Transparent Display Grouping for Aquarium Object Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Transparent displays used in applications with multiple objects, such as aquarium guided tours, face challenges in disorderly information display and difficulty in reading when individual information is shown for each object, leading to a cluttered and unintuitive user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that capture images of a user's line of sight and external objects, generate identification frames, create an auxiliary bonding box, and define a non-overlapping information display area to group object information, optimizing the display and improving readability by considering object distance, size, distribution, and moving speed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If individual information is displayed for each object on the transparent display, then complete information coverage is achieved, but the display becomes disorderly and difficult to read
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges information display areas of multiple objects by generating an auxiliary bonding box that covers identification frames of multiple objects. The system defines an information display area based on the non-overlapping areas of the auxiliary bonding box and identification frames, then group displays information of multiple objects within this unified area, transforming individual scattered displays into a consolidated organized presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new spatial dimension by creating an auxiliary bonding box that encompasses multiple identification frames in two-dimensional space. This auxiliary box adds a higher-level organizational structure that allows the system to manage and display multiple objects' information in a coordinated manner, effectively using spatial relationships to resolve the clutter problem.
2Quantity of substance
If information is displayed for multiple objects simultaneously, then comprehensive information is provided, but display order and readability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display area into distinct functional zones: identification frames for individual objects, an auxiliary bonding box encompassing multiple objects, and a defined information display area based on non-overlapping regions. This segmentation creates a hierarchical structure that organizes multiple objects' information systematically, reducing display complexity while maintaining comprehensive coverage.
3Measurement precision
If individual object information is displayed separately, then object identification is clear, but overall display becomes cluttered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested structure where identification frames (containing individual object information) are nested within the auxiliary bonding box (encompassing multiple objects). The information display area is then defined based on the non-overlapping areas of these nested elements, allowing individual object identification to be preserved while efficiently utilizing the overall display area through hierarchical nesting.

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for displaying information of multiple objects are provided. The method includes following steps: capturing an image within a sight of a user viewing a transparent display; identifying multiple objects in the image to generate multiple identification frames capable of covering the objects, respectively; generating an auxiliary bonding box capable of covering the identification frames; defining an information display area according to non-overlapping areas of the auxiliary bonding box and the identification frames; and group displaying object information of the objects in the information display area on the transparent display.
