Transparent Display Overlaying External Object Data

The patent combines the transparent display device with an external device (such as a smartphone or tablet) to create a composite system. The transparent display maintains its transparency while the external device provides the information display capability. When the external device is placed on or near the transparent display, information from the external device is projected or wirelessly transmitted to be displayed through the transparent display, thus merging the transparency function with the information display function.

The patent introduces an intermediary component (such as a projector, wireless communication module, or optical coupling mechanism) that bridges the transparent display device and the external device. This intermediary enables the transfer and display of information from the external device through the transparent display without compromising the transparency of the display itself.

The patent implements automatic detection and connection mechanisms where the transparent display device automatically detects the presence of an external device, establishes communication, and displays information without requiring manual configuration from the user. The system self-adjusts settings, selects appropriate display modes, and manages information flow automatically, thus maintaining ease of operation while enhancing functionality.

The patent designs the transparent display device with universal compatibility to work with multiple types of external devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.). A single transparent display unit can interface with various devices through standardized protocols and connection methods, providing versatile functionality without requiring users to learn different operating procedures for different device types.

The patent implements a dynamic communication system that automatically selects and switches between different communication methods (wireless, wired, optical, etc.) based on the available external devices, environmental conditions, and communication requirements. The system dynamically adjusts its communication protocol and channel to maintain reliable information transfer while adapting to changing conditions, thus achieving high reliability without requiring all communication methods to be simultaneously active.

The patent applies different communication methods to different communication scenarios or regions. For example, wireless communication is used for distant devices, wired connection for close devices requiring high bandwidth, and optical communication for specific short-range applications. Each communication module is optimized for its specific use case, and the system selects the appropriate local communication method based on the situation, achieving reliability without unnecessary complexity.
