Panoramic Video Display Guide Information Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional techniques for displaying panoramic images do not provide users with information about areas outside the current display range, making it difficult for users to determine the direction to move their viewing direction to see additional content.
Innovation Solution
An information processing program that determines a display range based on user input, sets targets on panoramic images, and outputs guide information to indicate the relationship between the current display range and targets, allowing users to navigate and find additional information outside the current view.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional techniques display only the current panoramic image without additional information, then the display is simple and clear, but the user cannot know content in areas outside the display range and cannot determine navigation direction
Solution Approach 1:
The panoramic image is divided into the current display range (visible area) and target areas (outside the display range). Guide information separately indicates the relationship between these segments, allowing users to understand content beyond the current view without displaying the entire panoramic image at once.
Solution Approach 2:
Guide information acts as an intermediary element that conveys information about target areas outside the current display range. This mediator provides navigation direction and target location information without requiring the actual display of the target area content, thus reducing information loss while maintaining display simplicity.
2Ease of operation
If guide information is displayed to show relationship between display range and target, then navigation capability is improved, but display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Guide information is displayed locally on the display device rather than requiring a complete overhaul of the display system. The guide information appears as overlays or indicators on the current panoramic display, providing navigation assistance without fundamentally changing the display architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
Only the essential guide information needed for navigation is displayed (partial action), such as target location indicators and direction cues, rather than displaying all possible information about target areas. This provides sufficient navigation capability while avoiding excessive display complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users can set targets on different display devices, then communication and collaboration are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows multiple users to set targets on different display devices while maintaining a unified guide information display system. Each display device can independently receive target settings from different users, and the guide information adapts to reflect the current target regardless of which user set it, demonstrating multi-functionality and user collaboration capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to users by displaying guide information that reflects the current target state set by any user. This feedback mechanism enables users to see the results of their target settings and understand the navigation context, facilitating multi-user collaboration without requiring complex inter-device communication protocols.

AI summary
An example information processing device displays a partial area of a panoramic video on a display device. The information processing device determines a display range of the panoramic video to be displayed on the display device based on an input made on a predetermined input device. A range and/or a position on a panoramic image is set as a target. Then, the information processing device displays the panoramic video of the display range on the display device, and outputs guide information representing a relationship between the display range and the target.
