Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing inner projection technologies are limited by their application to non-movable, flat or curved display devices, restricting their scope and causing image distortion on movable, non-planar surfaces.
Innovation Solution
A robotic system with a non-planar projection surface and servo motors allows for synchronous rotation of the projection surface and projection element, using optical reflection elements and image correction methods like indentation correction, algorithm modification, and lens design to maintain a fixed display area without distortion on movable, non-planar surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If inner projection technology is used on curved display devices, then image display capability is improved, but the devices cannot be moved due to various restrictions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the projection surface movable through robotic mechanisms. The curved projection surface can rotate and change orientation while maintaining its curved shape, transforming a static curved display into a dynamic, movable projection system that adapts to different spatial configurations
2Adaptability or versatility
If projection is performed on non-planar surfaces, then display flexibility is improved, but image distortion occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and pre-distorting the projection image based on the specific curved surface geometry. Before projection, the image is algorithmically adjusted to compensate for the expected distortion, so that when projected onto the curved surface, it appears undistorted to the viewer
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting projection parameters such as focal length, projection angle, and image mapping coordinates based on the curved surface characteristics. The system modifies these parameters in real-time to optimize image quality on different curved geometries
3Adaptability or versatility
If the projection surface is made movable, then application range is expanded, but synchronous rotation control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by using a robotic manipulation system that can handle multiple curved projection surfaces with different geometries using the same basic mechanism. The system is designed to work with various types of curved surfaces (spherical, cylindrical, free-form) through a unified control approach, reducing overall system complexity

AI summary
A robotic system having movable mechanism of a non-planar inner projection is provided. It comprises a non-planar projection surface, a servo motor, an inner projection element, and a support frame. The servo motor is connected to the non-planar projection surface, and the non-planar projection surface can be rotated synchronously by the servo motor drive. The inner projection element is disposed relative to the non-planar projection surface, the inner projection element generates a target image, and the target image is projected onto the non-planar projection surface to form a display area, and the display area has a fixed boundary. The servo motor and the inner projection element are disposed on the support frame, and when the non-planar projection surface is synchronously rotated by the servo motor, the inner projection element also rotates synchronously.
