Marker-Based Function Retrieval for Adaptive Terminal Control

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems fail to achieve flexible association with user-specific situations when using image data, as URLs allocated to image data are fixed, limiting adaptability and operability improvements.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device and method that retrieves data records associated with markers detected in images, using a terminal device to determine the function to be called based on a calling history, allowing for flexible association with user-specific situations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed URLs are allocated to image data, then system simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to individual user situations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadaptability to user situationsVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by storing calling history data and marker-function associations in advance. When a marker is detected in an image, the system retrieves pre-stored data records that contain function information associated with that marker, enabling rapid adaptation without real-time complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by utilizing calling history information to dynamically determine which function to execute. The calling history serves as feedback that allows the system to adapt its behavior based on past user interactions with markers and functions, improving adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity through structured data retrieval.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Provided is an information processing device including a retrieval unit configured to retrieve a data record in which a marker detected in an image acquired by a terminal device is associated with a function of the terminal device, and a calling function determination unit configured to determine the function to be called in the terminal device based on the data record found through the retrieval. The data record includes information generated based on a calling history of the function in which the marker in the terminal device is used.
