Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional 3D UX technologies, such as planar and solid 3D, face challenges in providing clear depth perception and legibility, with planar 3D failing to recreate spatial perception effectively and solid 3D causing image distortion, which affects user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and recorded medium for providing 3D information services by rotating information elements along the Z axis with different depths and rotational axes on the YZ or XZ planes, allowing for varying rotation speeds and times based on priority levels to enhance legibility and depth perception.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If solid 3D technology is used to represent screen elements in 3D space, then depth perception and spatial perception are improved, but image distortion increases and legibility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the information display into multiple layers along the Z-axis, with each layer containing specific information elements. This segmentation allows different information to be positioned at different depths, providing depth perception while maintaining image clarity within each layer, thus resolving the contradiction between depth perception and image distortion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional 2D display to 3D spatial display by utilizing the Z-axis dimension. Information elements are arranged in three-dimensional space with different depths, allowing users to perceive spatial relationships and depth while maintaining legibility through proper positioning and layering, thereby achieving both depth perception and image quality.
2Ease of operation
If planar 3D technology is used to move surface elements, then 3D motion sensation is provided, but spatial perception and depth perception are not effectively recreated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs true 3D spatial positioning of information elements along the Z-axis, rather than merely animating 2D surfaces. By placing elements at different depths in three-dimensional space and enabling rotation around multiple axes, the system creates authentic spatial perception and depth awareness, resolving the limitation of planar 3D technology.
3Manufacturing precision
If information elements are displayed with different depths along the Z axis by rotating them, then legibility and depth perception are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic rotation of information elements around the Z-axis, allowing the display to transition between different rotational states. This dynamic capability enables the system to present information at optimal angles for legibility while maintaining the 3D spatial structure, managing the complexity through controlled rotational movement rather than static complex positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes rotation angle as a controllable parameter to adjust the presentation of information elements. By varying the rotation angle around the Z-axis, the system can optimize legibility for different viewing conditions while preserving the underlying 3D spatial arrangement, thereby managing complexity through parameter adjustment rather than structural complexity.

AI summary
A method of providing a 3D information service at a user terminal includes: receiving a first request of a user for displaying information; and displaying information elements, which have different depths along the Z axis orthogonal to a screen (XY plane), by rotating the information elements about any one of the X axis and the Y axis, where the rotational axis of each of the information elements is set at different points on the YZ plane or the XZ plane. According to certain embodiments of the invention, the information elements on a screen may be shown as planar elements in a still screen for greater legibility, but when the information elements are in motion, such as for changing the screen or moving a content element, the motion is provided with differing speeds according to depth, thereby providing a sense of spatial perception unique to 3-dimensional images.
