Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image display devices lack flexibility in frame position and shape adjustment, limiting the degree of freedom in image presentation and decoration.
Innovation Solution
A display method and device that receive user input to determine combinations of partial images from candidate sets, allowing these images to be displayed along the outline of a main image, enabling flexible image composition and decoration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the frame width is variably controlled by changing the non-image display region width, then the image presentation flexibility is improved, but the frame position and shape adjustment capability remains limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the decoration image into multiple partial images (first partial image, second partial image, etc.) that can be independently selected and combined. This segmentation allows flexible frame position and shape adjustment by choosing different combinations of partial images, resolving the contradiction between presentation flexibility and adjustment capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic frame configuration by allowing real-time selection and combination of different partial images based on user input. The frame position and shape can be dynamically adjusted through operation reception, transforming a static frame structure into a dynamic, adaptable system.
2Device complexity
If the frame position and shape are fixed due to device structure, then the device complexity is reduced, but the degree of freedom in image presentation and decoration is limited
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the decoration image into multiple selectable partial images, the patent maintains relatively simple device structure while achieving high adaptability. The fixed physical structure is complemented by software-based selection mechanisms that enable diverse frame configurations without complex hardware modifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of frame position and shape through selection of different partial image combinations rather than physically reconfiguring the device structure. This allows maintaining simple hardware while achieving variable frame configurations through parameter selection.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple candidate images are provided for selection, then the customization option is improved, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the customization process into clear steps: displaying candidate images, receiving selection operations, and combining selected partial images. This segmentation makes the operation more manageable despite having multiple candidates, as users interact with structured options rather than a complex selection system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent prepares multiple candidate partial images in advance and organizes them for selection. By pre-preparing the options and structuring the selection interface, the patent reduces the operational burden on users while maintaining extensive customization capabilities.

AI summary
A projector receives, via a first selection image, an operation of determining a first combination of partial images including one of a plurality of first candidate images that are candidates for a partial image in a first region and one of a plurality of second candidate images that are candidates for a partial image in a second region, and displays a decoration image including the partial image in the first region and the partial image in the second region corresponding to the first combination and disposed along an outline of a content image.
