Solution Overview

Problem

Current information processing devices lack the ability to dynamically adjust the display of conversation partners based on the user's position, leading to inefficient interactions and potential security vulnerabilities.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device system that utilizes a controller to change the display of conversation partners depending on the user's position by integrating a position information acquiring unit and a specifying unit, allowing the device to identify and switch between general-purpose AI and device-specific AI based on proximity, thereby enhancing user interaction and security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the display of conversation partner is fixed regardless of user position, then the interface is simple and stable, but interaction efficiency decreases and security vulnerabilities arise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic display adjustment by detecting user position and automatically switching between general-purpose AI and device-specific AI conversation partners. The interface transitions from a static state to a dynamic state where the conversation partner changes based on real-time position information, resolving the contradiction between interaction efficiency and interface simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects user position and switches conversation partners without requiring manual user input or complex configuration. The device serves itself by autonomously adjusting the interface based on position data, maintaining simplicity while improving interaction efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If any user can access the device interface, then ease of operation is high, but security is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidaccess control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different access rights and conversation partner types to different spatial locations. Users in specific positions (e.g., near the device) access device-specific AI with control capabilities, while users in other positions access general-purpose AI with limited functionality. This spatial differentiation of access quality ensures security without complicating user operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses position information as an intermediary to mediate between user access requests and device control permissions. Rather than direct authentication, the position detector and controller use location data to automatically determine appropriate access levels, simplifying the security mechanism while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An information processing device includes a controller that changes, depending on a position of a user, display of a conversation partner who is responding in an interface for the user to make a conversation with the conversation partner. In a further modification of the invention, depending on a positional relationship between the user and a partner, the controller may change the display of the conversation partner who is responding, to display of the partner.
