Input Correction Unit for Game View Rotation Sensitivity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Players face difficulties in game operations due to inconsistent key assignments and sensitivity settings, leading to hard operations when moving characters in virtual three-dimensional spaces, especially when using controllers or portable terminals with one-hand operation scenarios.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that acquires input values from operation apparatuses, corrects rotation angles based on pre-calculated correction values, and adjusts the sensitivity of operations to match user preferences, allowing for smoother and more intuitive control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the game apparatus uses default key assignment and sensitivity settings, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates when the default settings do not match user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing correction values for various sensitivity combinations before the user needs them. The system prepares multiple correction value sets in advance, each corresponding to different sensitivity combinations, so that when a user selects specific sensitivities, the appropriate correction values are already available for immediate application without requiring real-time calculation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the correction value selection adaptive and changeable based on user input. The system dynamically selects appropriate correction values from pre-calculated sets according to the sensitivity combinations actually chosen by the user during operation. This allows the system to transition from static default settings to dynamic user-adapted settings without increasing computational complexity during gameplay.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the rotation processing amount is fixed by game settings, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability deteriorates when the fixed settings do not match user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating correction values for various rotation angle combinations before the user needs them. The system prepares multiple correction value sets in advance, each corresponding to different rotation angle combinations, so that when a user selects specific rotation settings, the appropriate correction values are already available for immediate application without requiring real-time calculation.

3Ease of operation
If the sensitivity settings are adjusted to match user preferences, then the ease of operation is improved, but the loss of time increases due to the correction calculation process

AI summary
An information processing device includes an operation acquisition unit (361) configured to acquire an input value in accordance with an inputting operation from an operation apparatus, an operation correction unit (369) configured to correct a rotation angle corresponding to the acquired input value on the basis of a correction value retained in advance, and a processing unit (application execution unit (36B)) configured to rotate a point of view of rendering in a virtual space in accordance with the corrected rotation angle. Consequently, the rotation angle of the point of view can be corrected to a rotation angle favorable to a user.
