Automated Display Calibration via Image Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Different electronic displays have varying properties, leading to uncertainties in properly showing content, with some items potentially not being displayed at all, as users are often unaware of the adjustment functionalities available in connected devices or displays.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for automatically calibrating content on electronic displays by capturing images of calibration elements, comparing them to stored images, and adjusting the content based on detected positioning issues, using a processor and communication interfaces, allowing for wireless image capture and processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual adjustment functionality is provided for content calibration, then users can adjust content positioning, but users are typically unaware of this functionality and do not use it
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic calibration without requiring user knowledge or manual intervention. The calibration process is autonomous, with the system capturing images, analyzing positioning deviations, and adjusting content automatically based on detected calibration element positions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system captures images of calibration elements displayed on the electronic display, analyzes the positions of these elements, compares them against expected positions, and uses this feedback to automatically adjust content positioning. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables continuous improvement of display calibration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different electronic displays have varying properties, then displays can have different characteristics, but content is not properly shown on all displays
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically adjusts display parameters such as scaling factors and positioning offsets based on the detected positions of calibration elements. By changing these parameters dynamically for different displays, the system adapts content to match each display's specific characteristics while maintaining proper positioning accuracy.
3Manufacturing precision
If calibration adjustments are made manually, then content can be properly positioned, but the process requires user awareness and intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment operations with an automated image processing and analysis system. Instead of requiring users to manually adjust settings, the system uses image capture, computer vision, and automated parameter adjustment to achieve precise content positioning.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques are disclosed for automatically calibrating content shown on an electronic display. According to certain embodiments, a picture of the display is taken while a calibration image is shown on the display. The picture is then analyzed to determine whether any adjustments need to be made. The analysis can, for example, include a comparison between the picture of the calibration image and a stored calibration image. If it is determined an adjustment needs to be made to correct how content is shown on the display, an adjustment is made accordingly.
