Multi-Angle Image Presentation Using User Position Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image viewing technologies, such as those on smart mobile devices, limit users to viewing three-dimensional objects from a single angle, lacking intuitive methods to view from different angles.
Innovation Solution
An image presentation method and system that utilizes an image capturing device to continuously photograph a target object while in motion, detecting relative positions to capture images from different angles, and a display that presents these images based on the user's position to simulate changing viewing angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single static image is displayed, then the device complexity is low, but the user cannot view the three-dimensional object from different viewing angles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a static single image display to a dynamic multi-image presentation system. The system captures multiple images from different viewing angles and dynamically switches between them based on detected user head position, enabling the display to adaptively change content to provide three-dimensional object viewing flexibility without requiring complex hardware modifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dimensionality change by adding the temporal dimension to image presentation. Instead of displaying a single static image, the system presents a sequence of images captured at different time points and viewing angles, creating a multi-dimensional viewing experience that allows users to perceive three-dimensional objects from multiple perspectives through time-based image switching.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the image capturing device remains stationary, then the manufacturing precision is high, but the user cannot capture images from different viewing angles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling the image capturing device to move to different positions and orientations for capturing images from multiple viewing angles. The system intentionally introduces controlled motion to capture diverse perspectives, then uses position detection and image switching to maintain presentation stability, resolving the contradiction between movement for angle coverage and stability for capture precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-capturing multiple images from different viewing angles before the viewing session. The system anticipates the user's need to view the object from various angles and prepares the complete set of images in advance, detecting their relative positions during capture to enable accurate later switching based on user head position, thereby ensuring both angle coverage and presentation stability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple images from different angles are captured, then the viewing experience is enhanced, but the loss of time for image processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing image capture and relative position detection in advance, before the actual viewing session begins. All images from different viewing angles are captured and their spatial relationships are determined beforehand, so that during viewing, the system only needs to switch between pre-processed images based on detected user position, significantly reducing real-time processing time while maintaining enhanced three-dimensional visualization capability.
