PROJECTION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240251063 titled 'PROJECTION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a projection apparatus that can detect the position of a pointer on a projection plane and project graphics at that position.
- Projection optical system projects an input image onto a projection plane.
- Memory and processor act as a position-detecting unit to locate the pointer's position.
- Control unit ensures the projection system projects the input image and graphics at the detected position.
- Graphics move in response to scrolling within a specific range of the input image.
Key Features and Innovation
- Detection of pointer position on a projection plane.
- Projection of graphics at the detected position.
- Dynamic movement of graphics in response to scrolling.
Potential Applications
- Interactive presentations.
- Educational tools.
- Gaming interfaces.
Problems Solved
- Enhances user interaction with projected images.
- Allows for dynamic adjustments based on user input.
Benefits
- Improved user engagement.
- Enhanced visual presentations.
- Customizable interactive experiences.
Commercial Applications
- Interactive advertising displays.
- Virtual reality gaming systems.
- Educational interactive whiteboards.

Questions about Projection Apparatus
How does the position-detecting unit locate the pointer's position accurately?
The position-detecting unit uses sensors or cameras to track the pointer's movement and determine its position on the projection plane.
What are the potential limitations of projecting graphics at detected positions?
Potential limitations may include accuracy issues in detecting the pointer's position, lag in updating the projected graphics, and compatibility with different types of input devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
a projection apparatus according to the present invention, includes: a projection optical system configured to project an input image onto a projection plane, and at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a position-detecting unit configured to detect a position pointed to by a pointer on the projection plane; and a control unit configured to perform control so that the projection optical system projects the input image and projects a graphic at the position detected by the position-detecting unit, wherein in a case where an image is scrolled in a specific range of the input image, the control unit performs control so that the graphic corresponding to the specific range moves in a direction in accordance with the scrolling.
