INFORMATON PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18569338 titled 'INFORMATON PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
The abstract describes an information processing apparatus that acquires a training moving image of a first person performing an action and generates training skeleton data indicating joint positions in the first person over time. The processor corrects the training skeleton data to match the joint distances of a second person.
- Interface acquires training moving image of first person
- Processor generates training skeleton data indicating joint positions
- Corrects training skeleton data to match joint distances of second person
- Focus on aligning joint distances between different individuals
- Utilizes images to create accurate training data
Potential Applications: - Fitness training programs - Physical therapy exercises - Sports coaching and analysis - Virtual reality simulations - Biomechanics research

Commercial Applications: Title: "Personalized Training Apparatus for Enhanced Performance" This technology can be used in fitness centers, rehabilitation clinics, sports training facilities, virtual reality development, and research institutions. It can cater to individuals seeking personalized training programs and organizations looking to enhance performance analysis and research.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of joint position data compared to traditional methods? - The technology uses training moving images to generate precise training skeleton data, ensuring accurate joint positions over time. 2. What are the potential limitations of using this technology in different environments or with various body types? - The technology may face challenges in accurately matching joint distances between individuals with significantly different body shapes or sizes.
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.
