Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices face high processing loads when optimizing resolution and frame rate for object recognition, leading to potential continuous high load states and increased power consumption.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a processing section that adjusts its conditions based on whether the taken image data is displayed, allowing for optimized processing by switching between different operation modes for imaging and processing, including varying resolution and frame rate, and reducing data transmission load.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the device uses video data with the highest resolution and frame rate for object recognition optimization, then the recognition accuracy is improved, but the processing load increases continuously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject recognition accuracyVSAvoidprocessing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the imaging conditions adjustable and switchable based on operational needs. The imaging section can switch between different operation modes (high resolution/high frame rate vs. low resolution/low frame rate) depending on whether display output is required, allowing the system to adapt its processing load dynamically to actual needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the video data by selecting different operation modes of the imaging section. When display is not required, the system uses lower resolution and lower frame rate parameters for object recognition, reducing processing load while maintaining recognition functionality. When display is required, higher quality parameters are used.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If the device processes image data with high resolution and high frame rate, then the image quality is improved, but the power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts its operational parameters based on whether display output is needed. The imaging section switches between high-quality mode (when display is required) and low-power mode (when display is not required), optimizing the balance between image quality and power consumption in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system serves itself by automatically selecting appropriate operation modes based on the display requirement state. The control section determines whether display is needed and autonomously configures the imaging section's resolution and frame rate parameters, eliminating the need for manual intervention and optimizing power usage automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If the device maintains high imaging conditions continuously, then the recognition performance is maintained, but the processing load cannot be suppressed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition performanceVSAvoidprocessing load
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs periodic action by switching between different operation modes based on periodic assessment of display requirements. Rather than maintaining high imaging conditions continuously, the system activates high-resolution mode only when display is needed, otherwise using lower resolution mode, thus periodically adjusting resources to match actual demands.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

A display device includes an image display section adapted to display an image so as to be able to be visually recognized together with an outside view, a camera, and a control section adapted to process taken image data of the camera, and the control section selects a mode as a processing condition, which corresponds to whether or not display is performed in the image display section based on taken image data, to process the taken image data.
