Display Terminal Area Selection for Wide-View Speech Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Displaying a wide-view image captured by an image capturing apparatus, such as a 360-degree image, is challenging due to its curvature, making it difficult for users to identify the specific area of interest during playback, especially when multiple users are viewing different areas within the image.
Innovation Solution
A display terminal and communication system that includes circuitry to manage and display predetermined areas of a wide-view image, allowing users to select and view specific areas corresponding to different recording durations, with associated text data for improved understanding of user speeches during playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the entire wide-view image is displayed by a display terminal, then the complete 360-degree view is shown, but the image becomes curved and difficult for users to view
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the entire wide-view image into multiple predetermined areas, each displayed separately on different display terminals. This segmentation allows users to view specific regions of interest without dealing with the curvature issue of displaying the complete 360-degree view, resolving the contradiction between showing complete information and maintaining viewing comfort.
2Ease of operation
If different predetermined areas are displayed to different users, then each user can view their area of interest, but it becomes difficult to grasp which area other users were viewing during playback
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information management system as an intermediary that manages and associates metadata with each predetermined area. This metadata includes information about which user was viewing which area during recording. During playback, this information is transmitted to display terminals, allowing users to understand the context of what other users were viewing without disrupting the individualized viewing experience.
3Reliability
If speech text is displayed without associated area information, then speech content is preserved, but users cannot understand the relationship between speech and the specific area being viewed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges speech text information with predetermined area information by associating them through metadata in the information management system. During playback, both the speech text and the corresponding predetermined area are displayed together on the display terminal, allowing users to understand both what was said and which area was being viewed, thus preserving both speech accuracy and spatial context.

AI summary
A display terminal for playing back a predetermined area of a wide-view image that is recorded, includes: a display to display a first display area and a second display area, the first display area being related to a first recording duration in which a speech is made when a first predetermined area of the wide-view image is being displayed by a first display terminal, the second display area being related to a second recording duration in which a speech is made when a second predetermined area of the wide-view image is being displayed by the first display terminal; and circuitry that receives selection of the second display area during display of a first predetermined-area image, and controls the display to display a second predetermined-area image in response to receipt of selection of the second display area.
