INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18365319 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can switch between two control modes based on user input.
- The first control mode displays a first item on a display region, indicating a position based on inertial information of a controller.
- The second control mode displays a second item on the display region, indicating a position based on a user's operation on a specified operation member in a specific area of the display region.
- If the position indicated by the first item is within a specified area of the display region in the first control mode, the apparatus switches to the second control mode in response to a specified operation.
- Potential Applications:**
- Gaming consoles - Virtual reality systems - Augmented reality devices
- Problems Solved:**
- Providing a seamless transition between different control modes based on user input - Enhancing user experience by offering multiple ways to interact with the information processing apparatus
- Benefits:**
- Improved user control and interaction - Enhanced user experience - Flexibility in controlling the display items on the screen
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus performs control, in a first control mode, so that a first display item is displayed on a display region of a display unit, the first display item indicating a position based on inertial information of a controller. The information processing apparatus performs control, in a second control mode, so that a second display item is displayed on the display region, the second display item indicating a position according to a first operation performed on a specified operation member in a first area of the display region. The information processing apparatus performs, in a case where the position indicated by the first display item is included in a second area of the display region in the first control mode, switching from the first control mode to the second control mode in response to a specified operation.
