Head-Mounted Display Automatic Image Sharing via Subject Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The operation to specify an imaging device to share images while watching an event is cumbersome, causing users difficulty in focusing on the event.
Innovation Solution
A head-mounted display (HMD) system that includes an imaging device and processors to detect a target subject, acquire images from an external apparatus, and display these images based on detection results, reducing user intervention.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user manually specifies an imaging device to share images, then the image sharing function can be achieved, but the operation becomes troublesome and the user cannot focus on the event
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the target subject and acquires images from external apparatus without requiring user operation. The HMD performs self-service by autonomously completing the image sharing process based on detection results, eliminating the need for manual device specification.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical operation of specifying an imaging device is replaced by an automated detection and acquisition system. The system uses detection units to identify target subjects and automatically retrieves images from external apparatus, substituting human operation with automated technological processes.
2Ease of operation
If the system automatically detects target subjects and acquires images, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The HMD system performs multiple functions: it detects target subjects, acquires images from external apparatus, and displays the acquired images. By integrating these diverse functions into a single multi-functional device, the system achieves automatic image sharing without requiring separate specialized devices for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The detection unit acts as an intermediary between the user and the image sharing system. It automatically identifies target subjects and triggers the image acquisition process, serving as a mediator that translates user intent into automated system actions without requiring direct user intervention.

AI summary
A head-mounted display includes: an imaging device; and at least one processor and/or at least one circuit which function as: a detecting unit configured to detect a target subject in images captured by the imaging device; an acquiring unit configured to acquire an image capturing the target subject from an external apparatus; and a display control unit configured to display an image acquired from the external apparatus based on the detection result of the detecting unit.
