[0025] The terms used in this disclosure will be briefly explained, and one embodiment of the present disclosure will be specifically described.

[0026] Throughout this disclosure, unless specifically stated otherwise, "or" is inclusive and not exclusive. Thus, unless explicitly stated otherwise or context dictates otherwise, "A or B" may refer to "A, B, or both."

[0027] In this disclosure, the expression “at least one of a, b or c” may refer to “a”, “b”, “c”, “a and b”, “a and c”, “b and c”, “all of a, b and c”, or variations thereof.

[0028] The terms used in this disclosure are selected from widely used, current terms, taking into account the functions of one embodiment of the disclosure. However, these terms may vary depending on the intentions of those skilled in the art, precedents, the emergence of new technologies, etc. Furthermore, in certain cases, terms may be arbitrarily selected by the applicant, and in such cases, their meanings will be described in detail in the description of the relevant embodiments of the disclosure. Therefore, the terms used in this disclosure should not be defined simply as names of terms, but rather based on the meanings of the terms and the overall content of the disclosure.

[0029] Singular expressions may include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art described herein.

[0035] Below, with reference to the attached drawings, embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present disclosure. However, one embodiment of the present disclosure may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In addition, in the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted to clearly describe one embodiment of the present disclosure, and similar parts are designated with similar drawing reference numerals throughout the present disclosure.

[0036] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0037] FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining the operation of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 1, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device (100) may acquire content (300) including a plurality of objects arranged in a space including a frustum (200). The electronic device (100) may transform the content (300) so that each of the plurality of objects included in the acquired content (300) is positioned within the frustum (200), thereby acquiring corrected content (400).

[0039] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device (100) may be implemented as an electronic device of various shapes, such as a desktop, a set-top box, or a server device. The electronic device (100) may receive content (300) from an external electronic device (e.g., an image generating device) connected through an input / output interface, and provide the acquired corrected content (400) to an external electronic device (e.g., an image display device). In addition, the electronic device (100) may receive content (300) from an external electronic device or an external server through a communication interface, and provide the acquired corrected content (400) to the external electronic device or the external server.

[0040] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and content (300) may be generated through an electronic device (100), and the electronic device (100) may convert the generated content (300) to obtain corrected content (400).

[0041] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, content (300) may be three-dimensional content that includes multiple objects and can provide a three-dimensional effect to a user receiving the content. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, content (300) may be content produced to be used on a video display device. Hereinafter, content (300) may also be referred to as three-dimensional content.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the video display device may be an electronic device including a display that provides a user with different images corresponding to each of a plurality of views, depending on the position of the user viewing the image. In this case, a "view" may correspond to a position where the user can view different sides of an object included in the image provided through the video display device.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the image display device may include a light field display device. The image display device may display a three-dimensional image including depth information and provide the image to a user viewing the image.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the image display device may provide the image generation device with information, such as a Software Development Kit (SDK), that can be used to generate content (300) that can be used in the image display device. The SDK may include spatial guide information regarding a space in which a three-dimensional image including depth information can be displayed through the image display device.

[0045] In addition, the software development kit may include information about the position of the "camera (500)" looking at the content (300), the "view-direction (510)" in which the camera looks at the content (300), and the frustum (200). At this time, the "frustum" may refer to a space rendered by an image providing device. The frustum (200) may refer to a space in which the content (300) is rendered and displayed in the view-direction (510) of the camera based on the camera (500) in the image providing device. An object placed in an area adjacent to the camera (500) in the frustum (200) may be displayed as being located close to a user in the image display device. An object placed in an area far from the camera (500) in the frustum (200) may be displayed as being located far from a user in the image display device.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the image generation device may be an electronic device that generates content (300) to be displayed on the image display device based on a software development kit obtained from the image display device. Specifically, the image generation device may include a desktop, a set-top box, or a server device. The image generation device may provide an application, program, or web page capable of generating content (300) to a user using the image generation device. The user may generate content (300) by providing an input for generating content (300) to the image generation device (100).

[0047] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a user may set the position of a camera (500), the view direction (510) of the camera (500), or the frustum (200) as desired through the image generation device (100). At this time, the user may set the size, shape, or position of the frustum (200) based on the acquired spatial guide information.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, content (300) may be generated to include a plurality of objects. The size, shape, position, etc. of the plurality of objects included in the content (300) may be generated by considering the position of the set camera (500), the “view direction (510)” in which the camera views the content (300), and the frustum (200).

[0049] At this time, among the multiple objects included in the content (300), at least one object that is not located within the frustum (200) may be culled or clipped when rendered by the video display device. Accordingly, content different from the intention of the user who created the content (300) by the video generation device may be implemented on the video display device and provided to the user viewing the video.

[0050] Accordingly, the electronic device (100) of the present disclosure can obtain camera information including information about a frustum (200) from an image generating device. At this time, the camera information may include information about a camera (500) viewing content (300) and a view direction (510) of the camera (500).

[0051] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device (100) can determine whether each of a plurality of objects included in the content (300) is located inside a frustum (200), and can obtain corrected content (400) by transforming at least one object so that at least one object located outside the frustum (200) among the plurality of objects is located inside the frustum (200).

