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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18461437 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that allows a user to interact with an application using a mobile terminal or a virtual user interface displayed on a head-mounted display device.

  • The apparatus generates an image for display on a head-mounted device.
  • It determines the operation mode of an application based on user input.
  • User input can be accepted from a mobile terminal held by the user.
  • The application operation can be performed either by directly operating the mobile terminal or by using a virtual user interface displayed on the head-mounted device.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Virtual reality gaming
  • Augmented reality applications
  • Remote control of devices using a head-mounted display

Problems Solved

  • Providing a hands-free interface for interacting with applications
  • Enhancing user experience in virtual and augmented reality environments
  • Allowing for remote control of devices without physical touch

Benefits

  • Improved user convenience and mobility
  • Enhanced user immersion in virtual environments
  • Increased accessibility for individuals with physical limitations


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus generates an image to be displayed on a display device that is mountable to a head of a user, decides an operation mode of an application, and accepts an input operation from a mobile terminal that the user is capable of holding and operating, and perform an application operation on the basis of the operation mode and the input operation. The information processing apparatus decides at least one of a first operation mode, in which the application operation is performed by the user operating the mobile terminal, and a second operation mode, in which a virtual user interface (UI) relating to an operation is displayed on the display device and the application operation is performed by the user operating the virtual UI, as the operation mode.
