Multi-Display Communication System for Realistic Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multimedia terminals lack realism in user communication and face challenges in accurately and simply transmitting information, such as verbal descriptions of locations, due to limited visual feedback.
Innovation Solution
An information display system with interconnected terminals that capture and display images of users' and operators' faces and upper bodies, along with their hands, using multiple cameras and displays to create a sense of realism and facilitate accurate information transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If only a picture of the operator's face is displayed, then the display content is simple, but the sense of realism in communication is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The display is divided into multiple independent display units: a first display showing the operator's face and upper body, and a second display showing the operator's hands and input panel. This segmentation allows each display to focus on specific visual information, enhancing the overall sense of realism without requiring a single complex display system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a single-dimensional face display to a multi-dimensional visual presentation by adding a second display dimension that shows the operator's hands and input panel. This dimensional expansion provides comprehensive visual feedback, making the communication feel more natural and immersive.
2Measurement precision
If only verbal instruction is used to transmit location information, then the communication method is simple, but the accuracy of location transmission is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The operator's hands and input panel serve as an intermediary visual medium between the operator and user. By displaying the hands interacting with the input panel, the system provides a visual bridge that translates abstract verbal instructions into concrete visual actions, enabling accurate location and information transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a visual copy of the operator's hand movements and input panel interactions on the second display. This visual copy allows the user to observe exactly how location information is being selected and transmitted, significantly improving accuracy compared to verbal instructions alone.
3Ease of operation
If multiple cameras and displays are used to capture and show faces and hands, then the sense of realism is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system is segmented into dedicated units: first and second cameras for capturing the operator's face and upper body, and third and fourth cameras for capturing the hands and input panel. This segmentation allows each camera to be optimized for its specific capture task while working together to create a comprehensive realistic display.
Solution Approach 2:
Each display unit serves multiple functions: the first display shows the operator's face and upper body for visual communication, while the second display shows the hands and input panel for interaction guidance. This multi-functionality maximizes the utility of each component, reducing the need for additional specialized devices.

AI summary
It is possible to provide a sense of realism that a user actually faces a communication partner and to accurately and simply transmit information. In information display system (5), first display panel (21) displays a face and a part of an upper body of an operator op captured by third camera (63) and second display panel (22) displays hands of operator op captured by fourth camera (64) in information display terminal (10). In information provision terminal (50), third display panel (53) displays a face of the user captured by first camera (31), and fourth display panel (54) displays hands of the user captured by second camera (32).
