Display Image Appearance Consistency via Environment-Aware Metadata
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies struggle to maintain the appropriate appearance of display images for image content across varying viewing environments without requiring user intervention.
Innovation Solution
A reception apparatus and method that includes a reception unit for receiving image content and a processing unit for performing image quality adjustment based on metadata generated from viewing environment information, ensuring the display image appears as intended by the producer regardless of environmental changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If image content is displayed without adjustment, then the display is simple and quick, but the appearance of the display image becomes inappropriate under varying viewing environments
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring viewing environment information (light brightness, light color, wall color) before displaying the image content, and pre-processes the image data according to the detected environment to ensure appropriate appearance without requiring real-time user intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The display device automatically adjusts the image content based on the detected viewing environment information, making the system self-sufficient in adapting to environmental changes without requiring external user input or manual calibration
2Reliability
If manual adjustment is required for each viewing environment, then the display image appearance can be optimized, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to user intervention requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The display device automatically detects viewing environment information using its sensors and autonomously adjusts the image content accordingly, completely eliminating the need for manual user operation while maintaining optimized appearance quality across different environments
3Reliability
If image quality adjustment processing is performed based on viewing environment information, then the appearance of display image is maintained appropriately, but the processing time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system acquires viewing environment information and performs image quality adjustment processing before the actual display occurs, so that when the image is presented to the user, the adjustment is already complete and no additional processing time is perceived
Solution Approach 2:
The display device continuously monitors viewing environment information and maintains continuous image quality adjustment processing, ensuring that the appearance consistency is preserved throughout the viewing period without requiring re-adjustment or causing interruptions

AI summary
The appearance of a display image of image content is made appropriate without particular user operation irrespective of viewing environment changes. A reception unit receives image content. A processing unit performs image quality adjustment processing on the received image content on the basis of metadata for image quality adjustment depending on viewing environment information. For example, the reception unit transmits the viewing environment information to a server and receives the metadata from the server. Further, for example, a metadata generation unit configured to generate the metadata on the basis of the viewing environment information is provided.
