directly or imaging a displayed captured image. This automatic self-classification reduces the need for complex manual configuration or centralized device management, thereby limiting the increase in system complexity while maintaining content distribution control.
3Measurement precision
If captured images are transmitted for object recognition, then object recognition capability is improved, but information loss occurs in indirect imaging scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where captured images are displayed on a parent terminal's display unit, and child terminals image this display to indirectly recognize objects. The system acknowledges and manages the information loss inherent in this indirect imaging process by providing different content strategies for parent and child terminals, thus balancing object recognition capability with acceptable information quality thresholds.

AI summary
An information processing system that acquires image data corresponding to an object; acquires content based on a determination of whether the image data is direct image data that is directly acquired or indirect image data that is indirectly acquired; and outputs the acquired content.
