Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video content stream systems lack the ability to automatically and seamlessly integrate augmenting video content into a secondary display space based on the size of that space, without user input, while maintaining the integrity and thematic linkage with primary video content.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising one or more apparatus configured to provide a primary and secondary display space, with means to control the display of primary video content in the primary space and augmenting video content in the secondary space, where the display of augmenting video content is automatically adjusted based on the size of the secondary space, using configuration parameters that define whether, where, and how the augmenting content is displayed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If augmenting video content is automatically displayed in the second display space based on size, then the viewing experience is enhanced and immersive, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability of display systemVSAvoidcomplexity of control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the display of augmenting video content based on the detected size of the second display space. The control system automatically modifies which augmenting content is displayed and at what scale, transforming a static display system into a dynamic one that adapts to different viewing conditions without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting the second display space size and autonomously controlling the display of augmenting video content. No user input is required - the system independently determines the appropriate configuration, selecting and scaling augmenting content based on the detected display parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple display spaces are provided for primary and augmenting video content, then the immersion and engagement are enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-display capabilityVSAvoidcomplexity of display control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is segmented into distinct functional components: a first display space for primary video content and a second display space for augmenting video content. This segmentation allows independent control and optimization of each display area, managing complexity through functional separation while achieving enhanced immersive capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from a single-dimensional display approach to a multi-dimensional display architecture by introducing a second display space dedicated to augmenting content. This dimensional expansion enables simultaneous presentation of primary and augmenting video content, creating a more immersive experience while organizing complexity across separate display dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of operation

If augmenting video content is automatically adjusted without user input, then ease of operation is improved, but control precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic controlVSAvoidprecision of display space detection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by detecting the actual size of the second display space and using this information to automatically adjust the display of augmenting video content. The detection mechanism provides feedback about display conditions, enabling the control system to make precise automatic adjustments without user intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically changes display parameters such as the scale and selection of augmenting video content based on the detected size of the second display space. By dynamically adjusting these parameters according to measured display conditions, the system achieves precise automatic control that adapts to different viewing configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
