Cloaking Device Hardware Matrix for Dynamic Camouflage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cloaking technologies rely on computers to capture and project dynamic background images, which are space and power intensive, and increase complexity, making them unsuitable for premium space and power-constrained environments.
Innovation Solution
A cloaking device with an active presentation matrix affixed to the object, which captures and projects ambient signals without a computer, using detecting and emitting components to create a presentation that cloaks the object from an observer's view, functioning in both visible and non-visible frequency spectra.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If computers are used to capture and project dynamic background images for cloaking, then dynamic camouflage capability is improved, but space consumption and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the computer processing function from the cloaking system and replaces it with a hardware matrix device that directly processes ambient signals through optical and electrical components, eliminating the need for computers while maintaining dynamic camouflage capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical/computational image processing system with an optical-electrical system using detecting components, hardware matrix processing, and emitting components to directly generate camouflage images from ambient signals
2Adaptability or versatility
If computers are used to capture and project dynamic background images for cloaking, then dynamic camouflage capability is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the power-intensive computer processing component and replaces it with a hardware matrix device that processes signals through dedicated optical and electrical circuits, significantly reducing power consumption while maintaining dynamic camouflage functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The hardware matrix device performs self-processing of ambient signals through integrated detecting and emitting components without requiring external computer processing, enabling autonomous operation with lower power requirements
3Adaptability or versatility
If computers are used to capture and project dynamic background images for cloaking, then dynamic camouflage capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the complex computer processing subsystem, replacing it with a streamlined hardware matrix device that integrates signal detection, processing, and emission functions in a single compact unit, thereby reducing overall system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the functions of signal detection, hardware matrix processing, and image emission into a single integrated device, eliminating the need for separate computer components and simplifying the overall system architecture

AI summary
A method, system, and apparatus for alleviating an obstruction caused by an object from a view of an observer includes a hardware device affixed to the object such that the observer observes a presentation on the device when observing the object. The device is enabled to receive a signal, wherein the signal corresponds to a portion of an ambience obscured by the object from a view of the observer. The signal is processed at the device and without using a data processing system, to generate a version of the signal. Using the device, the version of the signal is presented to the observer as the presentation, wherein the version of the signal alleviates the portion of the ambience obstructed by the object in the view of the observer.
