Abstract
An image projection device including: an analysis unit configured to compute a functional state of one or more devices included in the image projection device based on sensor information acquired from one or more sensors; a determination unit to determine whether or not maintenance of the devices is necessary based on the functional state of the devices; and a notification control unit to present guidance information that prompts for implementation of maintenance of the devices to a user through a notification unit at a timing when it is determined by the determination unit that maintenance is necessary.
Claims11
An image projection device, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- compute a functional state of one or more devices included in the image projection device based on sensor information acquired from one or more sensors,
- determine whether or not maintenance of any of the devices is necessary based on the computed functional state of the devices, and
- present, to a user, guidance information that prompts for implementation of maintenance of the devices, when the processing circuitry determines that maintenance is necessary,
- wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to
- determine the functional state before implementing maintenance of those devices for which the processing circuitry determines that maintenance is necessary, and determine a predicted functional state that would result if the maintenance is implemented, and
- present, to the user, the determined functional state before implementing maintenance, and the determined predicted functional state that would result if the maintenance is implemented,
- wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to display a first predicted lifetime if the maintenance is not performed, together with a second predicted lifetime if the maintenance is performed.
An information processing method, comprising:
- computing, by processing circuitry, a functional state of one or more devices included in an image projection device based on sensor information acquired from one or more sensors;
- determining, by the processing circuitry, whether or not maintenance of any of the devices is necessary based on the functional state of the devices;
- and
- presenting, by the processing circuitry, guidance information that prompts for implementation of maintenance of the devices to a user when the processing circuitry determines that maintenance is necessary, wherein the method further includes
- determining the functional state before implementing maintenance of those devices for which the processing circuitry determines that maintenance is necessary, and determining a predicted functional state that would result if the maintenance is implemented,
- presenting, to the user, the determined functional state before implementing maintenance, and the determined predicted functional state that would result if the maintenance is implemented, and
- displaying a first predicted lifetime if the maintenance is not performed, together with a second predicted lifetime if the maintenance is performed.
