AI-Based Display Rotation for Correct Image Orientation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display apparatuses struggle to correctly orient images with mismatched resolution information and actual image types, leading to interference in user viewing experiences as they often display vertical images as horizontal and vice versa.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus and control method that includes a processor to identify the type of an image based on objects within the image and adjust the display's orientation between horizontal and vertical states to match the image type, using image recognition algorithms and AI models to determine the correct orientation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display apparatus displays images based on resolution information alone, then the display can show any image regardless of orientation, but the image orientation does not match the actual content type causing viewing interference
Solution Approach 1:
The processor performs preliminary identification of the object type and orientation in the image before displaying it. By analyzing the image content in advance and determining whether it is horizontal or vertical type based on detected objects, the display apparatus can pre-rotate the display to the correct orientation, ensuring proper viewing experience from the start without requiring user intervention.
2Ease of operation
If the display apparatus rotates the display based on image type identification, then the image orientation matches the content type improving viewing experience, but the system complexity increases due to object recognition requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical or manual orientation adjustment mechanisms with an automated electronic system. The processor uses image recognition algorithms to automatically detect object orientation and control the driver to rotate the display accordingly, substituting what would otherwise require manual user intervention or complex mechanical sensing systems with a streamlined electronic control approach.
3Measurement precision
If the display apparatus uses object recognition to determine image type, then the image orientation accuracy improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The processor performs partial object recognition by focusing on identifying key orientation-indicative objects rather than analyzing every detail of the image. By detecting sufficient information to determine whether the image is horizontal or vertical type without exhaustive analysis, the system achieves accurate orientation determination while minimizing processing time and computational resource consumption.

AI summary
A display apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes: a display, a driver configured to rotate the display between a horizontal arrangement state in which a width of the display is greater than a height of the display, and a vertical arrangement state in which the height of the display is greater than the width of the display; and a processor configured to execute instructions to: identify an object included in an image, identify whether the image is an image of a horizontal type or an image of a vertical type based on the identified object, and based on an arrangement state of the display and the identified type of the image, control the driver to rotate the display.
