Display Processing Device for Multi-Camera Image Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When multiple cameras in a vehicle capture moving images simultaneously, it is difficult to select and reproduce the desired images as existing methods do not allow easy confirmation of the contents of the images, making it challenging to choose the correct image frames.
Innovation Solution
A display processing device and method that combines moving images from multiple cameras and allows users to interact with a touch panel to select and display specific images based on input operations, enabling easy confirmation of desired image contents by generating a combined moving image and allowing display of individual images with different modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple moving images are reproduced using file names, then the reproduction process is simple, but it is difficult to confirm the contents and select the desired moving image
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a combined moving image that serves as a visual copy or representation of multiple individual moving images. This combined image allows users to see thumbnails or preview content of all individual images simultaneously, enabling informed selection without needing to open each file individually. The combined moving image acts as an information copy that preserves visibility of all source images' contents.
2Loss of information
If a combined moving image is displayed showing all individual images, then the user can easily confirm contents, but the display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The combined moving image is segmented into multiple regions, with each region displaying a thumbnail or preview of an individual moving image. This segmentation allows the system to present multiple images in an organized grid or layout format, making the complex information manageable and visually accessible without overwhelming the display. Each segment represents a discrete source image while collectively forming a comprehensive overview.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from displaying individual moving images in a single dimension (one at a time) to displaying them in multiple dimensions simultaneously through the combined moving image. By arranging thumbnails in a spatial grid layout within the combined image, the system effectively adds a spatial dimension to the display, allowing users to compare multiple images at once without increasing temporal complexity.
3Measurement precision
If individual moving images are selected from multiple sources, then the specific image can be reproduced, but the selection process becomes time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-generating and displaying the combined moving image that contains thumbnails or previews of all individual moving images before the user makes a selection. This preliminary visualization allows users to quickly scan and identify the desired image based on its content representation, eliminating the need to open or preview each image individually. The combined image serves as a pre-prepared index that accelerates the selection process while maintaining accurate identification.

AI summary
A display processing device includes a moving image generation unit, a display control unit, and an input detection unit. The moving image generation unit generates a combined moving image that is a moving image combined from a plurality of moving images. The input detection unit detects an input operation performed on the input device that receives the input operation for inputting at least one of a position on the combined moving image displayed on a display device and a direction based on the combined moving image. The display control unit allows the display device to display a moving image that is based on, among the plurality of moving images constituting the combined moving image, one or more moving images according to the input detected by the input detection unit, and that has a display mode different from at least the combined moving image.
