Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing devices struggle to effectively manage and control operations among multiple users performing simultaneous manipulations without dedicated devices, particularly in scenarios where grouping, ordering, or coordinating user interactions are required.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that acquires detection results from multiple manipulators within a predetermined region and generates attribute information to control operations based on these manipulations, allowing for grouping, ordering, and coordination of user interactions without the need for dedicated devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple users perform manipulations simultaneously without dedicated devices, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need to manage and control operations among multiple users
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments user interactions by detecting individual manipulators (hands, fingers, or objects) in the detection region and assigning unique identification information to each. This segmentation allows the system to distinguish and track multiple users' manipulations independently, managing complexity through structured identification rather than requiring dedicated devices for each user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary detection region between the users and the information processing device. This detection region captures images of manipulators and serves as a mediator that translates physical manipulations into digital signals with identification information, enabling multiple users to interact simultaneously without direct connection to the device.
2Reliability
If grouping and ordering mechanisms are implemented for multiple users, then reliability of user relation management is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting manipulators and assigning identification information before actual manipulation operations occur. It pre-establishes user relations through grouping and ordering mechanisms based on detection results, so that when manipulations happen, the system can reliably control operations according to pre-defined user relationships without complex real-time decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring the detection region, tracking manipulator positions and movements, and adjusting user relation management based on detected manipulation patterns. This feedback loop allows the system to dynamically manage multiple users while maintaining reliability through continuous observation and adaptation.
3Productivity
If detection results from multiple manipulators are processed, then productivity of multi-user interaction is improved, but loss of information increases due to the complexity of managing multiple data streams
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments multiple data streams by assigning unique identification information to each detected manipulator. This segmentation organizes the complex data from multiple users into distinct, trackable entities, preventing information loss through structured data management rather than processing all manipulations as a single undifferentiated stream.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates copies of manipulation data with associated identification information for each detected manipulator. Instead of processing original complex data streams directly, it generates simplified copies that retain essential manipulation information while incorporating user identification, making multi-user data management more efficient and less prone to information loss.
