Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to provide an interactive presentation with reality by accurately identifying the imaging range and controlling the display state of an image, leading to deviations from real-world scenarios and limiting interactive presentations.

Innovation Solution

A display control system that includes a terminal device with an imaging unit, a display device, and a control device, which identifies the imaging range using machine learning and location information to control the display state in real-time, allowing objects to appear or disappear from the image based on the identified range.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the character continues to be projected on the screen after capture, then the display device can maintain continuous projection, but the presentation deviates from the real-world situation where captured objects disappear

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresentation accuracyVSAvoidinteractive reality experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes the display state of the character based on capture status. When captured, the character disappears from the screen; when not captured, the character remains projected. This dynamic adjustment creates an immersive interactive experience that reflects real-world behavior.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system only determines capture success without identifying imaging range, then the system complexity is reduced, but interactive presentations cannot be performed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive presentation capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the image into a plurality of regions along the width direction and identifies the imaging range by determining which regions correspond to the captured area. This segmentation approach enables precise control of display content within specific regions without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system preliminarily divides the display image into multiple regions before capture analysis. This pre-segmentation allows the system to quickly identify which regions should be modified based on capture status, enabling rapid interactive responses without complex real-time calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If marking information is embedded in the projected character image, then the management server can identify the character type, but the imaging range of the terminal device cannot be identified when the character is not included

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimaging range identification accuracyVSAvoidimaging range information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different identification methods to different regions of the image. For regions containing characters with marking information, traditional character recognition is used. For regions without characters, the system uses alternative methods to identify imaging range based on the captured image content and spatial relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

To provide a display control system in which a terminal device and a display device operate in tandem. The display control system comprises a terminal device 10 having an image-capture unit, a display device 50 for displaying video, and a control device 20 for controlling the display device 50. The terminal device 10 or the control device 20 identifies a capture range in video displayed by the display device 50 on the basis of an image captured by the image-capture unit. The control device 50 controls the display state of the video displayed by the display device 50 on the basis of the identified capture range. This configuration allows for interactive special effects such as making an object in the capture range of the terminal device 10 disappear from the video or making objects in the capture range of the terminal device 10 appear in the video.