[0052] Specifically, the frustum (200) may include a near-plane (210) and a far-plane (220), each perpendicular to the view direction (510). The near-plane may be a plane closer to the camera (500) than the far-plane. The electronic device (100) may acquire corrected content (400) by reducing the size of content (300) and moving the reduced content to be located within the frustum (200).

[0053] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device (100) may reduce the size of the content (300) so that a first object (310) located in the space between the near-plane (210) and the camera (500) among a plurality of objects is located in the space between the near-plane (210) and the far-plane (220), and then move the content (300) in the view direction (510). Accordingly, the first reduced object (410), which is the reduced first object (310), may be moved in the view direction (510) and positioned in the space between the near-plane (210) and the far-plane (220).

[0054] In addition, the second object (320) and the third object (330) located in the space between the near-plane (210) and the far-plane (220) among the plurality of objects, and the second reduced object (420) and the third reduced object (430) can also be moved together in the view-direction (510).

[0055] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the electronic device (100) may filter out objects among a plurality of objects that are far from the frustum (200) and thus difficult to transform to be located inside the frustum (200).

[0056] In addition, among the multiple objects included in the content (300), at least one object located inside the frustum (200) set by considering the spatial guide information in the software development kit provided by the video display device may cause crosstalk in which multiple images corresponding to multiple views overlap due to the nature of the video display device that provides different images to the user in each of the multiple views depending on the position of the user viewing the image. Therefore, a clear image cannot be provided to the user viewing the image.

[0057] In particular, such crosstalk may occur in an object located in the space between the effective plane (230) and the near plane (210), which are preset as planes on which content (300) is optimally displayed in a video display device. In this case, the effective plane may be a plane calculated in advance based on characteristics such as the resolution and size of the display included in the video display device.

[0058] Accordingly, the electronic device (100) of the present disclosure can obtain the correction content (400) by transforming at least one object located in the space between the near-plane (210) and the effective-plane (230) among a plurality of objects so that the at least one object is located in the space between the effective-plane (230) and the near-plane (220) when the near-plane (210) is closer to the camera (500) than the effective-plane (230).

[0059] Specifically, the frustum (200) may include an effective plane (230) perpendicular to the view direction (510). The electronic device (100) may obtain the corrected content (400) by reducing the size of the content (300) and moving the reduced content to be positioned in the space between the effective plane (230) and the original plane (220).

[0060] In addition, even if the content (300) is created so that multiple objects are placed inside the frustum (200), crosstalk may occur in which multiple images corresponding to multiple views overlap in at least one object included in the outline area of ​​the display included in the video display device due to the characteristics of the video display device.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frustum (200) may include a top-plane, a bottom plane, a left-plane, and a right-plane.

[0062] At this time, the area composed of the upper plane, lower plane, left plane, and right plane may be referred to as the active area. The active area may include an effective area and an outline area surrounding the effective area. The ratio of the effective area and the outline area within the active area may be predetermined depending on the type, resolution, size, etc. of the display included in the video display device.

[0063] The electronic device (100) of the present disclosure can obtain correction content (400) by transforming at least one object located in a border area among a plurality of objects so that at least one object is located within a valid area.

[0064] Specifically, the electronic device (100) can obtain the corrected content (400) by reducing the size of the content (300) and moving the reduced content to be positioned within the effective area.

[0065] In addition, if a text type object is included among the multiple objects included in the content (300), crosstalk may occur in which multiple images corresponding to multiple views overlap with the object due to the nature of the text composed of a combination of thin lines.

[0066] The electronic device (100) of the present disclosure can obtain corrected content (400) by transforming at least one object of a text type among a plurality of objects so that the object is located in a zero-plane including depth information of “0” among a frustum (200).

[0067] Specifically, the electronic device (100) can adjust the size of at least one object and move the adjusted at least one object to be positioned on the zero plane to obtain the correction content (400).

[0068] Accordingly, when the corrected content (400) obtained by the electronic device (100) of the present disclosure is rendered on a video display device, at least one object may not be culled or clipped. Accordingly, an image that sufficiently reflects the intention of the user who created the content (300) can be provided to a user using the video display device.

[0069] Additionally, when the correction content (400) obtained by the electronic device (100) of the present disclosure is rendered on a video display device, crosstalk can be prevented from occurring in at least one object. Accordingly, a clear image can be provided to a user viewing the image.

[0070] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The electronic device (100) may be an electronic device including a display. The electronic device (100) may be implemented as electronic devices of various shapes, such as a television, a mobile device, a smart phone, a laptop computer, a desktop, a tablet PC, a digital signage, a projector, and a wearable device. The operations of the image generation device and the image display device described above may both be performed through the electronic device (100). The electronic device (100) may also display the corrected content (400) obtained by converting the generated content (300) through the display.

[0071] FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0107] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0108] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of operating an electronic device (100) may include a step (S100) of acquiring camera information including information about a frustum (200).

[0109] In step S100, the electronic device (100) can obtain camera information including information about the frustum (200) from an external electronic device through an input / output interface (130). The electronic device (100) can also obtain camera information including information about the frustum (200) from an external electronic device or an external server through a communication interface (140).

[0110] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of operating an electronic device (100) may include a step (S200) of obtaining three-dimensional content (300) including a plurality of objects arranged in a space including a frustum (200).

