Solution Overview

Problem

Current projection systems are limited by a fixed projection module that fails to adapt to the user's environment, resulting in a poor perception experience, especially in dynamic application scenarios where multi-directional projection is required.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that includes a projection module, an environment collection module, a rotating mechanism, and a processor to determine the best projection position based on the user's location and environment, adjusting the projection direction to ensure optimal viewing experience by calculating the best projection position and path while avoiding obstacles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the projection module is kept in a fixed state to project pictures, then the device structure is simple and stable, but the projection system cannot adapt to different application scenes and user positions, resulting in poor perception experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different application scenesVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The projection module is transformed from a fixed state to a movable state through the rotating mechanism. The projection module can now rotate to different positions and directions, enabling it to adapt to various application scenes and user positions while maintaining a relatively simple overall device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The projection module is designed to perform multiple functions by rotating to different positions. It can project pictures in various directions and adapt to different application scenes such as home entertainment, large stage presentations, and multi-directional displays, making a single device serve multiple purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the projection module projects pictures to a fixed position, then the projection direction is stable, but the system cannot synchronize with user movement or construct immersive experiences through movement and content combination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesynchronization with user positionVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses the environment collection module to detect the user's position and the rotating mechanism to adjust the projection direction accordingly. This feedback loop enables the projection module to synchronize with user movement, creating immersive experiences while the processor automatically handles the coordination, keeping operation simple for the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The projection system automatically adjusts its projection direction based on environment collection data without requiring manual intervention. The processor coordinates the rotating mechanism and projection module to adapt to user positions autonomously, maintaining ease of operation while achieving synchronization with user movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the projection module uses a fixed projection direction, then the device structure is simple, but multi-directional projection cannot be performed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-directional projection capabilityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The projection module is equipped with a rotating mechanism that enables it to change its projection direction dynamically. This allows the system to perform multi-directional projection while keeping the device structure relatively simple by using a single adjustable projection module rather than multiple fixed modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

A single projection module is designed to perform multiple projection directions through rotation, making the device versatile for different application scenes. This approach achieves multi-directional projection capability without significantly increasing device complexity by avoiding the need for multiple separate projection modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a method for controlling projection of a projection module, a projection system and a storage medium. The method for controlling projection of the projection module includes: obtaining a projection environment where the projection module is located, and determining a position of a target person according to the projection environment; and planning the best projection position in the projection environment according to the projection environment and the position of the target person. The best projection position in the projection environment is planned according to the position of the target person, so that the projection picture projected by the projection module can be adaptively changed along the position of the target person to fit with the current status of the target person to improve the perception experience of the user.
