Automatic Multi-Monitor Logical Position Adjustment via Face Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Configuring logical positions of multiple monitors is inconvenient, especially when their physical positions are changed, as users must manually adjust settings, which becomes difficult with more than two monitors.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system with image capturing devices and face recognition technology to automatically set logical positions of multiple display devices based on the user's face orientation, using a controller with a monitoring and adjustment module to analyze images and adjust monitor settings accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual configuration of logical positions is used, then system complexity is reduced, but user convenience deteriorates when monitors are repositioned
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects monitor positions using image capturing devices and face recognition technology, eliminating the need for manual user input. The controller autonomously adjusts logical positions based on captured images, allowing the system to serve itself without user intervention when monitors are repositioned.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical configuration operations with an automated optical recognition system. Image capturing devices capture the physical arrangement, face recognition algorithms analyze the spatial relationships, and the controller automatically updates logical positions, substituting manual user actions with automated computational processes.
2Ease of operation
If automatic position adjustment is implemented, then user convenience is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The image capturing devices serve multiple functions: capturing the user's face for recognition, detecting monitor positions, and providing spatial relationship data. The face recognition technology simultaneously identifies the user and determines their position relative to the displays, making a single system perform multiple tasks that would otherwise require separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller acts as an intermediary between the image capturing devices and the display configuration system. It receives raw image data, processes it through face recognition algorithms, and translates the results into appropriate logical position settings, serving as a mediating layer that simplifies the overall system architecture.
3Measurement precision
If face recognition technology is used, then automatic positioning accuracy is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a digital copy or representation of the physical display arrangement through image capture. Instead of directly measuring physical distances, the system captures visual information and uses computational algorithms to interpret spatial relationships from the image data, creating a virtual model that represents the physical configuration.
