Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing devices require manual and time-consuming modifications to content information when image features detected from a movie differ from those in the content information, necessitating direct intervention by a manager or user to update associated display elements.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device equipped with a processor that detects image features from a target movie and compares them to stored content information, automatically modifying the content information by adding, deleting, or reordering display elements based on detected differences, allowing for automated updates without manual intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual modification of content information is performed, then accuracy of content information is maintained, but time and effort required for modification increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of content informationVSAvoidtime and effort for modification
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects image features in captured images, compares them with content information, and performs modifications without requiring manual intervention. The processor autonomously identifies differences and updates display elements, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring human operators for routine modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual process of identifying and modifying content information with an automated image processing system. The processor uses image feature detection and comparison algorithms to substitute human manual operations, eliminating the need for managers or users to directly edit content information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of time

If automated detection and modification is implemented, then time and effort for modification is reduced, but complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime and effort for modificationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processor is designed to perform multiple functions: capturing images, detecting image features, comparing features with content information, identifying differences, and modifying content information. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be separate complex systems into a single integrated processor, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining automation capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses image features as an intermediary between the captured images and the content information. By detecting and comparing these intermediate features, the system creates a bridge that simplifies the modification process, allowing automated updates without direct manipulation of the core content information structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If direct manual modification is performed, then understanding of content information is required, but ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of modificationVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs the modification task without requiring human understanding or intervention. The processor self-services by detecting image features, comparing them with content information, and executing modifications autonomously, eliminating the need for operators to understand the complex content information structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An information processing device includes a processor configured to: be capable of accessing a memory storing content information in which image features are each associated with a corresponding display element, the display element being displayed on a display unit when the image feature is detected from a movie displayed on the display unit; detect, from a target movie which is a target to be processed, image features in accordance with a predetermined rule; and, in response to a difference between the image features detected from the target movie and the image features included in the content information, modify the content information on the basis of the difference.
