Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices struggle to effectively implement holographic images using hologram guides, as they lack a systematic method to optimize the display area for achieving high-quality holographic projections.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device is designed with a processor that executes instructions to obtain an input image, determine a display area within a guide area based on the input image and guide area information, convert the input image into a base image, and display the base image in the determined area, ensuring optimal holographic image implementation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a hologram guide is used to provide a 3D stereoscopic image, then the visual experience is improved, but the complexity of the device increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of holographic imageVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The guide area is divided into multiple sub-guide areas with different weights, allowing selective optimization of different regions for holographic image display. This segmentation enables the system to focus computational resources on critical areas while simplifying others, resolving the contradiction between image quality and device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different sub-guide areas are assigned different weights based on their importance for holographic image quality. The processor selectively processes and displays base images in specific weighted areas rather than uniformly across the entire guide area, achieving high quality where needed while reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Area of stationary object

If the entire guide area is used for displaying the base image, then the coverage is improved, but the image quality in specific critical areas deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent assigns different weights to different sub-guide areas, allowing the system to prioritize image quality in specific critical regions (higher weight areas) while maintaining acceptable coverage in other regions. This selective quality distribution resolves the contradiction between overall coverage and localized image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

By dividing the guide area into weighted sub-areas, the system can selectively process and display base images in specific segments rather than treating the entire area uniformly. This enables focused quality optimization in important regions while maintaining broader coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If the base image is processed and displayed in multiple sub-guide areas with different weights, then the holographic image quality is improved, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholographic image qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The processor selectively processes and displays base images only in sub-guide areas that meet certain weight thresholds, rather than processing all areas uniformly. This partial action approach achieves sufficient holographic image quality in critical regions while reducing overall processing time by excluding lower-priority areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

Different processing priorities are assigned to different sub-guide areas based on their weights. High-weight areas receive full processing attention for optimal quality, while lower-weight areas may use simplified processing or be excluded, balancing image quality with processing time efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
