DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE AND DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243678 titled 'DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE AND DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display control device that can project different display objects in different areas based on user selection.

  • The device sets a display content projected by a projector to show a first display object in a first display area.
  • It receives a signal from a detection sensor and determines if the user has selected the first display object.
  • If the first display object is selected, the device sets another display content to show a second display object in a second display area.
  • The device then determines if the user has selected the second display object and confirms the selection of the first display object if the second display object is selected.

Potential Applications

  • Interactive presentations or exhibitions where users can select different display objects for more information or interaction.
  • Gaming consoles or virtual reality systems where users can choose different objects or characters to interact with.
  • Advertising displays where users can select different products or services for more details or purchasing options.

Problems Solved

  • Allows users to interact with projected display objects in a more intuitive and engaging way.
  • Provides a seamless transition between different display objects based on user selection.
  • Eliminates the need for physical buttons or controls by utilizing detection sensors for user interaction.

Benefits

  • Enhanced user experience by allowing users to actively engage with projected display objects.
  • Increased flexibility in displaying different content in different areas without the need for multiple projectors.
  • Simplified user interface by eliminating the need for physical controls and utilizing detection sensors for interaction.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display control device includes: processing circuitry that sets a display content projected by a projector in such a manner that a first display object is displayed in a first display area; and that receives a signal detected by a detection sensor from the detection sensor and determines whether or not the first display object is selected by a user. The processing circuitry sets another display content projected by the projector in such a manner that a second display object corresponding to the first display object is displayed in a second display area different from the first display area in a case where it is determined that the first display object is selected, and determines whether or not the second display object is selected, and settles the determination that the first display object is selected in a case where the processing circuitry determines that the second display object is selected.
