Control Apparatus for Dynamic Image Superimposition Priority
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional video generation technologies fail to effectively prioritize and superimpose images based on user situations, leading to inconsistent visual experiences for users in multi-image displays.
Innovation Solution
A control apparatus that determines the image to be preferentially superimposed based on the situation of users, using a controller to analyze and adjust the size and positioning of three-dimensional models of users and objects in a virtual space, ensuring clear visibility of relevant images during virtual events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple images are superimposed without priority determination, then all images can be displayed simultaneously, but important images may be hidden by other images
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the superimposition order changeable and adaptive. The control device dynamically adjusts which image is superimposed on top based on detected user situations (e.g., gaze direction, body orientation). This allows the system to transition between different superimposition configurations rather than using a fixed order, ensuring important images remain visible while adapting to varying viewing conditions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed superimposition order is used, then control logic is simple, but visual experience is inconsistent for different users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by using detection devices to monitor user situations (gaze direction, body orientation, position) and using this information to adjust the superimposition order. The system continuously receives feedback about user viewing conditions and modifies the image display accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to individual user needs while maintaining manageable complexity through automated decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the superimposition order parameter based on detected user situation parameters. When the detection device identifies changes in user behavior (e.g., gaze direction, body orientation), the control device changes which image is displayed on top, effectively using parameter transformation to adapt the display to different viewing conditions without requiring complex manual intervention.
3Ease of operation
If manual adjustment of superimposition order is allowed, then users can control visibility, but operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically determine and adjust the superimposition order without requiring manual user intervention. The control device uses detection devices to monitor user situations and autonomously decides which image should be prioritized for visibility. This self-adjusting mechanism eliminates the time users would otherwise spend manually reconfiguring the display while maintaining ease of use through automated, situation-aware control.
Data Source
AI summary
A control apparatus includes a controller. The controller is configured to determine an image to be preferentially superimposed on one or more other images, based on a situation of a first user or a situation of a second user facing a display, when two or more images out of an image of the first user, an image of the second user, and an image of a predetermined object are superimposed and displayed on the display.
