Head-Mounted Display Settings Management via 3D Object Manipulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in locating and changing settings on complex electronic devices, such as head-mounted displays, due to their hierarchical structures, making it challenging to customize settings without extensive searching.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with processors and circuitry that acquires setting item information, displays objects representing these items in a three-dimensional space outside the operation screen region, and allows users to move these objects into the screen region to change settings, simplifying the customization process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If setting items are displayed in a complex hierarchical structure within the operation screen region, then all settings can be organized systematically, but users have difficulty locating desired setting items
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by moving setting items from the two-dimensional operation screen region to a three-dimensional virtual space. Objects representing setting items are displayed outside the operation screen region in 3D space, allowing users to locate and manipulate settings more intuitively by dragging objects into the screen region, thus resolving the contradiction between systematic organization and ease of location.
2Ease of operation
If virtual objects representing setting items are displayed outside the operation screen region in three-dimensional space, then users can easily locate and access setting items, but the operation screen region may become cluttered or lose information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the display space into two functional zones: the operation screen region for primary operations and the three-dimensional virtual space for setting item storage and manipulation. This segmentation allows setting items to be accessed externally without cluttering the main operation screen, resolving the contradiction between ease of access and screen space utilization.
3Ease of operation
If users can drag and drop setting item objects into the operation screen region, then setting changes become intuitive and simple, but the system requires complex interaction handling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by creating visual objects that represent setting items in the three-dimensional virtual space. These objects are copies or representations of the actual settings, allowing users to interact with intuitive visual elements rather than complex configuration parameters. The system handles the complexity of interaction mapping in the background while presenting simple drag-and-drop operations to users.

AI summary
An information processing device includes one or more processors and/or circuitry configured to: perform first acquisition processing to acquire information on a setting item of an electronic device, perform second acquisition processing to acquire information on an operation screen region of the electronic device in a three-dimensional space that represents a view seen by a user; perform display control processing to display an object representing the setting item of the electronic device outside the operation screen region in the three-dimensional space, and to change the object being displayed in accordance with the operation screen region in the three-dimensional space; and perform transmission processing to transmit information on a setting item corresponding to the object that was moved to the electronic device in response to an operation by the user moving the object into the operation screen region.
