3D Curve Character Display Extension for Long Strings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing input display control devices struggle to arrange all character objects in a character string within a three-dimensional space when the string's length exceeds the display area's capacity, leading to incomplete character object display.
Innovation Solution
The input display control device extends character objects into a surrounding three-dimensional space along a curved path, using curve extension and display processing units to generate display information for arranging characters outside the display area, ensuring all characters are visible.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If character objects are arranged along a curve within the display area, then the character string can be displayed following a curved path, but when the character string length exceeds the display area capacity, some character objects cannot be displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the curve into the third dimension (depth) by creating a virtual three-dimensional space. The curve extension unit generates curve information that extends beyond the display area into the non-display area, allowing character objects to be arranged along this extended curve in 3D space. This dimensional transition enables complete character string display by utilizing space outside the traditional 2D display boundaries.
2Loss of information
If the curve is extended to accommodate all character objects, then all characters can be displayed, but the curve extends into the non-display area where characters cannot be visually seen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of curve extension based on character string length. The curve extension unit dynamically determines the extension length by comparing the character string length with the original curve length, and adjusts the curve extension accordingly. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize between displaying all characters and maintaining proper display area utilization, rather than using a fixed extension strategy.

AI summary
An input display control device (100) includes: an image acquisition unit (71) for acquiring an image of a three-dimensional space; a curve information acquisition unit (9) for acquiring curve information indicating a three-dimensional curve; a character string acquisition unit (10) for acquiring a character string; and a display control unit (12) for generating display information for superimposing character objects that are objects indicating characters included in the character string acquired by the character string acquisition unit (10) on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit (71), along a curve indicated by the curve information acquired by the curve information acquisition unit (9), in which when some of the character objects for the characters included in the character string acquired by the character string acquisition unit (10) protrude out of a display area of a display (32) since the length of the character string acquired by the character string acquisition unit (10) is long, the display control unit (12) arranges some of the character objects for the characters in a surrounding three-dimensional space of a three-dimensional space indicated by the display area.