[0111] In step (S200), the electronic device (100) can obtain content (300) including a plurality of objects arranged in a space including a frustum (200) from an external electronic device through an input / output interface (130). The electronic device (100) can also obtain content (300) from an external electronic device or an external server through a communication interface (140).

[0112] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the electronic device (100) may include a step (S300) of determining whether each of a plurality of objects is located inside the frustum (200) based on the frustum (200) and the three-dimensional content (300).

[0113] In step S300, at least one processor (120) executes commands or program codes of a position determination module (111), so that the electronic device (100) can determine whether each of a plurality of objects is located inside the frustum (200) based on the frustum (200) and the three-dimensional content (300).

[0114] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the electronic device (100) may include a step (S400) of obtaining correction content (400) by transforming at least one object located outside a frustum (200) among a plurality of objects so that the at least one object is located inside the frustum (200).

[0115] In step S400, at least one processor (120) executes commands or program codes of an object transformation module (114), so that the electronic device (100) can obtain the correction content (400) by transforming at least one object located outside the frustum (200) among a plurality of objects to be located inside the frustum (200).

[0116] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S400 may be performed when it is determined in step S300 that each of the plurality of objects is not located inside the frustum (200). That is, step S400 may be performed when it is determined in step S300 that at least one object among the plurality of objects is not located inside the frustum (200).

[0117] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S400 may not be performed because it is determined in step S300 that all of the plurality of objects are located inside the frustum (200). However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the operating method of the electronic device (100) may, of course, perform at least one of steps S500, S700, or S800 described below even if it is determined in step S300 that all of the plurality of objects are located inside the frustum (200).

[0118] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation for determining whether each of a plurality of objects is located within a frustum according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Hereinafter, steps identical to those described in FIG. 3 are assigned the same reference numerals, and any redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0119] Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step (S300) of determining whether each of the plurality of objects is located inside the frustum (200) may include the step (S310) of obtaining a plurality of bounding boxes corresponding to each of the plurality of objects.

[0120] In step S310, at least one processor (120) executes commands or program codes of a bounding box acquisition module (112), so that the electronic device (100) can acquire a plurality of bounding boxes corresponding to each of a plurality of objects.

[0121] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step (S300) of determining whether each of the plurality of objects is located inside the frustum (200) may include a step (S320) of determining whether each of the plurality of objects is located inside the frustum (200) based on a plurality of bounding boxes and a plurality of planes included in the frustum (200).

[0122] In step S320, at least one processor (120) executes the commands or program code of the position determination module (111), so that the electronic device (100) can determine whether each of the plurality of objects is located inside the frustum (200) through the positional relationship between the plurality of bounding boxes and the plurality of planes obtained through the bounding box acquisition module (112).

[0123] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, if it is determined in step S320 that at least one of the plurality of bounding boxes is not located inside the frustum (200), step S400 may be performed. If it is determined in step S320 that all of the plurality of bounding boxes are located inside the frustum (200), step S400 may not be performed.

[0124] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of transforming or filtering an object to obtain correction content according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Hereinafter, steps identical to those described in FIG. 4 are assigned the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0125] Referring to FIGS. 2, 4, and 5, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step (S320) of determining whether each of a plurality of objects is located inside a frustum (200) may include the step (S321) of obtaining a first volume included inside the frustum (200) and a second volume included outside the frustum (200) among the volumes of bounding boxes of at least one object located outside the frustum (200).

[0126] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in step S320, at least one object corresponding to at least one bounding box among a plurality of bounding boxes corresponding to each of a plurality of objects, the entire volume of which is not included within the frustum (200), may be determined as an object not located within the frustum (200). That is, at least one bounding box among a plurality of bounding boxes, some of which are located outside the frustum (200), may be determined to be located outside the frustum (200).

[0127] In step S321, by having at least one processor (120) execute instructions or program codes of a volume calculation module (113), the electronic device (100) can obtain a first volume included inside the frustum (200) and a second volume included outside the frustum (200) among the volumes of a bounding box of at least one object located outside the frustum (200).

[0128] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the electronic device (100) may further include a step (S322) of determining whether the ratio of the first volume to the volume of the bounding box is greater than a preset conversion ratio. In this case, step S322 may be included in step (S320) of determining whether each of the plurality of objects is located within the frustum (200).

[0129] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset transformation ratio may be a ratio set to determine whether to transform an object determined to be located outside the frustum (200) so that the object is located inside the frustum (200).

[0130] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the conversion ratio is set high, only objects having a large ratio of volume contained within the frustum (200), i.e., objects having a relatively small portion located outside the frustum (200), can be converted to generate correction content (400). Accordingly, the amount of computation required to generate correction content (400) can be reduced. When the conversion ratio is set low, objects having a small ratio of volume contained within the frustum (200), i.e., objects having a relatively large portion located outside the frustum (200), can also be converted to generate correction content (400). Accordingly, the amount of data lost during the conversion process can be reduced.

[0131] In step S322, at least one processor (120) executes commands or program codes of the position determination module (111), so that the electronic device (100) can determine whether the ratio of the first volume among the volumes of the bounding box located outside the frustum (200) is greater than a preset conversion ratio. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and commands or program codes for performing the operation of step S322 are stored in the object conversion module (114), and at least one processor (120) can of course perform step S322 through the object conversion module (114).

