Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing adaptive controllers lack the necessary adaptability and convenience for users with physical disabilities and diverse application requirements, as they are not easily customizable in terms of button assignments and posture adjustments.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus connected with an operation apparatus featuring a first operation member and a second operation member, where the processor determines the positional relation between the two members and stores setting information for customizable button assignments and posture adjustments, allowing users to customize the controller's operation mode and provide alerts for essential function assignments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If adaptive controllers are made freely customizable in terms of button assignments and posture adjustments, then adaptability to various users is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the controller's posture and button assignment configurations before actual use. The determining section detects positional relations between operation members in advance, and the setting information registering section stores these configurations beforehand, so that when users operate the controller, the system already has the necessary adaptation data ready, reducing real-time complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the determining section continuously monitors the positional relations between operation members, and this information is fed back to the setting information registering section for storage and update. This feedback loop enables the system to automatically adapt to user preferences and physical characteristics without requiring complex manual configuration each time
2Measurement precision
If the controller detects positional relations between operation members, then operation accuracy is improved, but information processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller performs self-detection of its own positional relations between operation members using built-in sensors and processing capabilities. The determining section utilizes the controller's inherent ability to detect its configuration without requiring external measurement devices, thereby improving precision while minimizing additional energy consumption from external systems
3Adaptability or versatility
If setting information is stored in the operation apparatus, then adaptability is improved, but storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and stores only the essential setting information related to positional relations between operation members and button assignments, separating this critical adaptive data from other controller data. By taking out only the necessary configuration parameters for adaptation, the system achieves high adaptability while minimizing storage requirements

AI summary
Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus connected with an operation apparatus including a first operation member whose input operation by a user is detected as information on a two-dimensional plane and a second operation member different from the first operation member. The information processing apparatus includes a determining section that determines a positional relation between the first operation member and the second operation member according to input operation on the operation apparatus in a predetermined mode, and a setting information registering section that causes the operation apparatus to store setting information including information regarding the positional relation between the first operation member and the second operation member.
