AI Time Art Device

Abstract

Conventional clock displays with sophisticated designs require the preparation of still image data in advance, and design changes are limited to a fixed pattern, making them unsuitable for real-time display. Furthermore, using cloud AI incurs communication delays and data transfer costs, making them unsuitable for real-time time display. [Solution] This invention uses an interactive device equipped with edge AI to generate and display highly designed time displays in real time. The AI ​​receives the user's voice instructions and environmental information (time of day, weather, etc.) and instantly generates the optimal design. In addition to still images, it is possible to create dynamic expressions by combining animations and sound effects. Since it operates offline without going through the cloud and there are no communication delays, it is possible to flexibly change the design while ensuring real-time performance.

Description

[Background technology]

[0001] A conventional method for improving the design of clock displays involves preparing a large number of still image data in advance and switching between them in sync with the time. However, this method has the following problems: (1) The burden of preparing a large amount of still image data in advance (2) It can only be expressed within a fixed pattern, making it difficult to flexibly change the design. (3) It depends on the program call method, making it difficult to change in real time. In recent years, advances in AI technology have made it possible to automatically generate images and videos. However, using cloud AI incurs data transfer costs and communication delays, making it unsuitable for clock displays, which require real-time performance. Detailed Description of the Invention

[0002] This invention relates to a technology that utilizes edge AI to generate and display time display content with enhanced design in real time, and is particularly applicable to interactive devices such as smart panels, smart displays, smart mirrors, and smart frames. An embodiment of the invention will now be described. The clock display-enabled interactive device according to this embodiment is characterized by having built-in or equipped with edge AI, and generating and displaying highly designed time display content in real time. The interactive device according to this embodiment has the following configuration. (1) Built-in or equipped with edge AI The device has a built-in AI module that can generate time display content in real time in a local environment without going through the cloud. Image generation AI (GAN, VAE, Diffusion Models, etc.) and style transfer AI (Neural Style Transfer, Transformer-based Style Transfer) can be applied as AI models. (2) Design changes according to user requests and the environment It acquires inputs such as user voice commands, touch operations, calendar information, time zones, and weather, analyzes the acquired data, and generates highly designed time display content in real time accordingly. (3) Dynamic design expression It is possible to combine not only still images but also dynamic animations, sound effects, background changes, etc. For example, if you instruct it to "display the time in a musical atmosphere," it will generate an animation in which the time bounces in time with the rhythm. (4) Real-time and offline operation By completing AI processing within the device, communication delays of cloud AI are avoided and real-time processing is achieved. As no internet connection is required, it can be used in offline environments. According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) No prior data preparation required There is no need to prepare a large number of still images or videos in advance. AI generates the optimal design on the spot based on the user's instructions and the situation. (2) Increased design flexibility Rather than relying on pre-set patterns, the watch allows for a personalized time display that is different for each user. For example, it can dynamically display the time according to the scene, such as a "calm atmosphere" or a "poppy and bright atmosphere." (3) Improved interactivity Intuitive operation is possible using voice commands and gesture input. It can also be customized to suit the time of day and environment, such as "displaying in soft, warm light at night." (4) Ensuring real-time performance No cloud communication is required, so there is no delay, ensuring smooth operation at all times. Low-cost operation (no communication costs, etc.). A specific example of this embodiment will be described below. (1) Changing dynamic expressions according to user instructions When a user voice-inputs into the device, "Display the time in a fantastical atmosphere," the AI ​​generates content in real time that displays the time against a faintly shimmering, misty background. (2) Automatic change according to the time of day At night, the display brightness is reduced and the time is displayed in a soft, warm light. In the morning, the display gradually brightens, transitioning to a more energetic design. (3) Music-linked time display The device analyzes the beat of the music being played and changes the font and layout of the time display accordingly: for example, if jazz is playing, it will be displayed in a flowing cursive style, while if rock is playing, it will be displayed with dynamic effects. The technology according to this embodiment can be applied to a variety of interactive devices, such as smart mirrors, smart frames, smart watches, digital signage, in-vehicle displays, etc. In particular, the customizable clock display technology using AI is expected to be applied in fields such as smart mirrors for luxury interiors, store displays, and personal assistant devices.
