Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wearable devices with low image processing capabilities struggle to display high-resolution moving images efficiently due to insufficient display and network performance, leading to increased processing load and difficulty in maintaining a clear view of the intended target.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device adjusts image data based on the performance of a connected external device, cropping and resizing images to fit the display capabilities of the wearable device, reducing the processing load by generating and transmitting optimized image data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If high-resolution moving images are transmitted to wearable devices, then image quality is improved, but processing load and network bandwidth requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The image processing device performs cropping, resolution adjustment, and compression of images before transmission to the wearable device. By preparing and optimizing the image data in advance according to the display device's specifications, the processing load is shifted from the wearable device to the dedicated image processing device, thus improving image quality without overwhelming the wearable device's processing capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts image parameters such as resolution, format, and compression level based on the specific capabilities of the wearable device's display and processing unit. By matching image parameters to the actual performance characteristics of the target device, optimal image quality is achieved within the constraints of the device's processing and network bandwidth
2Productivity
If image data is optimized for low-performance displays, then processing load is reduced, but image quality and detail visibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The image processing device identifies and preserves critical visual information such as the main subject or target object in the image, while allowing less important background areas to be compressed or simplified. This selective quality preservation ensures that the most important visual elements remain clear and recognizable even when the overall image resolution is reduced for the wearable device
3Loss of information
If full-resolution images are transmitted, then complete information is provided, but network bandwidth and transmission time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and transmits only the essential visual information required for the user's needs, such as the main subject or key elements of the scene, while omitting or compressing redundant background details. This selective extraction reduces the amount of data transmitted over the network while preserving the most important information for the user
Data Source
AI summary
An image processing device includes a data transmitter/receiver and at least one processor. The processor obtains first data of a continuous first image, obtains performance information of a display of a first external device that displays a second image based on the first image, generates, from the first data, second data of the second image in accordance with the performance information, and outputs the second data to the first external device through the data transmitter/receiver.
