AR Display Location Control for Visibility and Movement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality technologies face challenges in displaying additional information images without concealing the recognition subject, particularly in scenarios where user movement and operation states need to be accurately tracked for effective work support, such as fault location identification in electronic devices.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device that captures images of a recognition subject and user movement, recognizes the subject and movement site, and controls the display location of additional information images to positions other than the subject and movement site, using a processor and memory to execute instructions for image acquisition, recognition, and display control, ensuring the additional information is displayed in a manner that does not interfere with the user's line of sight or movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If additional information image is superimposed on recognition subject, then work support information is provided to user, but recognition subject is concealed and visibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by displaying additional information images at different locations based on user state. When user is stationary, information is displayed on the recognition subject. When user moves, information is displayed at a location away from the subject. This creates different display qualities (locations) for different local conditions (user movement state), resolving the contradiction between providing information and maintaining visibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the display location of additional information images dynamic rather than fixed. The control unit changes the display location based on detected user movement. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to adapt to changing conditions, providing information when needed while avoiding concealment during movement, thus resolving the contradiction.
2Ease of operation
If additional information image is displayed to support work, then user gets guidance information, but display location may interfere with user's line of sight or movement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses local quality by adjusting display location according to user state. When user is stationary, display on subject provides good work support. When user moves, displaying away from subject prevents interference with line of sight and movement. This creates optimized display quality for each local condition, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and avoiding interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by using the movement detection unit to continuously monitor user movement and adjusting display location accordingly. The system receives feedback about user state and modifies its behavior (display location) to avoid interference while maintaining work support functionality, thus resolving the contradiction.

AI summary
An image processing device includes, a processor; and a memory which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute, acquiring an image including a subject recognized and a movement site of a user; recognizing the subject recognized and the movement site from the image; and controlling a display location, in the image, of an additional information image corresponding to the subject recognized, to a location other than the subject recognized and the movement site.
