Electronic Device Image Stabilization via Sensor Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face issues with visual fatigue due to the shaking of images received from external devices when controlled through quick movements, as the physical movement of the device causes the image to shake, leading to problematic visual experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with communication circuits, sensors, and a touchscreen display that receives image data from an external device and stabilizes the image display by maintaining it in a designated reference direction despite physical movements, using data from sensors to adjust the image orientation and control the external device accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the electronic device is controlled based on quick physical movement, then the responsiveness and ease of operation are improved, but the image stability deteriorates causing visual fatigue
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by detecting physical movement through sensors and pre-compensating for its adverse effects on image stability. The processor calculates compensation values based on sensor data and adjusts the image display parameters in advance to counteract the shaking effect, thereby maintaining image stability while preserving the responsiveness to user input
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the physical movement of the electronic device through sensors and using this information to dynamically adjust the image display. The processor receives sensor data, determines the degree of shaking, and applies real-time compensation to maintain image stability, creating a closed-loop control system that responds to actual device movement
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the image is stabilized during physical movement, then visual fatigue is reduced, but the device complexity increases due to additional sensors and processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies self-service by utilizing the electronic device's existing sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope) that are already present for other functions. Rather than adding dedicated stabilization hardware, the system repurposes existing components to detect movement and automatically compensate for image shaking, thereby reducing visual fatigue without significantly increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements universality by making the existing sensors serve multiple functions - they are used both for standard device operations and for image stabilization. The sensor data is processed to achieve dual purposes: controlling device orientation and compensating for image shaking, thereby eliminating the need for separate dedicated stabilization components