[0132] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step (S400) of obtaining correction content (400) by transforming at least one object located outside the frustum (200) may include the step (S410) of obtaining correction content (400) by transforming at least one object so that the at least one object is located inside the frustum (200) when the ratio of the first volume among the volumes of the bounding box is greater than a preset transformation ratio.

[0133] In step S410, at least one processor (120) can obtain the correction content (400) by executing the instructions or program code of the object transformation module (114) so ​​that at least one object is transformed so that the at least one object is located inside the frustum (200) according to a ratio of the first volume among the volumes of the bounding box being greater than a preset transformation ratio.

[0134] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step (S400) of obtaining correction content (400) by transforming at least one object located outside a frustum (200) may include the step (S420) of obtaining correction content (400) by filtering at least one object from the three-dimensional content (300) according to a ratio of a first volume among the volumes of the bounding box being equal to or smaller than a preset transformation ratio.

[0135] In step S420, at least one processor (120) can obtain correction content (400) by filtering at least one object according to whether the ratio of the first volume among the volumes of the bounding box is equal to or less than a preset conversion ratio by executing instructions or program codes of the object transformation module (114).

[0136] FIG. 6a is a flowchart illustrating an operation of obtaining correction content by transforming an object according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 6b is a diagram illustrating an operation of obtaining correction content by transforming an object according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Hereinafter, the same configurations and steps as those described in FIGS. 1 and 3 are assigned the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0137] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 6a and 6b, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step (S400) of obtaining corrected content (400) by transforming at least one object may include a step (S411) of obtaining reduced content by reducing the three-dimensional content (300) by a ratio of the distance between the near-plane (210) and the circular-plane (220) to the distance between the camera (500) and the circular-plane (220) in the view-direction (510).

[0138] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, since the near-plane (210) is located between the circular-plane (220) and the camera (500), the distance between the camera (500) and the circular-plane (220) is longer than the distance between the near-plane (210) and the circular-plane (220). Therefore, the ratio of the distance between the near-plane (210) and the circular-plane (220) to the distance between the camera (500) and the circular-plane (220) may be less than 1. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the ratio of the distance between the near-plane (210) and the circular-plane (220) to the distance between the camera (500) and the circular-plane (220) is 0.7, in step S411, reduced content (300) can be obtained by reducing the content by 0.7 times.

[0139] In step S411, at least one processor (120) can obtain reduced content by executing instructions or program codes of the resizing module (115), thereby reducing the three-dimensional content (300) by the ratio of the distance between the near-plane (210) and the near-plane (220) to the distance between the near-plane (210) and the near-plane (220) in the view-direction (510).

[0140] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In step S411, the three-dimensional content (300) may be reduced by the ratio of the distance between the near-plane (210) and the circular plane (220) to the distance between the object (610) closest to the camera (500) among the multiple objects included in the content (300) in the view direction (510), thereby obtaining the reduced content.

[0141] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6B, the content (300) may include a first object (610), a second object (620), a third object (630), and a fourth object (640). The positions of the first to fourth objects (610, 620, 630, 640) in the space including the frustum (200) may be different from each other. In this case, it is obvious that the content (300) may include more objects than the first object (610), the second object (620), the third object (630), and the fourth object (640). In addition, the content (300) may include three or fewer objects.

[0142] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, each of the first to fourth objects (610, 620, 630, 640) can be reduced into a first reduced object, a second reduced object (621), a third reduced object (631), and a fourth reduced object (641).

[0143] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first object (610) may be filtered out of the content (300) in steps S322 and S420, since the ratio of the first volume to the volume of the bounding box of the first object (610) is lower than the conversion ratio. In this case, the object closest to the camera (500) may be the third object (630) rather than the first object (610), so the ratio used to reduce the content (300) may increase. Accordingly, the size of the reduced content may be larger than when the first object (610) is not filtered. Hereinafter, the first object (610) will be described as being filtered.

[0144] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step (S400) of obtaining the correction content (400) by transforming at least one object may include the step (S412) of obtaining the correction content (400) by moving the reduced content so that the reduced content is located inside the frustum (200).

[0145] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the reduced second to fourth reduced objects (621, 631, 641) may be moved in the view-direction (510) to be located inside the frustum (200). At this time, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the reduced content may be moved so that the position of the object farthest from the camera (500) among the plurality of objects included in the content (300) before being reduced is the same as the position of the reduced object farthest from the camera (500) among the plurality of reduced objects included in the correction content (400). However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and it goes without saying that the degree to which the reduced content is moved may be different from this.

[0146] In step S412, at least one processor (120) can obtain the correction content (400) by executing instructions or program codes of the position movement module (116) to move the reduced content in the view-direction (510) so that the reduced content is located inside the frustum (200).

[0147] FIG. 7a is a flowchart illustrating an operation of obtaining correction content by transforming an intermediate object located in a space closer to the camera than the effective plane according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 7b is a diagram illustrating an operation of obtaining correction content by transforming an intermediate object located in a space closer to the camera than the effective plane according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Hereinafter, steps identical to those described in FIG. 3 are given the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0148] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 7a and 7b, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of operating an electronic device (100) may include a step (S500) of determining whether a distance from a camera (500) in a view-direction (510) to a near-plane (210) is shorter than a distance from a camera (500) in a view-direction (510) to an effective-plane (230).

