Abstract

There is provided an information processing device including: a processing unit configured to perform a process of generating preparation information on the basis of first output information regarding a first target acquired from a sensor that senses a predetermined range of an actual space and second output information regarding a second target acquired from a device carried by a user. The preparation information is used to generate operation information on the basis of third output information acquired from the sensor.

First claim

1 . An information processing device comprising:
a processing unit configured to perform a process of generating preparation information on the basis of first output information regarding a first target acquired from a sensor that senses a predetermined range of an actual space and second output information regarding a second target acquired from a device carried by a user, wherein the preparation information is used to generate operation information on the basis of third output information acquired from the sensor.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the preparation information is information for controlling association of the sensor with a predetermined coordinate system.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the preparation information is information used for a process of converting target position information gained on the basis of the third output information into coordinate values in the predetermined coordinate system.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first and second targets are related targets.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the second target moves in accordance with a motion of the first target.

6 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the process of generating the preparation information is a process of correcting the preparation information.

7 . The information processing device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the processing unit corrects the preparation information on the basis of a detection result of the first target based on the first output information and a detection result of the second target based on the second output information.

8 . The information processing device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the processing unit compares motion information of the first target which is the detection result of the first target to motion information of the second target which is the detection result of the second target and corrects the preparation information on the basis of a motion comparison result.

9 . The information processing device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the correction of the preparation information based on the motion comparison result is correction of a positional deviation in a position of the first target based on the first output information.

10 . The information processing device according to claim 9 ,
wherein the correction of the preparation information based on the motion comparison result further includes correcting a temporal deviation between a time corresponding to the motion information of the first target and a time corresponding to the motion information of the second target.

11 . The information processing device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the processing unit compares spatial coordinates corresponding to the first target which are the detection result of the first target to spatial coordinates corresponding to the second target which are the detection result of the second target and corrects the preparation information on the basis of a comparison result of the spatial coordinates.

12 . The information processing device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the processing unit records a correction parameter related to the correction of the preparation information based on the comparison result of the spatial coordinates in association with identification information indicating the user of the carried device.

13 . The information processing device according to claim 12 ,
wherein, in a case where the identification information is acquired, the processing unit corrects the preparation information using the correction parameter associated with the acquired identification information.

14 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processing unit aperiodically performs the process of generating the preparation information.

15 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processing unit performs the process of generating the preparation information when a predetermined action of the user is detected.

16 . The information processing device according to claim 15 ,
wherein, in a case where the new sensor is detected or in a case where movement of a position of the existing sensor is detected, the processing unit controls notification for performing the predetermined action.

17 . The information processing device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the first and second targets are hands or arms.

18 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the carried device is a device worn on a hand or an arm.

19 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sensor is an image sensor.

20 . An information processing method performed by an information processing device, the method comprising:
a step of performing a process of generating preparation information on the basis of first output information regarding a first target acquired from a sensor that senses a predetermined range of an actual space and second output information regarding a second target acquired from a device carried by a user, wherein the preparation information is used to generate operation information on the basis of third output information acquired from the sensor.

21 . A program causing a computer to perform:
a step of performing a process of generating preparation information on the basis of first output information regarding a first target acquired from a sensor that senses a predetermined range of an actual space and second output information regarding a second target acquired from a device carried by a user, wherein the preparation information is used to generate operation information on the basis of third output information acquired from the sensor.
