3D Display Thumbnail Format Switching for User Discomfort
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
3D image display apparatuses face challenges in efficiently displaying thumbnails for image content selection, particularly in switching between 3D and 2D formats to reduce user discomfort and optimize screen design.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus employs a configuration that includes a digital television broadcast receiver with stereoscopic glasses and a liquid crystal display panel, using a 3D/2D conversion module to alternate between right-eye and left-eye images, and a glass-wearing detection module to adjust display formats based on user wear, allowing thumbnails to be displayed in 3D or 2D depending on their orientation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If thumbnails are displayed in 3D format, then the visual appeal and immersion are improved, but user discomfort increases due to the oblique positioning of thumbnails
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by dynamically switching between 3D and 2D display modes based on the thumbnail's position. Front-positioned thumbnails are displayed in 3D for visual appeal, while obliquely positioned thumbnails are displayed in 2D to avoid user discomfort. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between maintaining visual appeal and preventing discomfort.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all thumbnails are displayed in 3D, then the immersive experience is improved, but the screen design flexibility and space utilization deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the display mode based on the thumbnail's position on the screen. Front thumbnails receive 3D treatment for immersion, while oblique thumbnails receive 2D treatment. This localized approach allows the system to maintain immersive experience where appropriate while preserving screen design flexibility and space utilization where needed.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If thumbnails are displayed in 2D format, then user comfort is improved, but the visual appeal and immersion deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts display mode based on thumbnail position and user context. When thumbnails are positioned obliquely, 2D mode is used for comfort. When positioned frontally, 3D mode is used for visual appeal. This dynamic switching resolves the contradiction between comfort and visual appeal.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If the display format switches between 3D and 2D, then user comfort and screen design are improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting thumbnail positions and determining the appropriate display mode without requiring manual user input or complex external control. The glass-wearing detection module and position-based logic enable the system to autonomously switch between 3D and 2D modes, managing the complexity internally while providing comfort benefits to the user.

AI summary
According to one embodiment, a 3D image output apparatus includes: an oblique display judging module configured to judge whether a thumbnail relating to an image content that can be displayed in 3D is displayed obliquely; and an image signal output module configured to: output an image signal relating to a thumbnail so that the thumbnail is displayed in 2D when the oblique display judging module judges that the thumbnail is displayed obliquely; and output an image signal relating to the thumbnail so that the thumbnail is displayed in 3D when the oblique display judging module judges that the thumbnail is not displayed obliquely.
