Layered Display Output for 3D Special Effects in Small Image Frames
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack effective methods to enhance user experience by providing immersive three-dimensional special effects in content, particularly in regions where the image frame is smaller than the display area.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus and method that identifies special effects based on audio and pixel information, outputs special effects images alongside the main image frame using layered display techniques, and includes features like user input recognition and neural network analysis to enhance the immersive experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If special effects are provided in content, then user experience and immersion are enhanced, but device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display area into multiple independent regions, with the image frame displayed in a first region and special effects in a second region. This segmentation allows the processor to handle different content elements separately, reducing the complexity of processing the entire frame as a single unit while still providing immersive special effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes spatial dimensioning by dividing the display into multiple regions and layers. The image frame is positioned in a first region while special effects are rendered in a second region, creating a multi-dimensional display arrangement that enhances user immersion without requiring complex processing of the entire display area simultaneously.
2Ease of operation
If image frame size is reduced to leave room for special effects, then immersion is enhanced, but image quality and detail may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display area into distinct regions: a first region for the image frame and a second region for special effects. This segmentation allows the image frame to maintain its original size and quality within its designated region, while special effects are rendered separately without compromising the image's resolution or detail.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by providing different visual treatments to different regions of the display. The image frame region maintains high fidelity and detail, while the special effects region provides enhanced visual impact. This region-specific approach ensures that image quality is preserved where needed while still delivering immersive special effects elsewhere.
3Ease of operation
If special effects are added to enhance user experience, then engagement increases, but processing time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the processing and display into separate regions: image frame processing in a first region and special effects processing in a second region. This segmentation allows the processor to optimize resource allocation, dedicating processing power to each region independently, thereby reducing overall energy consumption while still providing engaging special effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by providing special effects in a specific second region rather than across the entire display. This selective approach delivers sufficient visual engagement to enhance user experience while avoiding the excessive energy consumption that would result from applying special effects throughout the entire display area.

AI summary
An electronic apparatus includes a display, a memory storing at least one instruction, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to, by executing the at least one instruction, identify, based on a size of an audio signal corresponding to at least one image frame included in content being identified as greater than or equal to a threshold value, whether or not special effects are provided based on pixel information included in the at least one image frame, identify, based on identifying that the special effects are provided in the at least one image frame, image information corresponding to the special effects in the at least one image frame, and output a special effects image obtained based on the identified image information together with the at least one image frame through the display.
