Unified Operation System for Display Region Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of using two different operation systems for designating a display region and interacting with objects within it leads to degraded user operability, as users must navigate distinct systems for positioning and object manipulation.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that switches between a display control mode for adjusting the position or shape of a display region and an execution mode for processing within that region based on whether a pointed position falls within a determination region, allowing for unified operation through a single system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If two different operation systems are used for designating display region and interacting with objects, then functional completeness is improved, but user operability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges two separate operation systems into a unified operation system. The single operation system includes a display region designation unit for designating display regions and an object operation unit for operating objects within those regions. This consolidation allows users to perform both display region designation and object interaction through one integrated system, improving ease of operation while maintaining functional completeness.
2Measurement precision
If separate operation systems are used for display region control and object interaction, then operational specificity is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines separate operation systems into a single integrated operation system that handles both display region designation and object interaction. This reduces system complexity by eliminating the need for multiple separate systems while maintaining operational specificity through dedicated functional units within the unified system.
Solution Approach 2:
Within the unified operation system, the patent segments functionality into distinct units: a display region designation unit for designating display regions and an object operation unit for interacting with objects. This segmentation maintains operational specificity for each function while keeping the overall system structure simple and manageable.

AI summary
Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a processing unit configured to perform switching processing on a basis of a determination result as to whether or not a determination region determined on a basis of a display region which becomes a target of operation of one operation system includes a pointed position pointed in response to the operation, the switching processing being processing of switching between a display control mode for changing a position or a shape of the display region on a basis of the operation and an execution mode for executing processing corresponding to a display object within the display region on a basis of the operation, in which the display region indicates a unit when the position or the shape of the display region is changed in the display control mode.
