Solution Overview

Problem

Wearable mobile devices face challenges in maintaining consistent color perception across varying ambient light conditions due to the human visual system's different responses to light levels, which traditional brightness adjustments fail to address effectively.

Innovation Solution

A color perception model is applied to image data on wearable devices, using sub-models like hue, tone, and brightness models, trained with psychophysical data and implemented as a lookup table, to adjust image data based on ambient light levels, ensuring consistent color perception across different lighting conditions.

2Use of energy by moving object

If simple brightness adjustment algorithms are used to conserve computational resources, then energy consumption is reduced, but color perception accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy consumptionVSAvoidcolor perception accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the color perception adjustment process into three independent sub-models: hue model, tone model, and brightness model. Each sub-model processes specific aspects of color perception separately, allowing for optimized computational resource allocation and energy-efficient processing while maintaining high color perception accuracy through specialized handling of each parameter.

3Manufacturing precision

If complex color perception models are applied to maintain consistent color appearance across light conditions, then color perception consistency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor perception consistencyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex color perception model is segmented into three manageable sub-models (hue, tone, brightness), each handling a specific aspect of color perception. This segmentation reduces processing complexity by breaking down the overall task into smaller, more efficient components while maintaining comprehensive color perception consistency across varying ambient light conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
