Dynamic Object Information Display Control to Prevent Visual Obscuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing presentation techniques often obscure real objects in images by overlaying detailed information, making it difficult for users to visually recognize and understand the information presented, especially when the area ratio of presented information exceeds a threshold in relation to the image size.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that detects objects in images, identifies their attributes, and dynamically adjusts the presentation method based on the detection state, ensuring that the presented information is displayed in a manner that does not obscure the object, by changing the area ratio of the presentation region or using specific presentation conditions set by the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If detailed attribute information is superimposed on the captured image, then information completeness is improved, but visual recognition of the real object deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the information presentation into two distinct segments: brief information (e.g., name) is displayed as annotation close to the object, while detailed information is displayed as notification in a separate region. This segmentation prevents detailed information from obscuring the real object while still providing complete information access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional superimposition of all information near the object to a multi-regional layout where brief information is positioned close to the object and detailed information is placed in a separate notification region. This spatial reorganization in another dimension resolves the conflict between information completeness and visual clarity.
2Loss of information
If multiple types of information are displayed on the same screen, then information accessibility is improved, but information clarity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different display qualities to different types of information: brief information is displayed with higher prominence close to the object for quick recognition, while detailed information is displayed in a separate notification region with distinct styling. This local differentiation maintains information accessibility while improving overall clarity.
3Ease of operation
If annotation is displayed close to the object, then information visibility is improved, but object recognition deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments information into brief annotation displayed close to the object and detailed notification displayed in a separate region. This segmentation ensures that only essential brief information appears near the object, maintaining both information visibility and object recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by displaying only brief information (not all detailed information) close to the object. This selective display maintains object recognition while providing essential information visibility, with the remaining detailed information available in the notification region.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes detecting a predetermined object from a captured image, identifying an attribute of the detected object, determining a presentation method of presented information representing the attribute based on a detection state of the detected object, displaying the presented information and the captured image based on the determined presentation method.
