Projector Dynamic Image Resizing Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing projector technologies cannot adjust the size of a whole image to accommodate new individual images or erase images based on user instructions, limiting their versatility and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A projector system with a projecting section that adjusts the size of the whole image based on the movement of individual images, using an instruction light to control the projection, and includes an image-taking section to generate taken-image information for versatile control, allowing for image resizing, erasure, and distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the projector enlarges part of an image using existing zoom methods, then the detail of the individual image is improved, but the size of the whole image cannot be adjusted to accommodate new images
Solution Approach 1:
The control section is designed to perform multiple functions: it detects individual images, determines their positions, controls zooming to enlarge individual images, and adjusts the size of the whole image based on individual image positions. This multi-functional design resolves the contradiction by enabling both detailed individual image viewing and flexible whole image size adjustment within the same system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the whole image size based on the detected position of individual images. When an individual image is enlarged, the control section automatically adjusts the whole image size to accommodate the change, creating a dynamic adaptation that resolves the static limitation of existing zoom methods.
2Quantity of substance
If the projector displays multiple individual images simultaneously, then the information quantity is improved, but the existing zoom method cannot provide empty space for new images
Solution Approach 1:
The control section continuously monitors the position of individual images and uses this feedback to automatically adjust the whole image size. This feedback mechanism ensures that sufficient empty space is always available for displaying new individual images, resolving the space management issue when displaying multiple images.
Solution Approach 2:
The whole image size is dynamically adjusted based on the number and position of individual images being displayed. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize space utilization and accommodate multiple individual images simultaneously, overcoming the static space limitations of existing methods.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the projector adds more control functions for image manipulation, then the versatility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control section merges multiple control functions into a single integrated unit: individual image detection, position determination, zoom control, and whole image size adjustment are all combined in one component. This merging approach improves versatility while minimizing the increase in device complexity by consolidating functions rather than adding separate components.

AI summary
A projector includes: an image-taking section; an updating section; a storing section storing taken-image information, position data and image data; a projecting section projecting a whole image including an individual image and having a function of adjusting the size of the whole image; and a control section performing control so as to make the projecting section adjust the size of the whole image according to the movement of the individual image in a state in which the whole image includes the whole of the individual image.
