See-Through Near-Eye Display Area Segmentation for AR Clarity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) display devices face challenges in effectively displaying shared content and associated information within a limited field of view, which hinders user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for a see-through near-eye display device that obtains association information for a display object, determines a target display area within its visual field, and displays this information in a separate area without existing content, optimizing the display position to match the device's capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If association information is displayed in the target display area, then information completeness is improved, but display clarity and user experience deteriorate due to clutter and limited field of view
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display area into two distinct zones: a target display area for primary content and a second area for association information. This spatial segmentation allows both types of information to be displayed simultaneously without overlapping, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and display clarity by giving each type of information its own dedicated space within the limited field of view.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different display characteristics to different areas. The target display area maintains high visual priority for primary content, while the second area is optimized for supplementary association information. This localized optimization ensures that each area serves its specific function effectively, improving overall user experience while preserving information completeness.
2Loss of information
If all information is displayed in the limited field of view, then information completeness is improved, but display capability and visual clarity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the spatial dimension within the field of view by creating a hierarchical display structure. Instead of competing for the same two-dimensional space, information is organized across different spatial zones with the target display area for primary content and a separate second area for association information. This dimensional organization allows complete information display while maintaining visual clarity and not exceeding the display device's capabilities.
3Ease of operation
If association information is displayed separately from the target display area, then display clarity is improved, but information integration deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs the second area as an intermediary zone that bridges the target display area and the user's understanding of association information. This intermediary area presents association information in a visually distinct but spatially integrated manner, maintaining display clarity by separating information types while preserving information integration through spatial proximity and contextual relationship within the unified field of view.

AI summary
A method for information display, applied to a see-through near-eye display device, includes: obtaining association information corresponding to a display object; determining a target display area of the display object within a visual field of the see-through near-eye display device; and displaying the association information in a second area within the visual field excluding the target display area, the second area having no display content.