[0149] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the camera information acquired in step S100 may include information about a pre-set effective plane on which three-dimensional content (300) is optimally displayed, as well as information about a frustum (200).

[0150] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the effective plane may be a plane in which crosstalk between multiple different images corresponding to multiple views displayed through a video display device is minimized. The image displayed on the plane may be the image most clearly presented to a user viewing the image.

[0151] In step S500, by having at least one processor (120) execute instructions or program codes included in the memory (110), the electronic device (100) can determine whether the distance from the camera (500) in the view-direction (510) to the near-plane (210) is shorter than the distance from the camera (500) in the view-direction (510) to the effective-plane (230).

[0152] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method of operating the electronic device (100) may include a step (S510) of determining whether each of a plurality of objects is located between the near-plane (210) and the effective-plane (230) when the distance from the camera (500) in the view-direction (510) to the near-plane (210) is shorter than the distance from the camera (500) in the view-direction (510) to the effective-plane (230).

[0153] In step S510, by having at least one processor (120) execute instructions or program codes of a position determination module (111), the electronic device (100) can determine whether each of the plurality of objects is located between the near-plane (210) and the effective-plane (230).

[0154] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the electronic device (100) may include a step (S600) of obtaining correction content (400) by transforming at least one intermediate object located between the near-plane (210) and the effective-plane (230) among a plurality of objects so that the at least one intermediate object is located between the effective-plane (230) and the near-plane (220).

[0155] In step S600, at least one processor (120) executes instructions or program codes of the object transformation module (114), so that the electronic device (100) can obtain correction content (400) by transforming at least one intermediate object located between the near-plane (210) and the effective-plane (230) among a plurality of objects so that the at least one intermediate object is located between the effective-plane (230) and the near-plane (220).

[0156] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S600 may include a step (S610) of obtaining reduced content by reducing the three-dimensional content (300) by a ratio of the distance between the effective plane (230) and the circular plane (220) to the distance between the near-plane (210) and the circular plane (220) in the view-direction (510).

[0157] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, since the effective plane (230) is located between the near-plane (210) and the circular-plane (220) based on the determination result in step S500, the distance between the near-plane (210) and the circular-plane (220) is longer than the distance between the effective plane (230) and the circular-plane (220). Accordingly, the ratio of the distance between the effective plane (230) and the circular-plane (220) to the distance between the near-plane (210) and the circular-plane (220) in the view-direction (510) may be less than 1. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the ratio of the distance between the effective plane (230) and the circle-plane (220) to the distance between the near-plane (210) and the circle-plane (220) in the view-direction (510) is 0.8, in step S610, reduced content that reduces the content (300) by 0.8 times can be obtained.

[0158] Referring to FIG. 7b, the content (300) may include a first object (621), a second object (631), and a third object (641). The positions of the first to third objects (621, 631, 641) in the space including the frustum (200) may be different from each other. At this time, since step S500 is performed after step S400, the first object (621) may correspond to the second reduced object in FIG. 6b, the second object (631) may correspond to the third reduced object in FIG. 6b, and the third object (641) may correspond to the fourth reduced object in FIG. 6b, respectively. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and step S500 may of course be performed after step S200.

[0159] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first object (621) may be filtered out of the content (300) in step S510, since the ratio of the first volume to the volume of the bounding box of the first object (621) is lower than the conversion ratio. In this case, the amount of computation required to perform step S610 may be reduced. Hereinafter, the first object (621) will be described as being filtered. The second object (631) may be reduced to the first reduced object (700), and the third object (641) may be reduced to the second reduced object (710), respectively.

[0160] In step S610, at least one processor (120) executes instructions or program codes of the resizing module (115), so that the electronic device (100) can obtain reduced content by reducing the three-dimensional content (300) by the ratio of the distance between the effective plane (230) and the original plane (220) to the distance between the near-plane (210) and the original plane (220) in the view-direction (510).

[0161] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S600 may include a step (S620) of obtaining correction content (400) by moving the reduced content so that the reduced content is located between the effective plane (230) and the original plane (220).

[0162] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first reduced object (700) and the second reduced object (710) may be moved in the view-direction (510) to be positioned between the effective plane (230) and the original plane (220). At this time, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the reduced content may be moved so that the position of the object farthest from the camera (500) among the plurality of objects included in the content (300) before being reduced is the same as the position of the reduced object farthest from the camera (500) among the plurality of reduced objects included in the correction content (400). However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and it goes without saying that the degree to which the reduced content is moved may be different from this.

[0163] In step S620, at least one processor (120) executes instructions or program codes of a position movement module (116), so that the electronic device (100) can obtain the correction content (400) by moving the reduced content so that the reduced content is located between the effective plane (230) and the original plane (220).

[0164] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S510 may be performed when it is determined in step S500 that the distance from the camera (500) to the near-plane (210) is shorter than the distance from the camera (500) to the effective-plane (230). When it is determined in step S500 that the distance from the camera (500) to the near-plane (210) is equal to or longer than the distance from the camera (500) to the effective-plane (230), operation S510 may not be performed.

