Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image display technologies lack an effective method for managing and distributing angle of view information for 360-degree image content, which is essential for providing users with seamless and customizable viewing experiences.
Innovation Solution
An image display apparatus and method that create, manage, and store angle of view information, allowing users to select and store specific angle of view values for 360-degree content, which can be used to reproduce the image accurately, including features like user input processing, meta file generation, and separate storage of angle of view information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If angle of view information is manually adjusted during each viewing session, then viewing accuracy can be achieved, but user convenience and time efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically capturing and storing angle of view information during the first viewing session. This pre-captured data is then reused in subsequent sessions, eliminating the need for manual adjustment while maintaining viewing accuracy. The angle of view information is stored in association with the 360-degree image metadata, enabling automatic retrieval and application.
2Measurement precision
If angle of view information is stored separately for each 360-degree image, then management precision improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges angle of view information with 360-degree image metadata into a unified data structure. Instead of maintaining separate storage systems, the angle of view data is integrated into the existing metadata framework, using the same storage and retrieval mechanisms. This combination maintains precise tracking of angle of view information while avoiding the overhead of dual management systems.
3Productivity
If angle of view information is automatically captured and stored, then productivity improves, but data management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically capturing angle of view information during normal operation without requiring external intervention. The apparatus monitors its own viewing state, automatically records the angle of view data, and stores it in association with the corresponding 360-degree image. This self-capturing mechanism improves productivity while minimizing the need for additional management infrastructure.
