Preload Display for Transparent Screens with Object Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Transparent displays face challenges in accurately displaying information for moving objects due to the time required for identification, leading to a mismatch between object and information display positions, resulting in a negative user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that pre-identify and trace external objects using a first information capturing device, and determine the user's pointing range with a second information capturing device, allowing for preload display of object information on a transparent display, thereby reducing the reaction time and improving display efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If object identification is performed in real-time, then the system can respond to current object positions, but the identification time delay causes the displayed information to be out of sync with the object's current position
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary object identification and information extraction before the user actually needs to view the information. By pre-identifying objects in the captured image and preparing their information in advance, the system eliminates the time delay between object detection and information display, ensuring the displayed information is always current and accurate.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically tracks and updates object information without requiring continuous user input or manual re-identification. The pre-identification process creates a self-updating system that continuously monitors object positions and maintains accurate information display without additional user intervention.
2Loss of information
If the system processes and displays object information, then useful information is provided to users, but the processing time causes the display to lag behind the object's movement
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing of object information including identification, feature extraction, and data preparation before the user needs to view it. This pre-processing pipeline ensures that when the user views the transparent display, the information is already ready and synchronized with the object's current position, eliminating lag and improving both timeliness and response speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous object tracking and information processing operations that run in the background. This continuous processing ensures that object information is always up-to-date and ready for immediate display, eliminating interruptions and lag in the information delivery process.
3Reliability
If the transparent display shows real-time information, then the display remains synchronized with object positions, but the calculation and processing requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs complex calculations and object identification in advance during the pre-processing phase. By completing the heavy computational work before the actual display moment, the system reduces the processing burden during real-time display operations, maintaining synchronization accuracy while managing computational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing system is divided into distinct stages: preliminary object identification, feature extraction, information preparation, and final display. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, with the most computationally intensive tasks performed in advance during dedicated processing windows, reducing overall system complexity.

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for preload display of object information are provided. The method includes following steps: capturing an external object information on a side of the transparent display opposite to a user by using the first information capturing device; pre-identifying at least one object in the external object information and tracing the at least one object according to an identification result; capturing information of the user by using the second information capturing device for pre-identifying and tracing a pointing range of the user, and determining whether the traced objects appear within the pointing range; and preload displaying object information of the objects appearing within the pointing range on the transparent display.