[0165] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S600 may be performed when it is determined in step S510 that at least one object among the plurality of objects is located between the near-plane (210) and the effective-plane (230). When it is determined in step S510 that not all of the plurality of objects are located between the near-plane (210) and the effective-plane (230), step S600 may not be performed.

[0166] The present disclosure is not limited thereto, and it is obvious that the method of operating the electronic device (100) may perform at least one of steps S700 or S800 to be described later, even if step S510 or step S600 is not performed.

[0167] FIG. 8A is a flowchart illustrating an operation of obtaining correction content by transforming a border object so that a plurality of objects are positioned within an effective area according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 8B is a diagram illustrating an operation of obtaining correction content by transforming a border object so that a plurality of objects are positioned within an effective area according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Hereinafter, steps identical to those described in FIG. 3 are given the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0168] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 8a, and 8b, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frustum (200) may include a top plane, a bottom plane, a left plane, and a right plane. The frustum (200) may be composed of a near-plane (210), a near-plane (220), a top plane, a bottom plane, a left plane, and a right plane.

[0169] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the camera information acquired in step S100 may include information about a display area (800) composed of an upper plane, a lower plane, a left plane, and a right plane. The display area (800) illustrated in FIG. 8b may be illustrated as a display area composed of an upper plane, a lower plane, a left plane, and a right plane of a frustum (200) cut in a direction perpendicular to the view direction (510).

[0170] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the camera information acquired in step S100 may include a valid area (810) and a border area (820) surrounding the valid area (810). The border area (820) may be an area displayed through an outer portion of a display included in an image display device.

[0171] At this time, due to the characteristics of the video display device that displays multiple different images corresponding to multiple views, crosstalk may occur in the images displayed through the outer portion of the display. In contrast, the effective area (810) may be an area displayed through the central portion of the display included in the video display device. Crosstalk may not occur in the images displayed through the central portion of the display.

[0172] The ratio, size, shape, etc. of the effective area (810) and the border area (820) among the display area (800) may be determined in advance according to the type, resolution, size, etc. of the display included in the video display device and may be included in the camera information.

[0173] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the electronic device (100) may include a step (S700) of determining whether each of a plurality of objects is located within a valid area (810). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S700 may be performed after step S400. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and step S700 may of course be performed after step S200.

[0174] In step S700, at least one processor (120) executes instructions or program codes of a location determination module (111), so that the electronic device (100) can determine whether each of a plurality of objects is located within a valid area (810). An object determined to be located within a border area (820) among the plurality of objects may be referred to as a border object.

[0175] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the electronic device (100) may include a step (S710) of obtaining correction content (400) by transforming at least one border object located in a border area (820) among a plurality of objects so that the at least one border object located in a valid area (810) is located.

[0176] In step S710, at least one processor (120) executes instructions or program codes of the object transformation module (114), so that the electronic device (100) can obtain the correction content (400) by transforming at least one border object located in the border area (820) among a plurality of objects so that the at least one border object located in the valid area (810) is located.

[0177] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S710 may include a step of obtaining reduced content (300) that is reduced in size according to a ratio of the area of ​​the effective area (810) to the area of ​​the display area (800). By having at least one processor (120) execute instructions or program codes of the size adjustment module (115), the electronic device (100) may obtain reduced content (300) that is reduced in size according to a ratio of the area of ​​the effective area (810) to the area of ​​the display area (800).

[0178] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S710 may include a step of obtaining the corrected content (400) by moving the reduced content toward the center of the display area (800) so that the reduced content is located within the valid area (810). At this time, the direction in which the reduced content is moved may be a direction perpendicular to the view direction (510). By having at least one processor (120) execute instructions or program codes of the position movement module (116), the electronic device (100) may obtain the corrected content (400) by moving the reduced content toward the center of the display area (800).

[0179] Referring to FIG. 7b, the content (300, see FIG. 1) may include a first object (830), a second object (840), a third object (850), and a fourth object (860). The positions of the first to fourth objects (830, 840, 850, 860) in the display area (800) may be different from each other.

[0180] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in step S700, at least one object corresponding to at least one bounding box, among the plurality of bounding boxes corresponding to each of the plurality of objects, whose entire volume of the bounding box is not included in the valid area (810), may be determined as an object located in the border area (820).

[0181] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S700 may include obtaining a third volume included in the effective area (810) and a fourth volume included in the border area (820) among the volumes of the bounding boxes of at least one border object located in the border area (820).

[0182] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S700 may further include a step of determining whether the ratio of the third volume to the volume of the bounding box is greater than a preset effective ratio. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset effective ratio may be a ratio set for determining whether to transform a border object determined to be located in the border area (820) so that the border object is located in the effective area (810).

[0183] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the effective ratio is set high, only border objects having a large ratio of volume included in the effective area (810), i.e., a relatively small portion located in the border area (820), can be converted to generate correction content (400). Accordingly, the amount of computation required to generate correction content (400) can be reduced. When the effective ratio is set low, objects having a small ratio of volume included in the effective area (810), i.e., a relatively large portion located in the border area (820), can also be converted to generate correction content (400). Accordingly, the amount of data lost during the conversion process can be reduced.

