Ambient Light Image Adjustment for Consistent Body-Part Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a mismatch in the visual appearance of body parts viewed through a device display and directly viewed due to differences in ambient light conditions, leading to a suboptimal user experience during in-person interactions.
Innovation Solution
A device captures image data of a user's body part, modifies it based on a threshold ambient light condition detected during enrollment, and displays the modified image data to match the ambient light conditions, ensuring a consistent visual appearance across different lighting scenarios.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If image data is displayed without modification, then device complexity is reduced, but visual appearance consistency across different ambient light conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying image data parameters (brightness, contrast, color temperature) based on detected ambient light conditions. The system adjusts these parameters dynamically to match the current lighting environment, ensuring visual consistency between displayed and actual body part appearance without requiring complex structural changes to the device.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring ambient light conditions through environmental sensors and using this information to adjust image display parameters. This closed-loop approach ensures that the displayed image data consistently matches the actual visual appearance of the body part under varying lighting conditions.
2Stability of the object's composition
If device is removed during interactions, then visual appearance consistency is improved, but productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting ambient light conditions and adjusting image display parameters without requiring user intervention or device removal. The device autonomously maintains visual consistency during interactions, eliminating the need for users to remove the device to achieve proper visual appearance.
3Stability of the object's composition
If image data is modified to match ambient light, then visual appearance consistency is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by modifying only the necessary image parameters (such as brightness and contrast adjustments) rather than performing complete image reprocessing. This selective modification approach achieves sufficient visual consistency while minimizing computational energy consumption.
