Sensory Data Conversion for Perceiving Extended Five-Sense Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing manipulation systems replicate only information perceivable by human senses, lacking the ability to convey unperceivable information, which can limit work efficiency and presence.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that receives and converts extended five-sense information, combining it with perceivable five-sense information to enable perception of unperceivable data, using a detection information reception unit, conversion unit, and representation information transmission unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If only five-sense information is replicated for remote manipulation, then the system remains simple and easy to operate, but information unperceivable by human senses is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information processing device as an intermediary between the apparatus and the user. This device receives both five-sense information and extended five-sense information from the apparatus, converts the extended information into perceivable forms, and transmits the combined data to the user. The intermediary handles the complexity of information conversion and integration, allowing the system to preserve complete information while maintaining ease of operation for the user.
2Loss of information
If extended five-sense information is converted and combined with five-sense information, then the user can perceive unperceivable information, but the information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing device segments the information handling into distinct functional units: a reception unit that receives both five-sense and extended five-sense information separately, a conversion unit that processes extended information independently, a combination unit that integrates the converted data with original five-sense information, and a transmission unit that sends the combined data. This segmentation allows each unit to perform its specific function with optimized complexity, rather than requiring a single complex system to handle all information processing tasks simultaneously.
3Productivity
If only perceivable information is transmitted to the user, then the transmission system remains simple, but work efficiency and sense of presence are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by transforming extended five-sense information (which has parameters outside human perception ranges) into converted five-sense data with parameters within human perception ranges. The conversion unit modifies the physical or chemical parameters of the information, such as converting infrared radiation into visible light wavelengths or converting ultrasonic vibrations into audible sound frequencies, thereby enabling the user to perceive previously unperceivable information and improve work efficiency and sense of presence.

AI summary
An information processing device according to the present disclosure includes a detection information reception unit that receives five-sense information, which is perceivable by at least one of five senses of human, and extended five-sense information, which is information difficult to be perceived by the five senses of human; a visual data conversion unit that converts the extended five-sense information into converted five-sense data, which represents information perceivable by at least one of the five senses of human; a visual data combining unit that combines a piece of the converted five-sense data with a piece of the five-sense information; and a representation information transmission unit that transmits combined data, which is a result of combining, to a representation device that transfers the combined data to the user to enable the user to perceive the combined data.
