Solution Overview

Problem

Hologram images in vehicles are position-dependent and sightline-dependent, leading to varying visibility and difficulty in accurate manipulation, especially when the angle between the user's sightline and the hologram is 90 degrees, limiting usability to specific users.

Innovation Solution

A hologram position control apparatus and method that adjusts the horizontal and vertical angles of a hologram display module based on the user's position and sightline, using processors to calculate correction angles and adjust the module's position dynamically to optimize visibility and facilitate manipulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the hologram module position is fixed, then the device complexity is reduced, but the hologram visibility varies according to user position and sightline

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehologram module position adjustment mechanismVSAvoidhologram visibility across different user positions
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the hologram module position adjustable rather than fixed. The module can dynamically change its horizontal and vertical angles based on user position and sightline detection, resolving the contradiction between device simplicity and adaptability to different users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operational parameters (horizontal angle and vertical angle) of the hologram module to optimize visibility for different users. By adjusting these parameters based on detected user position and sightline, the system maintains good visibility across various user positions without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the hologram module position is adjusted based on user position and sightline, then the hologram visibility is optimized for all users, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehologram visibility across different user positionsVSAvoidhologram module position adjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by detecting user position and sightline, then using this information to automatically adjust the hologram module position. This closed-loop control system optimizes visibility for each user while managing complexity through automated adjustment rather than manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-adjustment based on detected user characteristics. The hologram module automatically positions itself to provide optimal visibility without requiring manual intervention, reducing the operational complexity despite the increased adjustment capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Illumination intensity

If the hologram is displayed at a fixed angle of 90 degrees to the sightline, then the visibility is best for a specific user, but the usability is limited to that specific user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehologram visibility at 90 degree angleVSAvoidusability for multiple users
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by optimizing the hologram display angle specifically for each user's sightline rather than using a universal fixed angle. The horizontal and vertical angle adjustments are tailored to each user's position, providing 90-degree optimal viewing conditions locally for each user rather than globally for all users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
