Video Wall Interaction via Mobile Device Overlay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional video walls lack user privacy and interaction capabilities, as users can only memorize or record information manually, and derivative information on mobile devices is disconnected from the video wall without interactive feedback.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication device, camera, input device, and processor that captures and processes images of a video wall, superimposes virtual options onto the displayed content, and determines which options are enabled by user input, allowing seamless interaction and additional private information display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a video wall uses one-way push display method, then information can be displayed to users, but user privacy is compromised and interaction capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments interaction into two parts: public interaction on the video wall and private interaction on the user's mobile device. The mobile device acts as a private extension, allowing users to view and interact with information privately while the video wall maintains its public display function.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile device serves as an intermediary between the user and the video wall system. It receives information from the video wall, processes it privately on the user's device, and enables interactions without exposing user behavior to the public display environment.
2Loss of information
If users manually record information from video wall, then information can be stored, but time is lost and information completeness is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a digital copy of the video wall information that is transmitted to the user's mobile device. This copy contains complete information including images, text, and interactive elements, eliminating the need for manual recording while preserving all information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs the information capture and preparation in advance, delivering complete information to the user's device before the user needs to interact with it. This eliminates the time users would spend manually recording information during the display period.
3Loss of information
If derivative information is displayed on mobile phone independently, then private information can be shown, but connection to video wall is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a feedback loop where interactions performed on the mobile device are transmitted back to the video wall system. This allows users to privately select or interact with information on their device while the video wall receives and processes the interaction feedback, maintaining system connectivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds a spatial dimension to the interaction by introducing the mobile device as a secondary display and control interface. Users can interact with information in private on their device while the video wall continues its public display function, creating a multi-dimensional interaction architecture.

AI summary
An electronic device configured to display interactive information is provided, including a communication device, a camera, an input device, a processor and a display. The camera acquires an input image including an image of a display device, and the display device displays an interactive image including a default interaction option. The processor generates a virtual option according to the interactive image and superimposes the virtual option on the input image. The default interaction option and the virtual option correspond to a designated device and a designated service, respectively. The display is configured to display the input image and the virtual option. The processor determines whether the default interaction option or the virtual option is enabled when the input device receives an input operation, so as to provide the designated service in the designated device corresponding to the enabled default interaction option or virtual option.
