Image Generation Device for Upper Region Display Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In classrooms and similar settings, it is challenging for individuals such as elementary school students or those in wheelchairs to write on the upper regions of whiteboards using electronic pens, as traditional methods are inconvenient and time-consuming, especially when projecting images onto a screen.
Innovation Solution
An image generation device that includes a storage unit, a determination unit, and an image generation unit, which determines and displays input objects at appropriate positions on the presentation screen, allowing for easy viewing by projecting images with input objects positioned higher than their input location, either based on user instruction or default values.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of stationary object
If a thin and long electronic pen is used to write on the upper region of the whiteboard, then the upper region becomes accessible, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of extending the pen to reach upper regions, the invention inverts the approach by automatically moving the input object to the desired upper position after input. The determination unit calculates and adjusts the display position of input objects to upper regions, eliminating the need for users to use awkward extended pens.
2Ease of operation
If input objects are manually moved to appropriate positions, then the display position can be adjusted, but the productivity deteriorates due to time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically determining and adjusting the display positions of input objects without requiring manual intervention. The determination unit autonomously calculates appropriate upper positions and relocates input objects, eliminating the time-consuming manual movement process.
Solution Approach 2:
The determination unit pre-calculates the appropriate display positions in the upper region before the user completes input. This preliminary positioning action ensures that objects are automatically placed in optimal locations, saving time during the actual input process.
3Ease of operation
If input objects are displayed at their input position, then the input process is simple, but the visibility to all users deteriorates in spacious places
Solution Approach 1:
The invention transitions from a two-dimensional input position to a three-dimensional spatial arrangement by vertically relocating objects to upper regions of the presentation screen. This dimensional adjustment ensures objects are visible to all users in spacious places while maintaining input simplicity through automatic position determination.

AI summary
An image generation device includes a storage unit that stores input object data indicating content information of an input object which is input on a presentation screen, a determination unit that determines a display position located further on an upper side than an input position of the input object on the presentation screen, and an image generation unit that generates a presentation image which is an image displayed on the presentation screen and where the input object is displayed according to the display position determined by the determination unit.
