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 generate preparation information on the basis of first output information regarding a first target acquired from a first sensor that senses a first predetermined range of an actual space, second output information regarding a first target acquired from a second sensor that senses a second predetermined range of the actual space, and third output information regarding a second target acquired from a device carried by a user, wherein the processing unit generates the preparation information when a same movement vector of the first target is detected on the basis of the first output information and the second output information, and wherein the preparation information is used to generate operation information on the basis of the first output information and the second output information.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processing unit generates the preparation information in accordance with establishing a communication with the second sensor.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processing unit generates the preparation information in accordance with a change of a disposition of the second sensor.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processing unit generates the preparation information when a reliability of the second sensor is equal to or less than a set threshold

5 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processing unit generates the preparation information when a reliability of the second sensor is less than a set threshold

6 . The information processing device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the reliability of the second sensor is set based on an elapsed time from an association with a predetermined coordinate system.

7 . The information processing device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the reliability of the second sensor is set based on a period in which a predetermined action is taken by a user.

8 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processing unit ends to generate preparation information when the same movement vector is not detected.

9 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first sensor is associated with a predetermined coordinate system.

10 . The information processing device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the processing unit associates the second sensor with a predetermined coordinate system on the basis of the first output information and the second output information.

11 . The information processing device according to claim 9 ,
wherein the processing unit associates the second sensor with the predetermined coordinate system by generating conversion information for matching absolute spatial coordinates based on the first output information of a reference sensor to the absolute spatial coordinates based on the second output information of the target sensor to generate the preparation information.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

19 . 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 first sensor that senses a first predetermined range of an actual space, second output information regarding a first target acquired from a second sensor that senses a second predetermined range of the actual space, and third output information regarding a second target acquired from a device carried by a user, wherein the preparation information is generated when a same movement vector of the first target is detected on the basis of the first output information and the second output information, and wherein the preparation information is used to generate operation information on the basis of the first output information and the second output information.

20 . 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 first sensor that senses a first predetermined range of an actual space, second output information regarding a first target acquired from a second sensor that senses a second predetermined range of the actual space, and third output information regarding a second target acquired from a device carried by a user, wherein the preparation information is generated when a same movement vector of the first target is detected on the basis of the first output information and the second output information, wherein the preparation information is used to generate operation information on the basis of the first output information and the second output information.
