Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display systems are not optimized for viewers who tilt their heads or are not sitting upright, leading to suboptimal image display when viewers are in non-vertical positions.

Innovation Solution

A system that detects the orientation of a viewer using at least two points, determines a rotational position for the image based on this orientation, and adjusts the display image accordingly, allowing for optimal viewing regardless of the viewer's position.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the display is configured for horizontal video display optimized for upright viewing, then the image quality and pixel utilization are maximized for vertical head position, but the viewing experience deteriorates when viewers tilt their head or are not sitting upright

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage display optimizationVSAvoidviewing position adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the rotational position of the displayed image based on real-time detection of viewer orientation. The processing circuit continuously monitors viewer head position and rotates the image accordingly, transforming a static display system into a dynamic one that adapts to changing viewing conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the rotational parameter of the displayed image based on detected viewer orientation. By varying the rotation angle of the image according to viewer head position, the system optimizes the viewing experience for different orientations while maintaining image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If the display maintains fixed horizontal orientation, then the display system complexity remains low, but the ability to accommodate non-vertical viewer positions is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay system complexityVSAvoidviewing convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display system automatically detects viewer orientation and adjusts the image rotation without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by using the processing circuit to monitor viewer position and autonomously rotate the image to the appropriate angle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop where the processing circuit continuously detects viewer orientation and uses this information to adjust the image rotational position. This closed-loop control ensures the display adapts to viewer position while maintaining system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Systems, methods, and media for adjusting one or more images displayed to a viewer are provided. In some implementations, the system comprises: at least one processing circuit configured to: detect an orientation of a viewer based on at least two points associated with the viewer; determine, based on the orientation, a rotational position of a first image to be displayed on a display; and generate a display image for display on the display, wherein the display image includes at least a portion of the first image rotated based on the rotational position.
