Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display technologies, such as those described in JP-A-2018-85754, fail to effectively convey how a user can utilize a content using a projector, making it difficult to grasp and imagine the method of projection.
Innovation Solution
A display control method and device that displays a first image showing a first projector projecting a first projection image onto a surface, along with a second image comprising thumbnail images indicating multiple contents that a second projector can project, allowing users to visualize and understand the projection method and contents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a preview of a moving image is simply displayed, then the display is easy to implement, but it is difficult for a user to grasp and imagine a method of utilizing a content using a projector
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple display elements (first image showing projector projection state, second image showing thumbnail images of multiple contents) into a single integrated display interface. This merging allows users to simultaneously view both the projection method demonstration and available content options, resolving the contradiction by providing comprehensive information without requiring separate complex systems
Solution Approach 2:
The display device performs multiple functions: it displays the first image demonstrating projection methodology, displays the second image with thumbnail images of multiple contents, and enables user interaction for selecting and playing contents. This multi-functionality allows a single device to provide both educational information and entertainment content, improving user understanding without proportionally increasing system complexity
2Loss of information
If multiple thumbnail images are displayed to show available contents, then users can see all available contents, but the display becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the content information into multiple thumbnail images displayed in the second image. Each thumbnail represents a separate content item, allowing users to view all available contents as discrete, manageable units. This segmentation makes the display less overwhelming while maintaining completeness of content information
Solution Approach 2:
The thumbnail images act as intermediaries between the available content library and the user. Instead of displaying all content details at once (which would be complex), the thumbnails provide a simplified visual summary that conveys essential information while maintaining the ability to access full content details when needed through selection

AI summary
A display control method includes causing a projector to display a first image formed by picking up an image of a state where a first projector is projecting a first projection image corresponding to a first content, onto a projection surface, and a second image that is a plurality of thumbnail images respectively indicating a plurality of contents corresponding to a projection image that a second projector can project.
