Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing VR systems face challenges in maintaining an optimal communication channel due to blocking obstacles, leading to transmission errors and user experience deterioration, as they often select suboptimal communication channels.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that detects blocking of communication channels, calculates the necessary movement to escape the blockage, and updates position posture information to guide the user to an optimal communication path, ensuring a straight-line connection between the console and HMD through redirection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a straight-line communication channel is selected between transmitter and receiver, then transmission quality is improved, but blocking by obstacles causes the channel to become suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of blocking obstacles using camera information before communication occurs. By detecting the position of blocking objects in advance and calculating the required movement amount to escape blocking, the system can proactively adjust the receiver's position to maintain an optimal straight-line communication channel, preventing transmission quality deterioration before it happens.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the communication environment using camera data and provides feedback on blocking conditions. Based on this feedback, the system calculates the necessary movement to maintain line-of-sight connectivity and guides the user to adjust their position, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains optimal transmission quality through continuous adaptation.
2Reliability
If the receiver position is adjusted to escape blocking, then communication channel optimality is improved, but user awareness and control are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs the complex tasks of detecting blocking obstacles, calculating optimal positions, and guiding users to escape blocking. The camera system and processing unit handle the technical complexity autonomously, while simply presenting the user with directional guidance information. This allows the system to maintain optimal communication channels through automatic adaptation without requiring users to understand or manage the underlying technical processes.

AI summary
There is provided an information processing device that includes a blocking detection unit to detect blocking of a communication channel to a reproduction device which reproduces content on the basis of content data, a movement calculation unit to calculate, in a case where the blocking of the communication channel is detected, an amount of movement of the reproduction device to a position that escapes the blocking, and a control unit to control generation of the content data on the basis of the amount of movement.
