Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices struggle to efficiently display a secondary video synchronized with and expanded from a primary video on an external device, often resulting in overlapping or distorted projections.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a communication circuit, projection assembly, and processor scans the primary video, identifies the time required to generate a secondary video, and displays it partially overlapping the primary video with a black area using a projection assembly, providing a notification when the time elapses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a secondary video is displayed expanded from the primary video on an external device, then the display coverage is improved, but the projection may overlap or distort when displayed on the same surface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay coverageVSAvoidprojection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The display surface is divided into two distinct projection areas: a first projection area for the primary video and a second projection area for the secondary video. The second projection area is positioned adjacent to the first projection area, allowing both videos to be displayed without overlapping or distorting each other, thus resolving the contradiction between expanded display coverage and projection accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The secondary video is projected in a different spatial dimension (adjacent area) rather than overlapping the primary video area. This dimensional separation allows both videos to coexist on the same display surface without interference, achieving expanded coverage while maintaining projection precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the secondary video is displayed using a projection assembly, then the display versatility is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay versatilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The projection assembly is configured to display both the primary video and the secondary video, making it a multi-functional component. This universal design allows the same hardware to handle multiple display tasks without requiring separate projection systems, thus improving display versatility while controlling device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The functionality to display both primary and secondary videos is merged into a single projection assembly system. By combining the control and projection functions for both videos into one integrated system, the patent achieves enhanced versatility without proportionally increasing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

An electronic device is provided. A processor of the electronic device may cause the electronic device to obtain first information for a first video displayable through a display of an external electronic device, from the external electronic device using a communication circuit. The processor may cause the electronic device to execute a scan on the first video using a plurality of images in the first video. may cause the electronic device to identify a time to be spent to obtain second information for displaying a second video expanded from the first video to be displayed through the display of the external electronic device, based on the scan. The disclosure relates to a metaverse service for enhancing interconnectivity between a real object and a virtual object. For example, the metaverse service is provided through a network based on fifth generation (5G) and/or sixth generation (6G).
