Solution Overview

Problem

The use of multiple infrared lamps for light filling in virtual reality devices causes overexposure of images, negatively impacting gesture recognition in virtual reality devices.

Innovation Solution

A multi-device photographing control method where a first VR head-mounted display device determines its photographing moment and sends exposure indication information to other VR head-mounted devices to coordinate different exposure times, preventing simultaneous light filling and overexposure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If multiple infrared lamps are used for light filling in virtual reality devices, then the illumination intensity is improved, but the images become overexposed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight filling intensityVSAvoidimage overexposure
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by making multiple VR devices perform light filling and exposure at different time intervals rather than simultaneously. Each device is assigned a specific time window for infrared lamp activation and camera exposure, creating a periodic sequence that ensures adequate illumination while preventing overexposure. This temporal segmentation allows multiple devices to share the same physical space without interfering with each other's imaging quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Reliability

If multiple VR devices perform light filling simultaneously, then the gesture recognition capability is improved, but the image quality deteriorates due to overexposure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegesture recognition capabilityVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses periodic action to schedule light filling and exposure operations for multiple VR devices in sequential time windows. Each device receives adequate infrared illumination during its designated period, ensuring reliable gesture recognition, while the sequential timing prevents simultaneous exposure that would cause image overexposure and quality degradation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the timing parameters of light filling and exposure for each VR device. By changing the temporal parameters (start time, duration, interval) of infrared lamp activation and camera exposure, the system optimizes both gesture recognition reliability and image quality, preventing overexposure while maintaining adequate illumination for each device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
