Display Apparatus Visual Adaptation Using Camera-Based Pattern Clustering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display apparatuses often visually stand out from their surroundings, creating a noticeable difference that can disrupt the aesthetic experience, especially when they are not designed to blend in with their environment.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus equipped with a camera, communicator, and processor that captures an image of the display apparatus and its surroundings, identifies the display apparatus, analyzes patterns and colors, clusters similar colors, and generates an image that matches the surrounding environment, allowing the display apparatus to output this image, thus creating a seamless visual experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a display apparatus is placed in a room, then it can provide display functions, but it creates a visual difference from the surrounding area
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing images of the surrounding environment before generating the background image, analyzes patterns and colors in advance, and prepares the customized background content that matches the room's aesthetic characteristics
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the color characteristics of the displayed background image to match the surrounding environment by clustering colors from the captured image and applying them to the background pattern, making the display apparatus visually blend with the room
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display apparatus outputs a standard background image, then it maintains simple control, but it does not match the surrounding area aesthetically
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a copy of the surrounding environment's visual characteristics by capturing the room's appearance through a camera, extracting its pattern and color features, and reproducing these characteristics in the displayed background image
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of the background image (pattern type, color distribution, color ratios) based on the analyzed characteristics of the surrounding environment, dynamically adjusting the display output to match the room's aesthetic properties
3Device complexity
If the display apparatus blends into the surroundings, then users experience visual cohesion, but it requires complex image analysis and generation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically capturing the surrounding environment, analyzing its visual characteristics, generating a matching background image, and displaying it without requiring user intervention or manual configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual visual assessment and adjustment with automated image processing algorithms that detect patterns, cluster colors, and generate matching backgrounds through computational analysis

AI summary
An electronic apparatus includes a communicator, a camera, and a processor configured to obtain an image including a display apparatus through the camera, identify the display apparatus from the image, analyze at least one pattern of the remaining areas excluding an area corresponding to the display apparatus in the image, and obtain a pattern corresponding to the image based on patterns included in the image by ratios equal to or greater than a predetermined ratio among the at least one pattern, cluster the colors of the remaining areas into at least one color, and control the communicator such that an image generated by applying the at least one clustered color to the obtained pattern is output at the display apparatus.
