INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464340 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing device that generates data to be displayed on a head-mounted display based on detecting gestures by the user's hands.

  • Detection unit detects gestures by the user's first hand.
  • Processing unit switches to a different operation mode when a specific gesture is detected, executing different processing in response to hand gestures.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as virtual reality gaming, augmented reality applications, and hands-free control systems.

Problems Solved

This technology allows for more intuitive and efficient interaction with information processing devices, eliminating the need for physical controllers or touchscreens.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved user experience, increased convenience, and enhanced control over information processing devices.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include gaming consoles, smart glasses, virtual reality headsets, and industrial control systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be gesture recognition systems used in gaming consoles or virtual reality devices.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device differentiate between different gestures and commands?

The device likely uses a combination of sensors and algorithms to analyze the movements of the user's hands and interpret them as specific gestures or commands.

What are the limitations of the technology in terms of detecting gestures accurately?

The technology may face challenges in accurately detecting gestures in complex or noisy environments, which could affect the overall user experience and performance of the device.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing device that generates data to be displayed on a head-mounted display. The information processing device includes: a detection unit that detects a gesture by a first hand of a user; and a processing unit that switches, in a case where a specific gesture by the first hand is detected by the detection unit in a first operation mode in which first processing is executed in response to a first operation by a second hand of the user, to a second operation mode in which second processing different from the first processing is executed in response to the first operation by the second hand.
