Virtual Remote Controller Image Recognition Association
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for displaying a virtual remote controller on a screen require manual association of operation signals with virtual operation devices, which can lead to mismatches between the actual operation device on the remote controller and the associated virtual device, especially when data like the remote controller's model number is unavailable.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that captures images of the remote controller and associates the operated operation device with the operation signal transmitted from the remote controller, using image recognition and communication with external devices to ensure accurate matching without manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual association of operation signals with virtual operation devices is used, then the system can be operated, but the association accuracy deteriorates and mismatches occur between actual and virtual operation devices
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically captures images of the remote controller, recognizes operation devices through image processing, and associates them with operation signals without requiring manual data entry. The remote controller itself provides the visual information needed for accurate association through its captured image.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of associating operation signals with virtual devices is replaced by an optical recognition system. The system uses image capture and processing to automatically identify and associate operation devices, substituting manual operations with automated visual recognition.
2Productivity
If manual association is required, then the system structure remains simple, but the productivity deteriorates due to time-consuming manual data entry
Solution Approach 1:
The manual association process is replaced by an automated image recognition system that captures images of the remote controller, processes them to identify operation devices, and automatically associates them with operation signals, dramatically improving association speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a visual copy of the remote controller through image capture and uses this copy for automatic recognition and association. This optical copy enables the system to identify operation devices without physical manual intervention.
3Reliability
If manual association is used, then the system is easy to operate, but the reliability deteriorates when remote controller model number data is unavailable
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces reliance on model number data with optical recognition. By capturing and processing images of the remote controller, the system can identify operation devices based on visual characteristics rather than requiring pre-stored model information, enabling it to handle unknown or custom remote controllers.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the identification parameter from model number data to visual image data. This parameter change allows the system to recognize and associate operation devices based on the actual appearance of the remote controller rather than relying on database lookups by model number.
