Solution Overview

Problem

Existing projection systems with AI integration primarily focus on internal functions like turning on/off or adjusting color modes, lacking advanced smart home functionalities, especially in integrating identification-type and content-generating AI models.

Innovation Solution

A projection system communicatively connected to a cloud server with an AI computation module, comprising a projection module, image capture apparatus, and input apparatus, which captures images, processes them with AI to identify target objects, and projects relevant information in real-time adjacent to the objects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If AI models are integrated with projectors for internal function control, then basic control functionality is improved, but smart home functionality remains limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebasic control functionalityVSAvoidsmart home functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The projector is transformed from a single-function display device into a multi-functional smart home hub that combines projection, AI image recognition, object identification, and information display. The system can identify various objects (plants, animals, furniture, artworks) and provide diverse responses including information projection, guidance, and interaction, making it universally applicable to multiple smart home scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

A cloud server with AI computation module is introduced as an intermediary between the projector and advanced AI functions. The cloud server receives captured images, processes them through AI models to identify objects and generate responses, then sends back analysis results to the projector. This intermediary enables the projector to access powerful AI capabilities without requiring complex local processing hardware.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If identification-type AI models are integrated with projectors, then object recognition capability is improved, but smart home functionality is not upgraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject recognition capabilityVSAvoidsmart home functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback loop where the projector captures images of objects, sends them to the cloud server for AI analysis, receives identification results back, and then projects relevant information or guidance related to the identified object. This feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt its response based on the identified object, transforming simple recognition into interactive smart home functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically identifies objects in the environment and provides relevant information or guidance without requiring manual input or programming. The AI model autonomously analyzes captured images, determines object identity, and generates appropriate responses, enabling the projector to serve itself in providing intelligent smart home functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If content-generating AI models are integrated with projectors, then content creation capability is improved, but smart home functionality is not upgraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent creation capabilityVSAvoidsmart home functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The cloud server pre-processes and generates comprehensive information about identified objects before the projector needs to display it. The AI model performs preliminary analysis of captured images, retrieves relevant information from databases or generates content in advance, and prepares structured responses that the projector can directly display, improving content creation efficiency and enabling smart home applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
