3D Spectacle Detection and Storage System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing 3D image contents viewing systems face challenges in ensuring seamless transition between 3D and 2D viewing based on the availability of 3D spectacles, leading to inconvenience if the spectacles are lost or not used appropriately, and there is a risk of loss due to improper handling.
Innovation Solution
A 3D image contents viewing system that includes a detector to identify the use or non-use of 3D spectacles, a controller to adjust the output accordingly, and a container to store and track the spectacles, ensuring that 3D content is converted to 2D if spectacles are not present and reducing the risk of loss by recommending their storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the system requires 3D spectacles for 3D viewing, then 3D viewing quality is improved, but the risk of loss increases and viewing continuity deteriorates when spectacles are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically changes the output parameter from 3D image to 2D image based on the detection result of spectacles presence, allowing continuous viewing while adapting to the user's actual state
Solution Approach 2:
The detector provides feedback about spectacles usage status to the controller, which then adjusts the image output accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that maintains viewing continuity
2Reliability
If the system automatically converts to 2D when spectacles are not detected, then viewing continuity is improved, but the complexity of the system increases due to additional detection and control mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The detector serves multiple functions: detecting spectacles presence, determining user position relative to the display, and providing input for image format conversion decisions
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects spectacles presence and performs format conversion without requiring manual user input, making the complexity management self-service
3Adaptability or versatility
If 3D spectacles are integrated into the viewing system, then 3D viewing experience is improved, but the risk of loss increases and ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to the user about detected spectacles usage status and automatically adjusts output, reducing the operational burden on the user
Solution Approach 2:
The system autonomously manages the 3D/2D conversion based on detected spectacles presence, eliminating the need for manual user operations
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system ensures uninterrupted viewing by automatically converting 3D to 2D if spectacles are not used and reduces the risk of loss by tracking and recommending the storage of spectacles, providing a unified and convenient 3D digital moving image contents viewing experience.
Implementation Method 1
the detector includes a wireless receiver arranged to receive from the 3D spectacles information indicative of use or nonuse of 3D spectacles
Implementation Method 2
the receiver includes reflection receiver responsive to reflection of the synchronizing signal on 3D spectacles

AI summary
3D television set or its external speaker box has container for a plurality of 3D spectacles. Container can locate individual 3D spectacles therein. Each of 3D spectacles has unique modulation reflector of infrared synchronizing signal. 3D television set displays 3D image on 3D program upon use of 3D spectacles detected directly by the modulation reflection or indirectly by 3D spectacles not remaining in container. 3D television set displays 2D image on 3D program if nonuse of 3D spectacles is detected directly by the no modulation reflection or indirectly by 3D spectacles remaining in container. Upon detection of nonuse, recommendation display is made to ware 3D spectacles. During 2D commercial message, synchronizing signal is halted. Recommendation to put unnecessary 3D spectacles in container is made upon end of every program, or end of 3D program followed by 2D program, or right before power off of 3D television set.
