Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies do not effectively display scrolling three-dimensional presentations of images in a manner that enhances viewer engagement by dynamically changing image size, resolution, and focus as they approach the viewer, lacking interactive control features.

Innovation Solution

A method for displaying scrolling three-dimensional presentations where images become larger, higher in resolution, and sharper as they approach the viewer, with interactive controls allowing users to customize presentation settings, apply special effects, and manage image streams.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If images are displayed in a static 2D format, then the display system is simple and easy to operate, but viewer engagement and visual interest are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay simplicityVSAvoidviewer engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static 2D image display into a dynamic 3D scrolling presentation where images move along a depth axis toward the viewer. This dimensional transformation creates a more engaging visual experience while maintaining ease of operation through automated animation sequences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic elements by making images scroll and change size, resolution, and focus automatically over time. This dynamic presentation enhances viewer engagement compared to static displays, while the system remains easy to operate through pre-configured animation sequences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If images are displayed with dynamic changes in size, resolution, and focus, then viewer engagement is enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer engagementVSAvoidpresentation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a multi-functional presentation system that handles image scrolling, resizing, resolution adjustment, and focus changes within a single integrated framework. This universal approach enhances viewer engagement without proportionally increasing complexity, as one system performs multiple visual transformation functions.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent systematically changes multiple image parameters (size, resolution, focus) in a coordinated manner during the scrolling animation. By managing these parameter changes through a unified control system, the patent enhances visual engagement while keeping the overall system complexity manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If interactive control features are added to customize presentation settings, then user control and personalization are improved, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresentation customizationVSAvoidcontrol interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent provides pre-configured presentation templates and default settings that work effectively without requiring extensive user customization. This preliminary setup allows users to benefit from enhanced adaptability while minimizing the complexity of controlling interface options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements automatic presentation features that adjust and optimize image display parameters without requiring manual user intervention. This self-service capability enhances adaptability to different content types while keeping the control interface simple, as the system autonomously manages complex presentation parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Particular embodiments receive a request to display images in a scrolling 3D presentation. Images are retrieved according to selection criteria. The images may be sorted according to sorting criteria. Sponsored images may be inserted into the scrolling 3D presentation. The scrolling 3D presentation of images is provided for display on a computing device associated with a viewer. Images in the scrolling 3D presentation are rendered so as to sequentially approach the viewer according to a perspective of the viewer. Control requests related to the scrolling 3D presentation may be received from the viewer, from a social-networking system, or from a third-party server. A control interface may be provided for the viewer to submit control requests.
