Posture-Based Data Transmission for Portable Information Processors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing portable information processors require users to manually enter data content and transmission destination, which is cumbersome, as they only determine the transmission destination device based on sensor detection results but not the data content.
Innovation Solution
An information processor with a sensor that determines both the transmission destination device and data content based on its posture, using a transmission destination device determination section and a transmission data determination section, allowing seamless data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If data content and transmission destination are determined manually by user input, then accuracy of data selection is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic determination of transmission destination device and data content based on sensor detection results without requiring user input. The determination sections automatically identify the intended recipient and select appropriate data based on detected posture, orientation, or position, enabling the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual user operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical input method (user typing or button pressing) with sensor-based detection. Sensors detect physical quantities such as posture, orientation, or position, and the determination sections translate these physical measurements into automatic decisions about transmission destination and data content, substituting physical user interaction with automated sensing and processing.
2Ease of operation
If only transmission destination device is determined automatically, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to manual data entry requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The determination sections serve multiple functions: they identify transmission destination devices based on sensor data and simultaneously select appropriate data content for transmission. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate manual operations (selecting recipient and selecting data), reducing overall system complexity despite adding automated determination capabilities.
3Productivity
If data content is determined based on sensor detection, then productivity is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The determination sections act as intermediary components between sensor detection and data content selection. They process sensor detection results (posture, orientation, position) and translate them into appropriate data content choices, serving as a mediator that bridges the gap between physical sensing and information selection without requiring direct high-precision mapping.

AI summary
There is provided an information processor that allows for determination of data content to be transmitted and a destination device to which to transmit the data on the basis of the posture of the information processor identified on the basis of detection results of a sensor adapted to detect the posture thereof, a control method of an information processor, a program, and an information storage medium. A game process execution section (74) adapted to determine a transmission destination device on the basis of the posture of the information processor identified on the basis of detection results of the sensor. A missile data generation section (76) adapted to determine data content to be transmitted to the transmission destination device on the basis of the posture of the information processor identified on the basis of detection results of the sensor at a time different from when the transmission destination device is determined. A missile data transmission section (78) adapted to transmit the data to the transmission destination device.
