Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing XR controllers, particularly one-hand controllers, face challenges in automatically determining the holding hand at re-holding timing, necessitating user intervention, which hinders their utilization.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that includes a detection unit to detect re-holding actions and a determination unit to automatically determine the holding hand based on these actions, using methods such as image recognition, acceleration sensor data, or gyrosensor data.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If automatic determination of holding hand is implemented, then utilization of one-hand controller is promoted, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary detection unit that mediates between the user's physical action (re-holding) and the system's response (holding hand determination). This intermediary layer automatically detects re-holding actions through sensors and determines the holding hand without requiring direct user input, thereby achieving automation while managing system complexity through specialized detection functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting re-holding actions and determining the holding hand without requiring user notification or specific operations. The detection unit monitors user actions and the determination unit automatically identifies the holding hand based on detected patterns, enabling the system to serve itself in the automatic determination process.
2Measurement precision
If user notification and specific operation are required for re-holding timing, then holding hand determination can be accurate, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects re-holding actions and determines the holding hand without requiring user notification or specific operations. The detection unit monitors user actions and the determination unit automatically identifies the holding hand based on detected patterns, enabling the system to serve itself in the automatic determination process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring user actions through the detection unit and using this information to automatically adjust the holding hand determination. This feedback loop allows the system to accurately identify re-holding actions and determine the holding hand without requiring explicit user input, thereby maintaining accuracy while improving ease of operation.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus capable of promoting utilization of an input device used for operations in the XR. The information processing apparatus includes a memory device that stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to: detect an action of a user to change a holding hand that holds an input device as a re-holding action when the user holds the input device that allows a one-hand operation in cross reality, and determine the holding hand based on the re-holding action detected.
