Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for displaying image sensor data within a three-dimensional environment often result in suboptimal viewing conditions due to asynchronous refresh rates and physical constraints of the display device, leading to visual artifacts and limited user control over the display location and size.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for directly receiving image sensor data within a computer system and displaying it within the three-dimensional environment using a communication link established through a visual code, allowing users to anchor, move, and resize the image sensor data as desired, independent of the display device's limitations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If image sensor data is displayed on the display device of the electronic device, then the display is integrated with the three-dimensional environment, but the image fidelity is degraded due to asynchronous refresh rates and physical constraints
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a visual code as an intermediary element that enables the computer system to establish a communication link with the image sensor. This mediator allows the system to bypass the electronic device's display constraints while maintaining integration with the three-dimensional environment through the visual code interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent separates the image sensor data display function from the electronic device's display system. By enabling direct rendering on the computer system's display, the image feed is segmented from the constrained display pipeline, allowing independent optimization of image fidelity and display parameters.
2Adaptability or versatility
If image sensor data is displayed directly on the electronic device display, then the display is physically constrained to fixed locations, but user flexibility in positioning and sizing is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The visual code serves as an intermediary that simplifies the communication link establishment between the computer system and image sensor. Users interact with the visual code to initiate data transmission, avoiding complex direct connection procedures while enabling flexible display control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service configuration where the visual code contains necessary information for the computer system to automatically establish the communication link and begin displaying image sensor data without requiring complex manual setup or configuration by the user.
3Reliability
If the computer system establishes a direct communication link with the image sensor, then image fidelity is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The visual code acts as an intermediary that simplifies the direct communication link establishment. It encapsulates necessary connection information and protocols, allowing the computer system to connect directly to the image sensor for high-fidelity data transmission without requiring complex configuration or intermediate software layers.

AI summary
Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for communicating image sensor data to a computer system using one or more media links that allow for image sensor data to be displayed within a three-dimensional environment. In some examples, while presenting a three-dimensional environment that includes an electronic device that is communicatively coupled to an image sensor (e.g., a camera, or some other imaging device) within the three-dimensional environment, the electronic device utilizes a visual code displayed on the electronic device to establish a communication link with the image sensor receiving an indication to display image sensor data from the image sensor that is communicatively coupled to the electronic device. In some examples, while presenting a three-dimensional environment that includes a first pre-defined location within the three-dimensional environment, the electronic device facilitates the user to choose an image sensor to display at the pre-defined location.
