Display Apparatus Overlaying External Imaging Ranges
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display systems, particularly those using Augmented Reality (AR) techniques, face challenges in effectively overlaying the imaging range of external devices like surveillance cameras or drones onto a user's field of vision, making it difficult for users to understand the positional relationship and coverage areas without obstructing their view or requiring complex setup.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus and method that acquires images and range information from both the user's device and external imaging devices, processing this data to superimpose the imaging range information onto the user's field of view, allowing for clear visualization of the coverage areas without obstructing the view, using a combination of GPS, sensors, and communication units for accurate positioning and image processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If imaging range information is overlaid onto the user's field of vision, then users can visually understand the coverage areas, but the view may be obstructed
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging range information is overlaid only on the corresponding area within the user's field of vision rather than covering the entire view. This localized overlay approach ensures that information is presented where needed without obstructing the overall view, allowing users to understand coverage areas while maintaining situational awareness.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple imaging devices are integrated, then comprehensive coverage information is achieved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple imaging devices are merged into a unified system where their imaging range information is collected, processed, and overlaid together on the user's field of vision. This combination approach provides comprehensive coverage information from multiple sources while managing complexity through integrated processing and a single overlay interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is designed to work with multiple types of imaging devices (surveillance cameras, drones, etc.) through a universal interface that standardizes how imaging range information is acquired, processed, and displayed. This multi-functionality allows the system to handle diverse devices without proportionally increasing complexity.
3Measurement precision
If accurate positioning and image processing are performed, then precise imaging range information is obtained, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs accurate positioning and image processing only to the extent necessary to determine the imaging range information that needs to be overlaid. By calculating only the essential parameters for range determination rather than performing exhaustive processing, the system achieves sufficient precision while controlling power consumption in portable devices.

AI summary
A display apparatus includes an image acquisition unit to acquire a first image by imaging, an information acquisition unit to acquire first imaging range information including information on a first imaging, range of the imaging acquired by the image acquisition unit, and a communication unit, to perform communication to acquire, from an external device acquiring a second image by imaging, second imaging range information including information on a second imaging range of the imaging acquired by the external device. The display apparatus also includes a controller to acquire an area included in the first imaging range and the second imaging range as a corresponding range, and a display controller to generate display information indicative of the corresponding range, and a display to display the display information.
