Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices struggle to provide an optimal viewing experience as content displayed on the screen can interfere with the real-world environment, leading to discomfort due to similar colors making objects invisible or difficult to view.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method and electronic device that acquires a second image of the environment, analyzes its display parameters, and adjusts the display content's parameters to create a significant difference, ensuring the content stands out visually by adjusting color, brightness, or saturation, and allows users to adjust the display content's size via gestures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If display content is shown on the display unit, then information can be presented to the user, but the display content may interfere with the reality environment making objects invisible or uncomfortable to view

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisibility of display contentVSAvoidinterference with reality environment
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts display parameters (brightness, contrast, color temperature) based on the captured reality environment. By changing these parameters in real-time, the system ensures display content remains visible while minimizing interference with the viewed environment, thus resolving the contradiction between information presentation and environmental harmony.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system captures images of the reality environment, analyzes the luminance and color characteristics, and uses this feedback to automatically adjust display parameters. This closed-loop feedback mechanism allows the display to adapt to environmental conditions, preventing interference while maintaining visibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If display parameters are adjusted to match the environment, then comfort is improved, but the display content becomes hard to distinguish from the background

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing comfortVSAvoiddistinguishability of display content
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adjusts specific display parameters (brightness, contrast, color temperature) to achieve an optimal balance. Rather than uniformly matching the environment, it modifies parameters to maintain distinguishability while improving comfort, resolving the contradiction between these two requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual adjustment of display parameters is allowed, then user preference can be accommodated, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser preference adaptationVSAvoidadjustment operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic environmental adaptation without requiring user intervention. It captures the environment, analyzes characteristics, and adjusts display parameters autonomously, eliminating complex manual operations while maintaining adaptability to user needs through intelligent algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses environmental feedback to automatically configure display parameters, replacing complex manual adjustment processes with intelligent automatic adaptation that responds to real-time environmental conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The disclosure discloses an information processing method and an electronic device. The information processing method comprises: acquiring a second image; analyzing the second image to determine a second display parameter of the second image; determining, based on the second display parameter of the second image, a first display parameter of the display content to be presented, so as to make the difference between the first display parameter of the display content and the second display parameter of the second image greater than a threshold; and presenting the display content with the first display parameter.
