Solution Overview

Problem

Existing motion stabilization technologies struggle to effectively account for both screen motion and user eye motion in vehicles, leading to reduced legibility and increased driver distraction.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent software development kit (SDK) framework is introduced, comprising a hardware layer with sensors for device and vehicle motion data, an API layer for communication, an application layer for user applications, and a software development kit abstraction layer with a motion stabilization model that adjusts object positions on the screen based on device and vehicle motion data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If motion stabilization is implemented using conventional technologies, then some degree of motion compensation is achieved, but the system fails to effectively account for both screen motion and user eye motion simultaneously, resulting in reduced legibility

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovelegibilityVSAvoidmotion compensation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The motion stabilization system is segmented into two independent but coordinated components: screen motion compensation and eye motion compensation. The screen motion is tracked using device sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope), while eye motion is tracked using eye-tracking sensors. Each component processes its own motion data separately and then combines them to achieve precise text stabilization, allowing the system to handle multiple motion sources without interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

An intermediary processing layer is introduced that receives motion data from both screen sensors and eye-tracking sensors, processes this combined information, and generates corrected rendering coordinates. This intermediary layer acts as a mediator that integrates the two separate motion compensation streams and coordinates their effects to achieve superior legibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the display screen moves with vehicle motion, then the display device remains stationary relative to the vehicle interior, but this causes motion blur and reduces user ability to focus on critical information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser focus abilityVSAvoidmotion blur
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary anti-action by predicting and compensating for motion effects before they manifest as blur. Using predictive algorithms that process sensor data in real-time, the system pre-adjusts the rendering position of text and graphics to counteract upcoming screen motion, thereby preventing motion blur before it occurs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by tracking eye position in advance and pre-positioning the focal point of displayed content. The eye-tracking system continuously monitors where the user is looking and proactively adjusts the rendering coordinates to ensure the focused area remains stable on the retina, preparing the display before the user's gaze shifts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
