3D Display Battery Status via Glasses Signal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of 3D glasses struggle to conveniently access battery status information, such as remaining battery life, due to the lack of easy methods to check battery duration or remaining power.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) on a 3D display apparatus to receive and display battery information from 3D glasses, including remaining capacity and expected runtime, with optional notifications and adjustments to the glasses' operation when the battery is low, using a communicating unit, GUI generating unit, and control unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If 3D glasses use built-in batteries to provide power for wireless operation, then wireless functionality is achieved, but users cannot conveniently check battery status information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a display apparatus as an intermediary device that receives battery status signals from the 3D glasses and presents the information through a user-friendly GUI. The glasses contain a signal transmitting unit that sends battery information to the display apparatus, which then displays remaining battery capacity and runtime through graphical interfaces, making battery status easily accessible without modifying the glasses themselves.
2Loss of information
If battery information is transmitted from 3D glasses to display apparatus, then users can access battery status, but additional communication components are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the communication components multi-functional by using the existing synchronous signal transmission channel for dual purposes: both for synchronizing the shutter glasses with the display refresh rate and for transmitting battery status information. This eliminates the need for separate dedicated communication hardware, as the same signal pathway serves both synchronization and information transfer functions.

AI summary
Provided are a three dimensional (3D) display apparatus, a method of setting up a graphic user interface (GUI) thereof, and 3D glasses. The method of providing a GUI of the 3D display apparatus operating in association with the 3D glasses includes receiving a signal including battery information from the 3D glasses, generating a GUI related to the battery information of the 3D glasses, using the battery information contained in the received signal, and displaying the generated GUI on a screen of the 3D display apparatus.
