Bioeffect Image Overlay on Electronic Device Display Regions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bioeffect devices can only provide a single type of treatment and cannot display visual images during treatment, requiring users to purchase multiple devices and limiting their functionality.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device method that extracts a user-interested region from a displayed image and overlays or displays a bioeffect image, such as an eye-blink inducing image, at that region, using various input devices or gaze detection, enhancing the treatment effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single bioeffect device provides only one particular type of treatment, then the treatment effect is specialized and effective, but the device lacks versatility and users must purchase multiple devices for different treatments
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is designed to perform multiple functions: it displays normal images for general viewing and can display bioeffect images for various treatments (photo-therapy, biorhythm control, eye-blink induction). By integrating multiple treatment types into a single device through the display interface, the system achieves versatility without requiring separate specialized devices for each treatment type.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a bioeffect device cannot display visual images during treatment, then the treatment focus is maintained, but the user cannot receive visual information simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into different functional regions: a first region displays normal images for general visual content, while a second region (user-interested region) displays bioeffect images for treatment purposes. This spatial segmentation allows both normal visual content and treatment-related visual stimuli to coexist on the same display without interfering with each other, enabling simultaneous information delivery and treatment effectiveness.
3Reliability
If the bioeffect image is displayed for a duration perceptible by the user, then the user is aware of the treatment, but the treatment effect may be reduced due to conscious perception
Solution Approach 1:
The bioeffect image is displayed periodically rather than continuously, with controlled duration and frequency. This periodic display allows the treatment effect to accumulate while preventing the user from consciously perceiving the full effect, as the brief intervals prevent sustained awareness. The periodic nature maintains treatment reliability while minimizing user awareness that could interfere with the effect.

AI summary
A method of operating an electronic device includes displaying a first image, extracting a user-interested region from a region including the first image, and displaying a bioeffect image at the user-interested region. The first image and bioeffect image are different images.
