Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for transferring data between devices with wireless communication functions are cumbersome, as users struggle to intuitively designate the correct transfer destination, leading to potential misconnections and difficulties in canceling processes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that includes a movement detection unit to detect specific operations and a process execution unit to execute processes accordingly, allowing for continuous processes or cancellations based on user actions, ensuring accurate data transfer and easy cancellation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a method based on estimation (such as using physical signals, time information, or sensor information) is used to designate a connection target, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates because a transfer destination may not be identified or a connection with an erroneous target may be established
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by displaying a list of candidate connection targets and allowing the user to select from them before establishing the actual connection. This preliminary selection step ensures that the connection is made to the intended target rather than relying solely on estimation, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and reliability.
2Ease of operation
If a technique allowing intuitive designation by physical signal is used, then the ease of operation is improved, but the ability to cancel the process deteriorates because there is no mechanism to cancel the process performed immediately before
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its behavior based on the user's selection status. When a candidate target is selected, the system enters a state where the process can be canceled. This dynamic state management allows the system to maintain intuitive operation while providing the flexibility to cancel processes, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and adaptability.
3Reliability
If a method requiring selection from a candidate list is used, then the reliability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because it is difficult to grasp the correspondence between the displayed name or image and the actual device
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback by displaying candidate connection targets with their names and images, allowing the user to verify the correspondence between the displayed information and the actual device before selection. This feedback mechanism helps users accurately identify the intended connection target, resolving the contradiction between reliability and ease of operation.

AI summary
There is provided an information processing device including a movement detection unit configured to detect a specific operation, and a process execution unit configured to, when the movement detection unit detects the specific operation, execute a process in accordance with the specific operation. In a case in which the movement detection unit has detected a first specific operation and the process execution unit has executed a first process in accordance with the first specific operation, if the movement detection unit further continuously detects the first specific operation, the process execution unit executes a second process that is continuous with the first process, and if the movement detection unit detects a second specific operation meaning a cancellation of the first process, the process execution unit executes a third process that cancels the first process.
