PROJECTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING OBJECT WITH IMAGE PROJECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107176 titled 'PROJECTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING OBJECT WITH IMAGE PROJECTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a projecting device that includes a light source, projection lens, camera, light blocker, and processors to control the device's functions.

  • Light source outputs image light
  • Projection lens projects image light externally
  • Camera photographs object between camera and projection surface
  • Light blocker blocks image light during blocking period
  • Processor obtains illuminance information, sets blocking and photographing periods, and controls light blocker and camera

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various industries such as:

  • Photography
  • Surveillance
  • Augmented reality

Problems Solved

This technology solves the following problems:

  • Ensures optimal lighting conditions for object photography
  • Prevents interference from external light sources
  • Improves image quality and accuracy

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced image quality
  • Precise object photography
  • Improved control over lighting conditions

Potential Commercial Applications

The potential commercial applications of this technology include:

  • Photography studios
  • Security systems
  • Medical imaging devices

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of light blockers in photography studios to control lighting conditions during photo shoots.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does the device determine the optimal blocking and photographing periods based on illuminance information? 2. Can the device adapt to changing lighting conditions in real-time to adjust the blocking and photographing periods accordingly?


Original Abstract Submitted

a projecting device includes a light source configured to output an image light; a projection lens configured to externally project the image light; a camera configured to photograph an object positioned between the camera and an external projection surface of the image light that is projected; a light blocker configured to block the image light output by the light source during a blocking period; and at least one processor configured to: obtain illuminance information regarding illuminance of the external projection surface, set the blocking period during which the image light output by the light source is blocked, based on the illuminance information, set a photographing period within the blocking period, control the light blocker to block the image light output by the light source during the blocking period, and control the camera to photograph the object during the photographing period.
