Solution Overview

Problem

In existing information processing systems, when a target object is not recognized from a captured image, related information is not displayed to the user, limiting their ability to access important details.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus that includes a capturing section, a recognition section, and a control section, which displays a first image with target object information when recognition occurs, and a second image with different information when recognition does not occur, ensuring users can access relevant information regardless of recognition status.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the system displays information based on target object recognition, then the accuracy of information display is improved, but the availability of information is worsened when recognition fails

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracyVSAvoidinformation availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by displaying information based on recognition results, but the contradiction arises because this approach fails when recognition does not occur. The patent does not fully resolve this contradiction as it maintains the limitation that information is only displayed when recognition succeeds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system requires target object recognition to display information, then the relevance of displayed information is improved, but the accessibility of information is worsened when recognition fails

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation relevanceVSAvoidinformation accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system takes preliminary action by preparing to display relevant information when recognition occurs, but this creates accessibility issues when recognition fails. The patent maintains this limitation without providing alternative access methods, thus not fully resolving the contradiction between relevance and accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If the system uses recognition-based information display, then the precision of information matching is improved, but the reliability of information provision is worsened when recognition fails

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation matching precisionVSAvoidinformation provision reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by matching information to recognized objects, but reliability deteriorates when recognition fails. The patent does not implement fallback mechanisms or alternative information provision methods, leaving the system unreliable in recognition failure scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An information processing apparatus includes a capturing section, a recognition section that recognizes that a target object is represented in a captured image captured by the capturing section, and a control section that displays a first image obtained by adding an image based on target object information related to the target object to the captured image on a display section in a case where the recognition section recognizes the target object, and displays a second image which is different from the first image and includes the image based on the target object information on the display section in a case where the recognition section does not recognize the target object.
