Dynamic Display for Image-Enabled Clothing Movement Obstruction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Image-enabled clothing articles face issues with display obstruction due to movement, leading to reduced visibility of images from the viewer's perspective, affecting camouflage effectiveness and dynamic advertising visibility.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing 5G enabled sensors and gyroscopes to determine movement and adjust the location or perspective of images displayed on image-enabled clothing articles, ensuring that images remain visible by shifting or reconfiguring display content based on sensor data and motion detection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If image content is displayed on a fixed area of the clothing article, then the display system is simple and static, but the image becomes obstructed when the clothing moves
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display adjustment by detecting clothing movement through sensors and automatically repositioning image content on the display. The system transitions from a static fixed-position display to a dynamic system that continuously adapts image location based on detected movement, ensuring images remain visible despite clothing motion.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms where sensors detect clothing article movement and this information is used to adjust image display position. The closed-loop control system continuously monitors movement and makes real-time adjustments to maintain image visibility, creating a responsive adaptive display system.
2Area of stationary object
If the display area is expanded to cover more surface, then image visibility is improved, but the complexity of managing display content across multiple areas increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display area into multiple segments or zones on the clothing article surface. By segmenting the display area, the system can independently control and manage content in different regions, making it easier to track which segments are visible and adjust content placement accordingly without managing the entire display area as a single complex unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds the dimension of spatial coordination by mapping display content positions to three-dimensional clothing article geometry. This involves coordinating display positions across multiple surfaces and angles of the clothing article, transforming a two-dimensional display problem into a three-dimensional spatial arrangement that accounts for clothing folds, seams, and body contours.
3Reliability
If real-time movement detection is implemented, then image obstruction can be compensated, but energy consumption and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements partial monitoring by focusing sensor detection and image adjustment only on critical movement parameters that actually affect image visibility. Rather than continuously analyzing all possible movement vectors, the system identifies and responds only to the minimum necessary movement thresholds that would cause obstruction, reducing processing energy while maintaining effectiveness.

AI summary
Systems and methods provide dynamic adjustment of content displayed on image-enabled clothing articles to address obstructed visibility of the content. In embodiments a method includes determining, by a computing device, movement of at least a portion of an image-enabled clothing article based on real-time sensor data from sensors of the image-enabled clothing article; determining, by the computing device, that a view of at least a portion of image content displayed on the image-enabled clothing article is obstructed based on the determined movement, parameters of the image-enabled clothing article and image display information of the image-enabled clothing article; and generating, by the computing device, image instructions that cause the display of the image content on the image-enabled clothing article to move from a first area of the image-enabled clothing article to a second area of the image-enabled clothing article.