[0184] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first object (830) may be filtered out of the content (300) in step S700 because the ratio of the third volume among the volumes of the bounding box of the first object (830) is lower than the effective ratio. In this case, the amount of computation required to perform step S710 may be reduced. Hereinafter, the first object (830) will be described as being filtered. The second object (840) may be reduced to a first reduced object (841), the third object (850) may be reduced to a second reduced object (851), and the fourth object (860) may be reduced to a third reduced object (861).

[0185] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first reduced object (841), the second reduced object (851), and the third reduced object (861) can be moved toward the center of the display area (800) so that the reduced content (400) is positioned within the valid area (810).

[0186] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S710 may be performed when it is determined in step S700 that at least one object among the plurality of objects is not located within the valid area (810). When it is determined in step S700 that all of the plurality of objects are located within the valid area (810), operation S710 may not be performed.

[0187] The present disclosure is not limited thereto, and it goes without saying that the method of operating the electronic device (100) may perform step S800, which will be described later, even if step S710 is not performed.

[0188] FIG. 9A is a flowchart illustrating an operation of obtaining corrected content by transforming a text object so that the text object is positioned on the zero plane according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 9B is a diagram illustrating an operation of obtaining corrected content by transforming a text object so that the text object is positioned on the zero plane according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Hereinafter, steps identical to those described in FIG. 3 are assigned the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0189] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 9a and 9b, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the electronic device (100) may include a step (S800) of determining whether a text type object is included among a plurality of objects.

[0190] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, "text" may include letters such as alphabets or Korean characters, numbers, special symbols, etc. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the text type indicates that an object is classified as a type that includes text, and an object that includes text may be classified as "Text," "Canvas," "2D UI," "Flat UI," etc., depending on the program, application, model, etc. used to create the content (300), and is not limited to any one of them. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the content (300) may include information about the type of each of a plurality of objects included in the content.

[0191] In step S800, by having at least one processor (120) execute instructions or program codes included in the memory (110), the electronic device (100) can determine whether a text type object is included among a plurality of objects.

[0192] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the electronic device (100) may include a step (S810) of determining whether depth information of an object of a text type is “0”.

[0193] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of objects included in the content (300) may be three-dimensional and may each include depth information. Depending on the position of each of the plurality of objects in the frustum (200), the plurality of objects may have different depth values. In this case, the depth information of an object located at the zero plane (240) in the frustum (200) may be "0". In this case, an object with depth information of "0" may be displayed as being located on the same plane as the display of the image display device. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the content (300) may include depth information of each of the plurality of objects included in the content.

[0194] In step S810, by having at least one processor (120) execute instructions or program codes included in the memory (110), the electronic device (100) can determine whether the depth information of an object of a text type is “0”.

[0195] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the electronic device (100) may include a step (S900) of obtaining corrected content (400) by converting at least one text object, determined to be a text type among a plurality of objects, so that the at least one text object is located on the zero plane (240).

[0196] In step S900, at least one processor (120) executes commands or program codes of an object conversion module (114), so that the electronic device (100) can obtain corrected content (400) by converting at least one text object determined to be a text type among a plurality of objects so that the at least one text object is located on the zero plane (240).

[0197] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S900 may include a step (S910) of resizing the three-dimensional content (300) by a ratio of a distance from the camera (500) in the view-direction (510) to the zero-plane (240) to the distance from the camera (500) in the view-direction (510) to at least one text object, thereby obtaining the adjusted content.

[0198] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, since the text object is located at a location other than the zero-plane according to the judgment result in step S810, the distance from the camera (500) in the view-direction (510) to at least one text object and the distance from the camera (500) to the zero-plane (240) may be different from each other.

[0199] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a text object is located in an area closer to the camera (500) than the zero plane, the text object may be presented to a user of the video display device as if it is coming forward from the display of the video display device. In this case, a ratio of the distance from the camera (500) to the zero plane (240) to the distance from the camera (500) to at least one text object may be greater than 1. In step S910, the three-dimensional content (300) may be adjusted in size to be larger by the calculated ratio, thereby obtaining the adjusted content.

[0200] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a text object is located in an area further from the camera (500) than the zero plane, the text object may be presented to a user of the video display device as if it were retracted from the display of the video display device. In this case, a ratio of the distance from the camera (500) to the zero plane (240) to the distance from the camera (500) to at least one text object may be less than 1. In step S910, the three-dimensional content (300) may be adjusted in size to be reduced by the calculated ratio, thereby obtaining the adjusted content.

[0201] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and in step S910, the adjusted content may be obtained by adjusting the size of only the text object.

[0202] Referring to FIG. 9B, content (300) may include a first text object (900) and a second text object (910). The positions of the first text object (900) and the second text object (910) in the space including the frustum (200) may be different. The first text object (900), "Hello," may be located in an area closer to the camera (500) than the zero-plane (240). The second text object (910), "Good," may be located in an area farther from the camera (500) than the zero-plane (240).

[0203] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in step S910, a first text object (900) may be adjusted to increase in size to a first adjusted text object (901). A second text object (910) may be adjusted to decrease in size to a second adjusted text object (911).

[0204] In step S910, at least one processor (120) executes instructions or program codes of a size adjustment module (115), so that the electronic device (100) can acquire adjusted content by adjusting the size of the three-dimensional content (300) by a ratio of the distance from the camera (500) in the view-direction (510) to at least one text object, to the distance from the camera (500) in the view-direction (510) to the zero-plane (240). At this time, the adjusted content may include an adjusted text object.

