Information Processor Viewer Recognition Error Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional video output devices struggle to output content appropriate for viewers due to recognition errors in feature recognition, such as age and gender, leading to undesirable situations where inappropriate content is displayed.
Innovation Solution
An information processor with a recognition section for identifying viewer features, an acquisition section for measuring recognition errors, and a determination section that adjusts content output based on these errors to ensure appropriateness, utilizing a digital signage device with a projector, storage units for programs and data, and an image pickup unit for capturing viewer images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If face recognition is used to identify viewer features, then content can be tailored to the viewer, but recognition errors cause inappropriate content to be displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-calculates and stores recognition error ranges for different viewer categories before actual content selection occurs. When a viewer's features are recognized, the system retrieves the pre-stored error range and uses it to adjust the content selection criteria in advance, ensuring that even if recognition errors occur, the selected content remains appropriate for the actual viewer demographic.
2Productivity
If content is selected based on recognized viewer features, then viewer engagement improves, but recognition errors lead to undesirable situations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors the difference between recognized viewer features and actual viewer demographics. This feedback is used to adjust the recognition error ranges and refine content selection over time, ensuring that viewer engagement is maintained while minimizing the impact of recognition errors on content appropriateness.

AI summary
An information processor includes a recognition section that recognizes a feature of a viewer of content, an acquisition section that acquires a recognition error that occurs when the feature of the viewer is recognized by the recognition section, and a determination section that determines content to be output, on the basis of the acquired recognition error.
