Real-Time Control Setting Updates via Portable Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face frustration when trying to change control settings during gameplay, as current methods require navigating through multiple menus and pausing the game, making it cumbersome and difficult to achieve desired changes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that allows updating control settings during software execution via input instructions received on a portable electronic device, eliminating the need to pause the game and navigate through menus, by using a storage unit to store control settings and an updating unit that modifies these settings in real-time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If control settings are updated during software execution via portable electronic device, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A portable electronic device serves as an intermediary between the user and the information processing system. The device receives control setting update instructions from the user and transmits them to the information processing system, which then applies the updates during software execution without requiring direct user interaction with the main system's interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The portable electronic device performs multiple functions: it acts as a user interface for receiving control setting updates, communicates with the information processing system via wireless transmission, and enables real-time setting changes during software execution. This multi-functionality simplifies the overall system architecture by consolidating multiple components into a single portable device.
2Productivity
If control settings are updated during software execution, then productivity is improved, but reliability may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The control setting update instructions are prepared and transmitted to the information processing system before the actual software execution begins. The system stores these instructions and applies them at the appropriate time during execution, ensuring that the software can adapt settings without interrupting the overall execution flow or compromising stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts control settings during software execution based on user instructions received via the portable electronic device. The settings are updated in real-time without requiring the software to pause or restart, allowing the system to adapt to changing user needs while maintaining continuous execution and reliability.