[0205] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S900 may include a step (S920) of moving the adjustment content so that at least one text object is positioned on the zero-plane (240) to obtain the correction content (400).

[0206] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first adjustment text object (901) can be moved in the view-direction to be positioned on the zero-plane (240). A second adjustment text object (910) can be moved in the opposite direction of the view-direction to be positioned on the zero-plane (240).

[0207] In step S920, at least one processor (120) executes instructions or program codes of a position movement module (116), so that the electronic device (100) can move the adjustment content so that at least one text object is positioned on the zero plane (240), thereby obtaining the correction content (400).

[0208] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S810 may be performed when at least one object among the plurality of objects in step S800 is determined to be a text type object. If all of the plurality of objects in step S800 are determined to be text type objects, operation S810 may not be performed.

[0209] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S900 may be performed when it is determined in step S810 that the depth information of at least one text type object is not "0". When it is determined in step S810 that the depth information of at least one text type object is "0", step S900 may not be performed.

[0210] FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Hereinafter, steps identical to those described in FIGS. 3 to 9b are assigned the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0211] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 10, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, in step S300, the electronic device (100) can determine whether each of the plurality of objects included in the content (300) is located inside the frustum (200). In this case, step S300 may be performed after step S200.

[0212] When it is determined in step S300 that at least one object among the plurality of objects is not located inside the frustum (200), the electronic device (100) can perform step S400.

[0213] In step S400, the electronic device (100) can obtain the correction content (400) by transforming at least one object located outside the frustum (200) so that at least one object is located inside the frustum (200).

[0214] When it is determined in step S300 that all of the plurality of objects are located inside the frustum (200), the electronic device (100) can perform step S500.

[0215] In step S500, the electronic device (100) can determine whether the distance from the camera (500) in the view-direction (510) to the near-plane (210) is shorter than the distance from the camera (500) in the view-direction (510) to the effective-plane (230).

[0216] When it is determined in step S500 that the distance from the camera (500) to the near-plane (210) is shorter than the distance from the camera (500) to the effective-plane (230), the electronic device (100) may perform step S510. In step S510, the electronic device (100) may determine whether each of the plurality of objects is located between the near-plane (210) and the effective-plane (230). In this case, when step S400 is performed, the plurality of objects determined in step S510 may refer to objects included in the correction content (400).

[0217] In step S510, when it is determined that at least one object among the plurality of objects is located between the near-plane (210) and the effective-plane (230), the electronic device (100) may perform step S600. In step S600, the electronic device (100) may transform at least one intermediate object among the plurality of objects located between the near-plane (210) and the effective-plane (230) so that the intermediate object is located between the effective-plane (230) and the near-plane (220), thereby obtaining correction content (400), and perform step S510 again.

[0218] Since it is determined in step S510 that none of the plurality of objects are located between the near-plane (210) and the effective-plane (230), the electronic device (100) may perform step S500 again without performing step S600. In addition, since it is determined in step S500 that the distance from the camera (500) to the near-plane (210) is equal to or longer than the distance from the camera (500) to the effective-plane (230), the electronic device (100) may perform step S700.

[0219] In step S700, the electronic device (100) can determine whether each of the plurality of objects is located within the valid area (810). If it is determined in step S700 that at least one object among the plurality of objects is not located within the valid area (810), the electronic device (100) can perform step S710.

[0220] In step S710, the electronic device (100) may obtain correction content (400) by transforming at least one border object located in the border area (820) among a plurality of objects so that at least one border object located in the valid area (810) is located, and then perform step S700 again.

[0221] When it is determined in step S700 that all of the multiple objects are located within the valid area (810), the electronic device (100) can perform step S800.

[0222] In step S800, the electronic device (100) can determine whether a text type object is included among the plurality of objects. If at least one object among the plurality of objects is determined to be a text type object in step S800, the electronic device (100) can perform step S810.

[0223] In step S810, the electronic device (100) can determine whether the depth information of the text type object is "0". If it is determined in step S810 that the depth information of the text type object is not "0", the electronic device (100) can perform step S900.

[0224] In step S900, the electronic device (100) may obtain corrected content (400) by converting at least one text object determined to be a text type among a plurality of objects so that the text object is located on the zero plane (240), and then perform step S810 again.

[0225] As the depth information of the text type object is determined to be “0” in step S810, the electronic device (100) can perform step S800 again.

[0226] When it is determined in step S800 that no text type object is included among the plurality of objects, the electronic device (100) may terminate the operation and obtain the finally generated correction content (400).

[0227] FIG. 11 is a drawing illustrating an electronic device including a display for displaying correction content according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0228] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 11 illustrates an electronic device (1100) including a display (1110).

Accordingly, the electronic device (1100) may provide the user (1140) with a lossless image.

[0232] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the correction content (400) includes a plurality of objects (1120) positioned between the effective plane (230, see FIG. 6b) and the original plane (220), so that the electronic device (1100) can provide an image without crosstalk to the user (1140).

[0233] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the correction content (400) includes a plurality of objects positioned within an effective area (810, see FIG. 8B), so that the electronic device (1100) can provide an image to a user (1140) without crosstalk occurring in the periphery of the display (1110).
