Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems lack efficient methods for acquiring and outputting holding state information from a portable terminal to another information processing terminal, used by different users.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes a holding information acquisition unit to acquire holding state information from a portable terminal used by a first user and an output unit to output this information to an information processing terminal used by a second user.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If holding state information is acquired and output between different users' terminals, then information sharing capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharing capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary information processing system that mediates between the portable terminal and the information processing terminal. This mediator handles the complex tasks of acquiring holding state information from sensors, processing the data, and outputting it to the other terminal, thereby shielding the end users from system complexity while enabling information sharing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where holding state information is continuously acquired and transmitted to the other terminal. This creates a closed-loop information flow that enables real-time awareness of the portable terminal's state by the second user, improving adaptability through continuous information updating.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If holding state information is transmitted between terminals, then user awareness of terminal state is improved, but information loss is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation lossVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential holding state information (such as position, orientation, or usage state) from the portable terminal and transmits it to the information processing terminal. By taking out only the necessary information rather than all terminal data, the system minimizes information loss while avoiding unnecessary processing overhead that would reduce productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An information processing system includes: a holding information acquisition unit that acquires, from a portable terminal used by a first user, holding state information indicating a holding state of the portable terminal; and an output unit that outputs the holding state information to an information processing terminal used by a second user who is different from the first user. According to the information processing system, it is possible to properly output the holding state of the portable terminal by the first user, to the second user who is different from the first user.
