Rhythm Intensity Control for Online Communication Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing online communication systems fail to effectively synchronize participants' psychological states, such as empathy and unity, leading to suboptimal communication quality and increased psychological stress due to mismatched intentions and individual differences in participation levels.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and system that adjusts the intensity of a shared rhythm among participants based on setting information from both active and passive participants, using a combination of detection devices and stimulus providing devices to tailor the sensory stimulus to each participant's desired level, thereby enhancing synchronization and reducing stress.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a shared rhythm is provided to all participants at a uniform intensity level, then synchronization between participants is facilitated, but individual differences in participation levels and psychological stress are not addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by adjusting the rhythm intensity individually for each participant based on their participation level and psychological state, rather than applying a uniform intensity to all participants. This allows each participant to receive a customized rhythm intensity that suits their individual needs while maintaining overall synchronization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the rhythm intensity adjustable and adaptable in real-time based on detected participation levels and psychological states. The system dynamically modifies the rhythm parameters to optimize both synchronization and individual comfort levels throughout the communication session.
2Reliability
If the rhythm intensity is increased to enhance synchronization effect, then communication quality improves, but psychological stress on sensitive participants increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting the rhythm intensity parameter based on individual participant characteristics and real-time detection of their psychological state. The system modifies this key parameter to achieve optimal communication quality while preventing excessive stress on sensitive participants.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by continuously detecting participants' participation levels and psychological states, then using this information to adjust the rhythm intensity accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that the rhythm intensity remains effective for synchronization while avoiding harmful stress levels.
3Adaptability or versatility
If individual customization of rhythm intensity is implemented, then participant comfort and adaptability improve, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling participants to specify their own desired rhythm intensity levels through setting information input. This reduces the burden on the control system to automatically determine optimal parameters for each participant, simplifying the overall system while maintaining individual customization.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus for causing a rhythm providing device to provide a rhythm to be shared among a plurality of participants participating in an online communication includes circuitry. The circuitry obtains first setting information and second setting information respectively set by a first participant and a second participant of the plurality of participants with respect to a level of intensity of the rhythm to be provided to the second participant. The circuitry adjusts the level of intensity of the rhythm to be provided to the second participant based on the first setting information and the second setting information, and generates intensity information related to the adjusted level of intensity of the rhythm.
