Map-Based Content Playback Control for Overlapping Regions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content systems do not provide a new user experience using position information, limiting the interactive and immersive potential of content playback.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that associates regions with playback target content and type information, controlling playback based on user position and region overlap, with priority settings for audio and image data, using a viewer terminal, content providing server, and information processing apparatus to manage and deliver content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If content is displayed on a map using representative markers, then content selection becomes easier, but the system cannot provide immersive position-based playback control
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments content delivery into two distinct interfaces: a map-based interface for content selection (using representative markers) and a playback control interface for position-based control. This segmentation allows each interface to optimize for its specific function without compromise.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that bridges content selection and playback control. The system uses region information and position data as intermediaries to connect the user's selection on the map with the actual playback control, enabling both easy selection and immersive control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple content types are played simultaneously in overlapping regions, then user experience becomes more immersive, but playback control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different playback control characteristics to different regions and content types. Each region can have its own playback rules, priority settings, and control parameters, allowing the system to manage multiple content types without uniform complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes to manage playback complexity, specifically by introducing priority parameters and region parameters that dynamically control which content plays and how. These parameters allow the system to handle multiple overlapping contents by changing playback states based on predefined rules.
3Adaptability or versatility
If region-based playback control is implemented, then new user experience is provided, but handling overlapping regions with multiple priorities becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining priority relationships and playback rules for overlapping regions before actual playback occurs. The system establishes a hierarchy of content priorities and region configurations in advance, so that when overlaps occur, the control logic is already determined and execution becomes straightforward.

AI summary
An information processing system according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an acquisition unit, a setting unit, and a playback control unit. The acquisition unit acquires map information. The setting unit associates a region, playback target content, and type information with each other and sets the region, the playback target content, and the type information as content region information, the region being set on the basis of the map information, the type information indicating a playback control type for the playback target content. The playback control unit controls playback of the playback target content on the basis of the type information. In this information processing system, the region, the playback target content, and the type information indicating the playback control type are associated with each other and set as the content region information. This can provide a new user experience.
