INFORMATON PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240281999 titled 'INFORMATON PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that corrects the positions of joints in a person's skeleton data obtained from a training moving image to match the joints of a different person.

• Acquires a training moving image of a person performing an action
• Generates training skeleton data indicating joint positions in the person over time
• Corrects the training skeleton data to match the joint distances of a different person

Key Features and Innovation

• Interface acquires training moving image of a person
• Processor generates training skeleton data from the image
• Corrects the skeleton data to match a different person's joint distances

Potential Applications

• Virtual reality training programs
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises
• Sports performance analysis

Problems Solved

• Ensures accurate joint position data for different individuals
• Improves the effectiveness of training programs
• Enhances motion capture technology

Benefits

• Personalized training programs
• More accurate joint tracking
• Improved performance analysis

Commercial Applications

• "Enhanced Motion Capture Technology for Personalized Training Programs"

Questions about the Technology

Original Abstract Submitted

an information processing apparatus includes an interface configured to acquire a training moving image obtained by photographing a first person performing an action, and a processor configured to generate training skeleton data indicating positions of joints in the first person in time series from the training moving image and to correct the training skeleton data such that a distance between joints in the training skeleton data matches a distance between joints in a second person different from the first person.
