Transparent Display Object Detection and Information Overlay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current transparent display technologies lack the ability to provide information on selected objects or regions seen through the display, limiting their functionality in real-time data acquisition and communication services.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that utilize a transparent display system to detect objects or regions of interest, search for associated information in databases or servers, and display relevant data, enabling users to interact with the environment by selecting objects or areas for information retrieval and communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a transparent display is used to maintain visibility of background objects, then transparency is improved, but the ability to provide information on selected objects is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising a camera, processor, and database that captures images of background objects, identifies selected objects, and retrieves相关信息. This intermediary layer enables information provision without compromising the transparent display's visibility function.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a digital copy of the background scene through image capture, then overlays information on selected objects from this copy. This allows information provision on transparent objects without blocking the actual background view.
2Loss of information
If information is provided on detected objects through the transparent display, then information availability is improved, but the simplicity of the display system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transparent display device is enhanced with multiple functions: original display function, image capture function, object detection function, information retrieval function, and information overlay function. This multi-functionality approach consolidates various components into an integrated system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically captures images, detects selected objects, retrieves information from databases, and displays information without requiring manual intervention. The transparent display device serves itself by integrating detection and information provision capabilities.
3Loss of time
If real-time information is provided on selected objects, then information freshness is improved, but the processing time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by continuously capturing background images and pre-processing them to identify objects. When a user selects an object, the information is already prepared and can be displayed immediately, reducing real-time processing requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The image capture and object detection operate continuously rather than intermittently, maintaining an up-to-date understanding of the background scene. This continuous operation ensures information freshness without requiring intensive real-time processing when information is requested.

AI summary
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for detecting an object includes receiving, on a transparent display, object selection information, determining an eye direction associated with the received object selection information, selecting at least one object displayed within a region of the transparent display defined by the received object selection information based on the determined eye direction, acquiring information on the selected object, and displaying the acquired information on the transparent display.
