Human Position Conversion Between Actual and Virtual Layouts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack an efficient method to convert human positions and movement patterns within actual structures into corresponding positions and patterns within virtual structures, limiting the ability to analyze and compare human behavior across different layouts.
Innovation Solution
A computer-readable medium storing a program that executes a position conversion process, which stores actual and virtual layout information, acquires human positions, and converts them between the two formats, allowing for the generation of movement lines and behavior patterns, enabling analysis across different layouts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If human position data is collected in actual physical structures, then real behavior data is obtained, but the data cannot be directly analyzed across different layouts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual copies of actual physical structures with identical coordinate systems. Human position data collected in the actual structure is directly mapped to the virtual structure without transformation, enabling reliable behavior analysis while allowing comparison across different layouts by creating multiple virtual copies of different actual structures
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a universal virtual structure framework that can accommodate multiple different actual layouts. The same virtual structure type can represent different physical stores, offices, or buildings, allowing the system to analyze behavior patterns across diverse layouts using a unified approach
2Adaptability or versatility
If position conversion between different layout formats is implemented, then cross-layout analysis becomes possible, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent equalizes the coordinate systems between actual and virtual structures, making them directly compatible without requiring complex transformation calculations. By establishing identical coordinate origins, orientations, and units in both actual and virtual structures, the system achieves cross-layout analysis capability while minimizing conversion complexity

AI summary
A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program that causes a computer to execute a position conversion process. The process includes storing actual layout information and virtual layout information, the actual layout information defining a layout of a first subject within an actual structure, the virtual layout information defining a layout of a second subject within a virtual structure; acquiring a human position within the actual structure; and converting the human position in the actual layout information into the human position in the virtual layout information.
