INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355980 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can acquire images and information about the posture or motion of two users. It includes a controller that generates difference information between the posture or motion of the first user and the second user, and notifies the second user of this difference information while controlling a display device to show the image of either user.

  • The apparatus can capture images of users and gather information about their posture or motion.
  • The controller analyzes the acquired data to determine the difference between the posture or motion of the first user and the second user.
  • The controller then notifies the second user about this difference information.
  • The display device is controlled to show either the image of the first user or the image of the second user.

Potential Applications:

  • Fitness and exercise tracking: The apparatus can be used to compare the posture or motion of two users during workouts, providing feedback and motivation.
  • Virtual reality gaming: The technology can enhance multiplayer gaming experiences by allowing users to see and compare their movements in real-time.
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation: The apparatus can assist therapists in monitoring and comparing the progress of patients' movements and postures.

Problems Solved:

  • Lack of real-time feedback: The apparatus provides immediate feedback to users by comparing their posture or motion with another user.
  • Limited self-awareness: Users may not be fully aware of their own posture or motion, but by comparing it with another user, they can gain a better understanding.
  • Motivation and engagement: By notifying the second user of the difference information, the apparatus encourages competition and engagement.

Benefits:

  • Improved performance: Users can identify areas for improvement by comparing their posture or motion with another user.
  • Enhanced user experience: The real-time display of images and difference information adds an interactive and engaging element to various applications.
  • Personalized feedback: The apparatus provides tailored feedback based on the specific differences between users, allowing for targeted improvements.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus includes an interface configured to acquire an image of a first user, information regarding posture or motion of the first user, and information regarding posture or motion of a second user, and a controller configured to generate difference information regarding a difference between the posture or motion of the first user and the posture or motion of the second user. The controller is configured to notify the second user of the difference information while controlling a display device to display the image of the first user or an image of the second user.
