Solution Overview

Problem

Existing projection image displaying methods are inconvenient for users due to the scattered or concentrated arrangement of operation objects, leading to difficulties in operation and potential mis clicks.

Innovation Solution

A display method that adjusts the distance and position of operation objects based on the relative relationship between the user and the display supporter, dynamically changing the layout to optimize object placement for easier interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple operation objects are arranged on a large display supporter, then the display area is sufficient for each object, but users need to move back and forth to operate different objects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoiduser operation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic layout adjustment by detecting user position and automatically repositioning operation objects based on real-time user coordinates. The system transitions from a static display layout to a dynamic one where object positions are continuously adjusted according to user location, eliminating the need for users to physically move to different areas of the display supporter.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an image acquisition device and processing system as an intermediary between the user and the display objects. This intermediary detects user position and mediates the interaction by automatically adjusting object positions, serving as a bridge that eliminates the need for direct physical movement between user and distant display objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If multiple operation objects are gathered together in the displayed image, then user movement is reduced, but users may falsely click the wrong button

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser operation convenienceVSAvoidclick accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality adjustment by gathering operation objects when users are close to the display supporter and scattering them when users are far away. The system dynamically modifies the local arrangement of objects based on user distance, ensuring appropriate density and spacing for each operational context, thereby preventing both excessive movement and false clicking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Area of moving object

If operation objects are scattered on the display supporter, then each object has sufficient display area, but the distance between objects is too large requiring user movement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject display areaVSAvoiddistance between objects
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the distance between operation objects based on real-time user position detection. When users approach the display supporter, the system reduces inter-object distance; when users are far away, it maintains larger distances. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by making the distance parameter adaptive rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A display method and apparatus and an electronic device are provided, in which a second image is displayed in accordance with a relative relationship between a user and a displaying supporter, i.e., the distance between a first operation object and a second operation object in a first image is different from that in a second image, in the case that the relative relationship satisfies a first preset condition. Therefore, when the distance between the operation objects is too small, the distance between the operation objects is enlarged and then the operation objects are displayed in the second image. When the distance between the operation objects is too large, the distance between the operation objects is reduced and then the operation objects are displayed in the second image. Therefore, the distance between the operation objects changes with the relative relationship between the user and the displaying supporter.
