Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional presentation tools fail to adequately address issues related to display quality when presentations are projected, leading to reduced readability and audience engagement due to factors like poor projector quality and environmental conditions.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for generating a presentation that involves creating a test image, capturing its digital representation, analyzing it to determine display parameters, and selecting a theme to optimize graphical appearance and layout, ensuring the presentation is readable and visually appealing across various display conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If presentation is designed on high quality display device, then design quality is improved, but display quality on projector deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign qualityVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary calibration by capturing an image of the actual projection display and analyzing its characteristics before the presentation is displayed. This allows the system to pre-adjust color values, contrast, and brightness parameters to compensate for the specific projector's deficiencies, ensuring optimal display quality without requiring manual calibration at the time of presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes display parameters (color values, contrast, brightness) based on the analyzed characteristics of the projection display. By dynamically adjusting these parameters according to the captured image analysis, the system optimizes the presentation appearance for the specific projector and ambient conditions, resolving the contradiction between design quality and display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If conventional display calibration is used, then certain global deficiencies are alleviated, but overall readability and audience engagement remain insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay consistencyVSAvoidreadability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback by capturing an actual image of the projected display and analyzing it to determine the display's characteristics. This feedback loop allows the system to automatically adjust presentation parameters based on the real-world performance of the projection system, going beyond conventional calibration methods to significantly improve readability and visual impact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-calibration by automatically analyzing the captured projection image and adjusting its own display parameters without requiring external calibration tools or manual intervention. This self-service approach comprehensively addresses multiple display deficiencies simultaneously, improving overall readability and audience engagement more effectively than conventional calibration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
