Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display systems struggle to effectively process images from multiple image sources due to limitations in processing capabilities, leading to inconsistent or incomplete reflection of operations on the display surface.

Innovation Solution

A control method for a display system that involves acquiring and arranging images, performing processing based on operation information, and generating and displaying display images, utilizing a control device to manage and enhance image processing across multiple image sources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple image sources are used to display images on a display surface, then the display versatility and functionality are improved, but the processing capability and consistency of operations across different image sources deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay versatilityVSAvoidprocessing consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A control device is introduced as an intermediary between multiple image sources and the display device. The control device receives operation information from the display surface, identifies which image source should be processed, and coordinates the processing across different image sources to ensure consistent and reliable operation reflection on the display surface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If processing is performed on images from multiple image sources, then the processing capability is improved, but the ability to reflect operations accurately deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing capabilityVSAvoidoperation reflection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The control device implements a feedback mechanism where operation information from the display surface is used to identify and process specific image sources. The control device monitors which image source corresponds to the operation and ensures accurate processing and reflection of operations on the display surface, maintaining precision while handling multiple image sources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A control method for a display system includes: causing a control device to generate a first display image in which a captured image acquired by a projector and an APP image are arranged; causing the projector to display the first display image; causing the control device to perform processing on the first display image, based on operation information representing an operation to the first display image, and thus generate a second display image; and causing the projector to display the second display image.
