Solution Overview

Problem

Line-of-sight deviation and non-focus issues during interactions using teleprompters significantly reduce interaction efficiency in intelligent terminal interactions.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for adjusting the line-of-sight angle of a user's facial image to a target angle using a line-of-sight angle adjustment model, which processes facial images to ensure the line-of-sight is aligned with the camera, improving interaction efficiency by displaying the adjusted image to clients.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a teleprompter is used to display text for anchor users, then interaction efficiency is improved, but line-of-sight deviation and non-focus occur reducing interaction effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoidinteraction effect
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects facial images in real-time, detects line-of-sight angles, compares them with target angles, and dynamically adjusts the display content or notifies users when line-of-sight deviation occurs. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures the anchor user maintains proper eye contact with the camera while reading teleprompter content, resolving the contradiction between interaction efficiency and interaction effect

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual monitoring and adjustment of line-of-sight with an automated image processing system. The system uses facial recognition algorithms and angle calculation to automatically detect and correct line-of-sight deviation, eliminating the need for manual intervention while maintaining natural eye contact appearance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If line-of-sight angle adjustment is performed on facial images, then interaction effect is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction effectVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image processing system divides the facial image into key components (eyes, pupils, facial landmarks) and processes each segment independently to calculate line-of-sight angles. This segmentation approach simplifies the overall processing complexity by breaking down the complex task of line-of-sight detection into manageable sub-tasks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects facial features, calculates line-of-sight angles, and determines adjustment requirements without external intervention. The self-service nature of the automated detection and adjustment process reduces operational complexity while maintaining high interaction effect

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
