Projector Communication Detection for Guided Image Stacking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing projection technologies require users to perform multiple cumbersome settings for tiling and stacking projections, increasing operational burden.
Innovation Solution
A projector system that determines communicable coupling with another projector and projects a guide image to facilitate the operation of partially superimposing images, reducing the need for manual user settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually operate operation units to set up tiling or stacking projection, then projection functionality is achieved, but user operational burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The projector automatically detects the presence and projection images of other projectors in the environment, and autonomously determines the appropriate projection mode (tiling or stacking) without requiring users to manually navigate menus or configure settings. The system serves itself by autonomously identifying the projection scenario and executing the corresponding mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The projector performs preliminary detection of other projectors and their projection images before the user completes setup. By automatically identifying the projection environment and determining the optimal mode in advance, the system prepares the projection configuration before user interaction is needed, eliminating the need for manual setting operations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple menu items are provided for projection modes, then functionality is comprehensive, but user operation steps increase
Solution Approach 1:
The projector automatically detects other projectors and determines the appropriate projection mode (tiling or stacking) in advance, before the user needs to make a selection. This preliminary automatic determination eliminates the time required for users to navigate through multiple menu items and select the appropriate projection mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the projection environment for the presence of other projectors and their images, using this feedback to automatically determine the appropriate projection mode. The feedback loop between environmental detection and mode selection eliminates manual intervention while maintaining adaptability to different projection scenarios.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual configuration is required for projection superimposition, then precise control is achieved, but setup time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The projector automatically detects other projectors and their projection images, then autonomously determines the optimal projection mode and alignment configuration before user setup is complete. This preliminary automatic configuration achieves precise projection alignment without requiring users to spend time on manual adjustment operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The projector autonomously performs the detection, determination, and configuration of projection alignment parameters without user intervention. The system serves itself by automatically achieving precise projection superimposition based on environmental detection, eliminating the time users would otherwise spend on manual alignment operations.
