Information Processing Screen Layout for 3D Wide-Field Image Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wide-field images, such as 360-degree images, are displayed in a curved format, making it difficult for users to recognize the captured area and its location, leading to confusion when viewing a predetermined-area image within the wider field.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and system that generates a screen with a first captured image display area showing a predetermined-area image and a three-dimensional image display area, including position information and text data, to provide context and orientation within the captured image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a wide-field image is displayed in full curvature, then the complete captured area is shown, but the user has difficulty recognizing the captured area and its location
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple functional areas: a first captured image display area showing the predetermined-area image, a three-dimensional image display area with position images indicating capturing positions, and a text display area showing associated text data. This segmentation allows simultaneous presentation of detailed image content and spatial context information without mixing them into a single confusing view.
Solution Approach 2:
Position images and text data serve as intermediary elements that bridge the gap between the curved wide-field image and the user's understanding of spatial context. These intermediaries provide reference points (capturing positions) and descriptive information that help users orient themselves within the captured scene without requiring them to interpret the full curved image alone.
2Ease of operation
If a predetermined-area image is displayed, then the user can view a specific area, but the user cannot recognize what is captured or where it is captured
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple types of information into a unified screen display: the predetermined-area image (first captured image display area), three-dimensional spatial context (three-dimensional image display area with position images), and descriptive text data (text display area). This combination ensures that users viewing a specific predetermined area simultaneously receive context about what is captured and where it is captured.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a three-dimensional spatial dimension to the two-dimensional predetermined-area image display. By incorporating position images that indicate capturing positions in 3D space and associating them with text data, the system provides depth and spatial orientation information that helps users understand the location and context of the captured area.
3Loss of information
If position information and text data are added to the display, then context and orientation are enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display is divided into distinct segmented areas (first captured image display area, three-dimensional image display area, text display area), each with a specific function. This segmentation allows the system to present complex information (position data, text, images) in an organized manner that reduces perceived complexity for the user while maintaining comprehensive information delivery.
