INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18282408 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that automatically recognizes an allowed region for positioning a target object in a three-dimensional space, eliminating the need to designate the allowed region manually each time.
- The sorting section of the apparatus sorts multiple planes representing an object in three-dimensional space into base and obstacle planes.
- The region identifying section calculates base and obstacle regions based on the sorted planes.
- The allowed region determining section then calculates the allowed region for positioning the target object based on the base and obstacle regions.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various fields such as virtual reality, augmented reality, robotics, and industrial automation where precise positioning of objects in a three-dimensional space is required.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of manually designating allowed regions for positioning objects in a three-dimensional space, saving time and effort in the process.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include increased efficiency, accuracy, and automation in determining allowed regions for object positioning in three-dimensional space.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include software development for virtual reality simulations, robotic systems for automated manufacturing processes, and spatial planning tools for architectural design.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art in this field is a patent for a similar information processing apparatus that sorts and identifies regions in a three-dimensional space, but does not specifically focus on automatically determining allowed regions for object positioning.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle dynamic changes in the three-dimensional space?
The patent application does not provide information on how the apparatus adapts to dynamic changes in the three-dimensional space, such as moving obstacles or shifting base planes.
What is the computational complexity of the allowed region determining process?
The patent application does not discuss the computational complexity of the process used to calculate the allowed region for positioning the target object in the three-dimensional space.
Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided an information processing apparatus and resources for automatically recognizing an allowed region in order to eliminate time and effort required every time the allowed region is to be designated. The information processing apparatus includes a sorting section, a region identifying section, and an allowed region determining section. The sorting section sorts multiple planes included in space information representing an object existing in a three-dimensional space by use of the multiple planes, into at least a plane corresponding to a base and a plane corresponding to an obstacle. The region identifying section calculates a base region pertaining to the plane corresponding to the base and an obstacle region pertaining to the plane corresponding to the obstacle. The allowed region determining section calculates, on the basis of the base region and the obstacle region, an allowed region in which a target object existing in the three-dimensional space is allowed to be positioned.
