Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies fail to interactively adjust images based on viewer movements, leading to unclear details even when the viewer moves forward or tilts their body, as they lack functionality to enlarge desired details.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus comprising a video signal input, position measuring means, and image processing means that adjusts displayed images by collecting position information before and after viewer movement, using an eye tracker to detect focused areas, and enlarging or adjusting field depth to enhance clarity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the viewer moves forward or tilts body forward to view details, then the viewer can see objects more clearly, but the viewer cannot see small details clearly when the definition is too low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetail clarityVSAvoidinteraction function
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display system dynamically adjusts the image by detecting viewer position changes and automatically enlarging the displayed content in real-time, transforming a static display into a dynamic interactive system that adapts to viewer movements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses position measuring means to detect viewer position and feeds this information back to the image processing means, which then adjusts the display accordingly, creating a closed-loop feedback system that enables automatic image enlargement based on viewer behavior

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If no interaction function is provided for enlarging details, then the display system remains simple, but the ambience of the viewer becomes weak

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction functionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system performs automatic image enlargement without requiring manual user input, using position measuring means to detect viewer movements and automatically adjusting the display, making the system self-serve the viewer's needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical interaction (viewer physically moving closer) with an automated electronic system that detects position and automatically enlarges images, substituting mechanical viewer action with electronic automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If the definition of the displayed picture is increased, then small details can be viewed clearly, but the image size becomes larger requiring more space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepicture definitionVSAvoiddisplay area
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality enhancement by enlarging only the specific region of interest that the viewer is focusing on, rather than enlarging the entire image, thus maintaining high detail clarity in the focused area while keeping the overall display area efficient

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for adjusting displayed picture, comprising a video signal input means, a position measuring means, an image processing means and a video signal output means. Embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a display apparatus comprising the above apparatus for adjusting the displayed picture and a display method thereof. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a position being concerned by viewer's eyes on the display screen is enlarged or a field depth of the position being concerned by the eyes on the display screen is increased when the viewer moves forward or tilts his/her body forward, such that the viewer can view the displayed picture more clearly, thus achieving an interaction between the displayed picture and the viewer.
