Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing apparatuses, such as HMDs, face processing burdens and delays in recognizing commercial products within captured images, as they require complex processes involving image recognition and acceleration sensor data, leading to inefficiencies in object selection.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that includes an imaging section and a control section capable of detecting user operations within the captured image, allowing for the estimation of target objects based on detected operations, thereby reducing processing burdens and improving detection accuracy through region prioritization and distance detection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If complex processes including image recognition and acceleration sensor data are used to recognize commercial products, then recognition accuracy is improved, but processing burden increases and delays occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the acceleration sensor processing from the object recognition system, retaining only the imaging section for capturing images and the control section for processing image data alone. This extraction eliminates the complex multi-sensor processing while maintaining recognition functionality through image-based object selection and identification.
2Measurement precision
If complex processes including image recognition and acceleration sensor data are used to recognize commercial products, then recognition accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the time-consuming acceleration sensor data processing from the system, keeping only the imaging section and control section that process images directly. This extraction significantly reduces processing time by eliminating redundant sensor data acquisition and fusion operations while maintaining recognition accuracy through streamlined image-based processing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If all objects in the captured image are processed for recognition, then comprehensive identification is achieved, but processing burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the unnecessary processing of all objects in the image, keeping only the essential imaging and control functions. The system processes objects selectively based on user interaction and image analysis alone, eliminating the burden of comprehensive multi-sensor processing while maintaining the ability to identify target objects effectively.
