Electronic Apparatus 3D Video Menu Position Displacement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional 3D video conversion methods cause displacement issues when mixing 2D video parallax images with non-converted highlight displays, making it difficult for users to navigate menu options in 3D video content.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a data extraction module, mode setup module, video signal generation modules, and a mixing module that separates and processes 2D and 3D video data, disabling 2D to 3D conversion for menu domains to prevent positional displacement of highlight displays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If 2D video is converted to 3D video using parallax images, then 3D video viewing capability is improved, but display position alignment deteriorates when mixed with non-converted highlight displays
Solution Approach 1:
The video content is segmented into different types: 3D video content that requires parallax conversion and 2D content (such as menu backgrounds and option items) that should remain in 2D. By separating the processing of different video segments, the patent applies 2D-to-3D conversion only to appropriate content while keeping menu elements in 2D, thus resolving the position misalignment issue while maintaining 3D viewing capability for main content
Solution Approach 2:
Different quality processing is applied to different regions of the video content. The background video and option items in menu areas are processed and displayed in 2D with stable positions, while the main video content is converted to 3D with parallax effects. This local differentiation ensures that menu elements maintain their intended display positions while the main content provides immersive 3D viewing
2Adaptability or versatility
If 2D to 3D conversion is applied to all video data, then 3D viewing experience is improved, but menu navigation usability deteriorates due to highlight display displacement
Solution Approach 1:
The video data is segmented into menu domain content and main video content. The menu domain includes background video and option items that are processed separately from the main video. By applying 2D-to-3D conversion only to the main video content and keeping menu elements in 2D, the patent maintains clear visual feedback for menu navigation while providing 3D viewing experience for the main content
Solution Approach 2:
Different processing qualities are applied locally: menu elements (background video and option items) are processed in 2D with stable display positions for easy navigation, while the main video content receives full 3D conversion for immersive viewing. This local quality differentiation ensures both menu usability and 3D viewing experience are optimized for their respective purposes

AI summary
An electronic apparatus comprises a data extraction module, a mode setup module for setting a display mode, a first video signal generation module, a second video signal generation module, and a mixing module. The data extraction module is configured to extract first video data and second video data for displaying an object having a display position altered in accordance with an operation input from video content data. The first video signal generation module is configured to generate the first video data as 2D video, even when the display mode is set for 3D video display, when the second video data is extracted. The second video signal generation module is configured to generate a third (2D) video signal for the second video data such that the display position is changed in accordance with operation input. The mixing module is configured to mix the first video signal with the third video signal.
