Dynamic Video Display Adjustment for Age-Related Vision Compensation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video display technologies fail to effectively adjust brightness, vibrancy, and color temperature to account for the aging process in human vision, leading to suboptimal viewing experiences, especially in extended viewing scenarios like gaming or video content consumption, where the 'red shift' phenomenon reduces color discrimination and contrast sensitivity.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that dynamically adjust video presentation parameters such as brightness, vibrancy, and color temperature based on the viewer's age, using a combination of biometric data from facial images and loyalty program data to enhance color perception by increasing blue and green vibrancy and shifting colors towards the red spectrum for older viewers, while also considering ambient lighting conditions.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If video display parameters are adjusted to enhance color vibrancy and brightness, then color perception is improved, but the original content design intent is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts video display parameters (brightness, color temperature, vibrancy) based on detected ambient lighting conditions and viewer demographics. This allows the display to adapt its parameters in real-time, enhancing color perception in dim environments while preserving original content design in appropriate conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system transitions from static parameter settings to dynamic adjustment based on ambient light sensors and viewer age detection. The system continuously monitors environmental conditions and automatically modifies display characteristics, enabling adaptive optimization between color enhancement and content fidelity preservation.
2Measurement precision
If color temperature is increased to improve brightness perception, then visual acuity is enhanced, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs ambient light sensors to continuously monitor environmental lighting conditions and provides feedback to the display controller. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts color temperature and brightness levels, increasing visual acuity in dim environments while reducing energy consumption in well-lit conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The display dynamically modifies its operating parameters (color temperature, brightness) based on detected ambient light levels. This allows the system to optimize visual acuity when needed while minimizing energy consumption during normal viewing conditions.
3Measurement precision
If display parameters are customized for individual viewers based on age, then color discrimination is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects viewer age through facial recognition technology and applies appropriate display parameter adjustments without requiring manual user input. This self-service approach improves color discrimination for older viewers while minimizing the complexity burden on users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual parameter adjustment mechanisms with automated age-based detection and adjustment algorithms. This substitution of mechanical/user-driven systems with automated sensing and processing improves color discrimination while managing system complexity through intelligent automation.

AI summary
A system, method and apparatus are set forth which adjusts one or more of the brightness, vibrancy and color shift of displayed content based upon the at least approximate age of the viewer. At a display (15) the user's age is at least approximated by accessing an established user data file (835, 837) containing age determining data and/or capturing a facial image (804) of the user and processing the same to determine at least the approximate age of the user. Based upon the age determination the brightness, vibrancy and/or color shift may be adjusted to account for the effects of the aging of the human eye. User overrides (900, 902, 904) may be provided for the user to alter or turn off the adjustments. Adjustment of the brightness, vibrancy and/or color shift may also take into account ambient light conditions.
