Operation Device Aiming Position Determination Without Camera
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gaming systems require complex configurations and cumbersome operations to determine the aiming position, often necessitating a camera to capture the directional interface object, which complicates setup and use.
Innovation Solution
An operation device with a first switching operation unit, detection unit, aiming operation unit, and mode switching unit that allows users to switch between modes for determining aiming positions based on device movement or user operations, eliminating the need for a camera by using sensors and user inputs.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a camera is used to capture the directional interface object to determine the aiming position, then the aiming position can be determined, but the device complexity increases and the setup becomes more cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the camera component from the system and replaces it with a directional interface object that directly provides aiming information through its own operations. The directional interface object determines the aiming position based on its operational state rather than requiring external camera capture, thereby eliminating the complex camera system while maintaining aiming position determination capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The directional interface object serves itself by using its own operational characteristics to determine the aiming position. Instead of being observed by an external camera, the directional interface object itself provides the data needed for aiming position determination through its movement and orientation operations, simplifying the overall system configuration.
2Measurement precision
If a camera is connected to a home game console to construct the gaming system, then the aiming position can be determined, but the preparation for starting games becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the camera component and its associated setup requirements from the system. The directional interface object directly determines aiming positions through its own operational state, eliminating the need for camera positioning and configuration before starting games, thereby significantly improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The directional interface object autonomously determines aiming positions based on its operational characteristics without requiring external camera setup. This self-service capability eliminates the cumbersome preparation steps associated with camera configuration, allowing users to start games immediately without technical setup.
3Device complexity
If the aiming position is determined based on movement of the operation device, then the system configuration is simplified, but the measurement precision may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The directional interface object serves multiple functions: it acts as both the user interface for operation and the sensing mechanism for aiming position determination. By integrating these functions into a single component that leverages its own operational characteristics, the system achieves both simplified configuration and reliable aiming position determination through the object's inherent movement and orientation data.

AI summary
An operation device (3A or 3B) configured to operate an aiming position in response to an operation by a user includes a first switching operation unit (36) configured to receive an operation to switch an operation mode of the operation device, a detection unit (37) configured to detect movement of the operation device, an aiming operation unit (321 or 331) configured to operate the aiming position in response to an operation by the user, and a mode switching unit (411 or 415) configured to switch, depending on an operation on the first switching operation unit, the operation mode to one of a first mode in which the aiming position is determined on the basis of movement of the operation device detected by the detection unit and a second mode in which the aiming position is determined on the basis of an operation on the aiming operation unit.
