AR Display Coordination for Multi-Device Overlap
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In augmented reality (AR) applications, such as head-up displays (HUD) and smart glasses, overlapping display areas of virtual information can interfere with each other, affecting user experience when used simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that detect and pair electronic devices within a preset area, negotiate display parameters to prevent overlap, and display content according to determined parameters, ensuring non-interfering virtual information presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple AR devices (HUD and smart glasses) display virtual information simultaneously, then the user can access comprehensive information from both devices, but the display areas overlap and interfere with each other, degrading user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces spatial dimension coordination by detecting the relative positions of multiple AR devices and adjusting display parameters (such as display area, position, and content distribution) based on spatial relationships. This dimensional approach allows simultaneous information display from multiple devices without overlap interference, resolving the contradiction between information accessibility and display interference.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the system detects and coordinates display parameters of multiple AR devices, then display interference is prevented, but the system complexity increases due to detection and negotiation mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the coordination functions into a unified system where multiple AR devices communicate and negotiate display parameters through a centralized or distributed coordination mechanism. By combining detection, negotiation, and parameter adjustment functions into an integrated system, the patent reduces overall complexity compared to having separate coordination systems for each device pair.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the system negotiates display parameters between paired devices, then display coordination is achieved, but the response time increases due to detection and negotiation processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary pairing and parameter negotiation mechanisms that establish coordination protocols before actual display operations begin. By pre-configuring display parameters and establishing communication channels in advance, the system reduces real-time negotiation overhead and response time during actual multi-device display operations.

AI summary
A method includes detecting, using one or more processors, whether a coordinated electronic device is within a preset area around a coordinating electronic device, pairing the coordinating electronic device with the coordinated electronic device in response to detecting that the coordinated electronic device is within the preset area, negotiating with the coordinated electronic device to determine a display parameter of the coordinating electronic device in response to successfully pairing the coordinating electronic device and the coordinated electronic device, and displaying a target content according to the display parameter.
