Face Characteristic Detection for Personalized Game Object Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image display devices in electronic apparatuses, such as electronic notebooks and game apparatuses, fail to provide a highly entertaining display experience as they cannot control and display the growth process of objects, like plants, based on individual user inputs, leading to a lack of personalized interaction.
Innovation Solution
A storage medium with an information processing program that includes face characteristic data storage, detection, and motion control means, allowing the system to recognize and respond to user-specific face characteristics and interaction history, enabling personalized control of virtual objects' motions and enhancing the display experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional image display devices are used to display growth processes, then the display can be controlled by operation inputs, but the display cannot be personalized according to individual users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual operation input mechanisms with automatic face characteristic detection. The imaging device captures facial images and the detection unit automatically identifies face characteristics, eliminating the need for users to manually input information while enabling personalized display control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-identification of user characteristics through automatic face detection and characteristic extraction. The detection unit and storage unit work autonomously to capture, store, and retrieve face characteristics without requiring user intervention, enabling the system to adapt to individual users automatically.
2Ease of operation
If face characteristic detection is added to enable personalized control, then user engagement is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device serves multiple functions: capturing facial images for identification, storing face characteristic data for personalized control, and enabling automatic user recognition. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components while enhancing user engagement through personalized interaction.
Data Source
AI summary
A storage medium having stored an information processing program therein, an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing system, which enable highly entertaining display in accordance with a user which performs an operation input, are provided. A characteristic of the face of a user currently using a game apparatus 10 is detected, and data indicating the detected characteristic is compared to already stored data indicating characteristics of the faces of users. If there is data indicating a closest characteristic, among the already stored data, the data is selected. When the data is selected, a motion of an object is set and controlled in accordance with a number of times which the data is selected.
