VR Display Area Control via Mode Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing VR image sharing technologies face difficulties in simultaneously reflecting the sharer's intention and allowing viewers to freely view VR images, as automatic and manual display area changes often result in disordered behavior, and the switching between these methods is not appropriately aligned with the viewing state of the VR image.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that switches between a first screen displaying a VR image individually and a second screen showing multiple images, controlling the display area change based on predetermined operations, where the first screen changes the display area based on user input and the second screen does not, allowing for a viewing environment that reflects the sharer's intention and enables viewer freedom.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If automatic display area change processing is performed simultaneously with manual operation, then the VR image can reflect the sharer's intention, but the VR image becomes difficult to view due to disordered behavior
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between automatic and manual modes based on the current viewing state. When in a list view state, automatic mode is enabled to reflect the sharer's intention. When in an individual playback state, manual mode is enabled to allow free viewing. This dynamic mode switching resolves the contradiction by ensuring only one mode is active at a time, preventing disordered behavior while maintaining both functionalities.
Solution Approach 2:
The viewing environment is segmented into different states (list view state and individual playback state), with each state having distinct automatic/manual operation characteristics. This segmentation allows the system to apply appropriate control methods to each state, preventing conflicts between automatic and manual operations.
2Extent of automation
If automatic display area change is enabled to reflect sharer's intention, then the viewing environment reflects the sharer's intention, but the viewer cannot freely view the VR image
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides dynamic adaptability by switching between automatic and manual modes based on the viewing state. In list view state, automatic mode reflects the sharer's intention. In individual playback state, manual mode provides viewer freedom. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to meet different user needs in different contexts, resolving the contradiction between reflecting sharer's intention and allowing viewer freedom.
3Ease of operation
If manual operation is always enabled, then the viewer can freely change the display area, but the sharer's intention cannot be reflected
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the operational mode based on the viewing state. When in list view state, automatic mode is enabled to reflect the sharer's intention. When in individual playback state, manual mode is enabled for viewer freedom. This dynamic adjustment ensures that both automatic and manual operations are available when needed, resolving the contradiction between reflecting sharer's intention and allowing manual operation.
4Extent of automation
If the display area changes automatically in all viewing states, then the sharer's intention is reflected, but the viewer cannot freely interact with the VR image
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic mode switching based on viewing state. In list view state, automatic display area change is enabled to reflect the sharer's intention. In individual playback state, manual interaction is enabled for viewer freedom. This dynamic switching prevents conflicts between automatic and manual operations, resolving the contradiction between reflecting sharer's intention and allowing manual interaction.

AI summary
An electronic device includes: a processor; and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device to: switch between a first screen that displays a VR image individually and a second screen that displays a plurality of images including the VR image; and control a change in a display area of the VR image, wherein on the first screen, the display area of the VR image is changed based on a predetermined operation for changing the display area of the VR image, and on the second screen, the display area of the VR image is not changed based on the predetermined operation.
