3D Content Display Updates for Stable Viewpoint Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer graphical environments often present undesired or unintended views of objects due to user movement, lacking effective mechanisms for dynamically updating the display of content items based on predefined criteria.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device captures physical environments using cameras, detects movements, and updates content item representations by scaling, clipping, or cropping based on predefined criteria, ensuring continuous or discrete changes within a movement threshold.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display presents content items in a three-dimensional environment, then the user can view content in an immersive environment, but the user may experience undesired or unintended views after movement
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing criteria before user movement occurs. These criteria define the conditions under which content item representations should be updated, allowing the system to proactively prepare for and respond to user movement in a controlled manner, preventing undesired views before they occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring user movement and comparing it against predefined criteria. When movement satisfies the criteria, the system updates content representations accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to user actions while maintaining stable and intended views.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system updates content item representations dynamically, then the display adapts to user movements, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the update mechanism into distinct components: criteria definition, movement detection, criteria satisfaction evaluation, and content representation updating. This segmentation allows each component to be independently designed, optimized, and managed, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining dynamic adaptation capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs dynamic content item representations that can transform based on user movement. By making the representations themselves adaptable rather than creating entirely new systems, the patent achieves display adaptation with reduced complexity, as the same representation framework handles both static and dynamic states.
3Ease of operation
If the system continuously monitors and updates content based on movement, then the display remains aligned with user viewpoint, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic monitoring and updating rather than continuous operation. By checking criteria satisfaction at discrete intervals or triggered by significant movement events, the system maintains viewpoint alignment while reducing energy consumption compared to constant monitoring and rendering updates.
Solution Approach 2:
The system leverages the user's own movement as the triggering mechanism for updates. Rather than actively scanning for changes, the system passively responds to user movement by detecting position changes and automatically updating content representations, reducing the energy required for active monitoring while maintaining alignment.

AI summary
Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for displaying and updating the display of content such as a representation of a content item in a three-dimensional environment presented at an electronic device in response to movements of the electronic device and satisfying a set of criteria. Examples of the disclosure are directed to improving the user experience by automatically updating the representation of the content item when certain conditions are satisfied, such as when the orientation of the electronic device relative to the three-dimensional environment is appropriate (e.g., the criteria for updating the representation of the content item is satisfied).
