Projection Control Unit for Continuous Object Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display control techniques face difficulties in recognizing and displaying information when the situation of an object changes, such as when objects are adjacent or when provided recognition items are detached, making it challenging to continuously identify and display information corresponding to the object's state changes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that projects visual information onto a projection surface based on recognition results of both a first object and a second object, allowing continuous identification and display even when the objects' states change, using a combination of camera, depth sensor, and projection control unit to accurately position and update visual content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If display control is performed based on recognition results of objects, then information can be displayed corresponding to recognized objects, but it becomes difficult to continuously identify and display information when objects are adjacent or when provided recognition items are detached
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the recognition task into multiple independent recognition units. Instead of relying on a single recognition result, the system performs recognition on multiple separate objects (first object and second object) and combines these segmented recognition results to identify the content, thereby maintaining continuous identification capability even when individual objects are adjacent or detached
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a recognition result combination unit that acts as an intermediary. This unit combines recognition results from multiple objects to identify the content, serving as a mediator between the individual recognition results and the final content identification, enabling reliable continuous identification despite challenging object arrangements
2Adaptability or versatility
If only a single object is recognized to identify content, then the system is simple, but it cannot handle situations where objects are adjacent or provided items are detached
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the recognition system universal by enabling it to handle multiple object arrangements and states. The system can recognize content whether objects are adjacent, detached, or in various other configurations, making the recognition system adaptable to different situations without requiring separate handling mechanisms for each case
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple recognition results into a unified content identification. By combining the recognition results of the first object and the second object, the system achieves versatile content identification that works across different object states and arrangements, enhancing adaptability while managing complexity through integration

AI summary
There is provided an information processing apparatus including a projection control unit (150) that causes visual information to be projected onto a projection surface. The visual information corresponds to content that is provided to the projection surface and disposed on a first object. The content is identified on the basis of a recognition result of the first object and a recognition result of a second object. The second object is provided along with the first object.
