Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies cannot realize 3D display of on-screen display (OSD) images, nor can they switch between 2D and 3D display, and lack the capability to present OSD images from multiple viewpoints.

Innovation Solution

A display method that involves obtaining OSD image data from multiple viewpoints, parsing and rearranging the data, and displaying it in specific regions of the screen, allowing for 3D display and switching between 2D and 3D modes, while also considering transparency and high-definition display based on user viewing regions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional display technology is used for OSD images, then the display process is simple, but 3D display and multiple viewpoints cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D display capabilityVSAvoiddisplay process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The OSD image data is segmented into multiple viewpoint components (first viewpoint, second viewpoint, etc.). Each viewpoint's image data is processed and arranged separately, allowing the display apparatus to present multiple perspectives simultaneously. This segmentation enables 3D display functionality by dividing the original image data into distinct spatial components that can be rendered from different angles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from 2D OSD image display to 3D display by adding a viewpoint dimension. The image data is reorganized to include depth information and multiple perspective views, transforming the display from a single-plane 2D representation to a multi-dimensional 3D representation that accommodates multiple viewpoints simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If OSD image data from multiple viewpoints is processed and displayed, then 3D display and multiple viewpoints are achieved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultiple viewpoints displayVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary arrangement of image data for multiple viewpoints before the actual display process. The OSD image data is pre-processed to organize pixel information according to different viewpoint requirements, creating a structured format that facilitates efficient rendering. This preliminary organization reduces the computational burden during real-time display by having the data ready in the appropriate format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The display apparatus dynamically switches between different viewpoint configurations based on display requirements. The system can adaptively adjust which viewpoints are rendered and how they are arranged on the display screen, providing flexible control over the complexity of data processing while maintaining the capability to display multiple perspectives when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If image data is rearranged for multiple viewpoints, then 3D display effect is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D display effectVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different processing qualities to different regions or components of the image data corresponding to different viewpoints. Not all viewpoint data requires the same level of processing detail - the system optimizes by applying appropriate processing intensity to each viewpoint's data, maintaining visual quality where needed while reducing processing overhead for less critical regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system adjusts processing parameters such as resolution, compression level, and rendering detail based on the specific viewpoint and display context. By dynamically changing these parameters, the patent balances the quality of the 3D display effect with the time required for processing, allowing high-quality rendering when time permits and optimized lower-quality rendering when processing time is constrained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
