JP 2000-131668 A

  The technology described in the above-mentioned patent document describes a case where the brightness of an image to be projected based on an input image is controlled according to the brightness of the environment in which the projector itself is installed. Therefore, even if the brightness of the screen can be adjusted in accordance with the amount of environmental light in which the projector itself is installed, particularly when the pointer device is used for specifying a point for the projection image, for example, the projection image is emitted by emitting laser light. When using a laser pointer that specifies the position in the center, the brightness of the projected environment and the point mark specified in the image are not matched, and the point mark is dark relative to the environment. In some cases, it may be difficult to visually recognize, or conversely, the point mark may be too bright for the environment and cause a burden on the eyes.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration inside the projector apparatus according to the embodiment. The block diagram which shows the function structure inside the point pen which concerns on the same embodiment. 6 is a flowchart showing the processing contents executed by the CPU of the projector device when the point pen according to the embodiment is used. The figure which illustrates the state which projected the locus | trajectory as one aspect | mode of the spot parameter | index which concerns on the embodiment according to environmental light.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention when a presentation is performed with a projection system including a DLP (registered trademark) projector apparatus will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of the projection system. In the figure, 1 is a projector device, 2 is a point pen (projection auxiliary device) dedicated to the projector device 1, and the projector device 1 and the point pen 2 are class 2 (radius of about 10 [ m]).

  The projector device 1 projects an image corresponding to an image signal input from an externally connected device or an image file recorded in a USB memory or the like onto a projection target screen SC.

  The image projected by the projector device 1 includes a gradation image for detecting position coordinates in addition to the original image, and the point pen 2 has an illuminance (brightness) with respect to a position directed to the screen SC at an instruction timing from the projector device 1. ) Is detected, the point position can be detected.

  The position coordinate detection image is, for example, a gradation image that changes from full gradation to zero gradation from the left end to the right end of the image, and is inverted to change from full gradation to zero gradation from the right end to the left end. A total of 4 gradation images that change from full gradation to zero gradation from the top edge to the bottom edge, and a gradation image that changes from full gradation to zero gradation from the bottom edge to the top edge. The screen is configured as one set, which is offset on the afterimage by the human naked eye and hardly affects the original projected image.

  As will be described in detail later, the point pen 2 includes a light receiving system and a calculation circuit for the position coordinates inside, and detects an illuminance at a position where the point is directed by using an arbitrary position in the projected image as a point. Then, the position coordinates pointed by the point pen 2 at that time are calculated and transmitted to the projector 1.

  Receiving this, the projector device 1 projects the pointer mark PT on the corresponding position in the projected image, for example, as shown in the figure.

Next, a schematic functional configuration of the projector apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes an input unit, which includes, for example, a video input terminal, an RGB input terminal, a VGA terminal, an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) terminal, etc., and is necessary for an image signal applied to any one of these terminals. After being digitized according to the above, it is sent to the image conversion unit 13 via the system bus SB1.

  Reference numeral 12 denotes a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface (I / F), which includes a Universal Serial Bus terminal. When, for example, a personal computer is connected as an external device using a USB cable (not shown), digital data such as still images, moving images, and sounds can be input to the projector device 1 by USB isochronous transfer.

  However, the image conversion unit 13, also called a scaler, converts the image signal input via the input unit 11 or the USB interface 12 into image data of a predetermined format suitable for projection, and sends the image data to the projection processing unit 14.

  At this time, the image conversion unit 13 also superimposes the image data such as symbols indicating various operation states for OSD (On Screen Display) and the above-described image data such as the pointer mark PT on the image data as necessary, and converts the processed image data into The image is sent to the projection processing unit 14.

  The projection processing unit 14 has a display memory (video memory) inside, and in accordance with the transmitted image data, a frame rate according to a predetermined format, for example, 120 [frame / second] and a color component. The micromirror element 15, which is a spatial light modulation element, is driven to display using data stored in the display memory by faster time-division driving obtained by multiplying the number of divisions and the number of display gradations.

  The micromirror element 15 is individually turned on / off at a high speed for each inclination angle of a plurality of micromirrors arranged in an array, for example, WXGA (Wide eXtended Graphics Array) (1280 pixels × 800 pixels). By displaying the image, an optical image is formed by the reflected light.

  At this time, the image displayed by the micromirror element 15 includes the above-described gradation image for detecting position coordinates.

  On the other hand, light of a plurality of colors including primary color lights of R, G, and B is sequentially emitted in a time division manner from the light source unit 16 in a time division manner. The light from the light source unit 16 is totally reflected by the mirror 17 and applied to the micromirror element 15.

  Then, an optical image corresponding to the color of the light from the light source unit 16 is formed by the reflected light from the micromirror element 15, and the formed optical image becomes a projection target through the projection lens unit 18. Not displayed on the screen SC in FIG.

  The CPU 19 controls all the operations of the above circuits. The CPU 19 is directly connected to the main memory 20 and the program memory 21. The main memory 20 is composed of, for example, an SRAM and functions as a work memory for the CPU 19. The program memory 21 is composed of an electrically rewritable nonvolatile memory, and stores an operation program executed by the CPU 19 and various fixed data. The CPU 19 executes a control operation in the projector device 1 using the main memory 20 and the program memory 21.

  Further, the program memory 21 is provided with a spot index mode table 21a. This spot index mode table 21a is detected by the point pen 2 as described later with respect to a spot index arbitrarily selected by the user, for example, the pointer mark PT of FIG. 1 or the locus of the point position of the point pen 2. A plurality of tables for changing any of the color, shape, size, blinking pattern, brightness, and texture (pattern) based on the illuminance.

The CPU 19 executes various projection operations in accordance with key operation signals from the operation unit 22.
The operation unit 22 includes a key operation unit provided on the main body of the projector device 1 and an infrared light receiving unit that receives infrared light from a remote controller (not shown) dedicated to the projector device 1. A key operation signal based on a key operated by a remote controller or a remote controller is directly output to the CPU 19.

  The CPU 19 is further connected to an audio processing unit 23 and a pointer communication unit 24 via the system bus SB1. The sound processing unit 23 includes a sound source circuit such as a PCM sound source, converts the sound data given during the projection operation into an analog signal, drives the speaker unit 25 to emit a loud sound, or generates a beep sound or the like as necessary.

  The pointer communication unit 24 wirelessly connects to the point pen 2 via the antenna 26 using, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark) technology, coordinate information transmitted from the point pen 2, operation signals of keys provided in the point pen 2, Information on the illuminance at a position where the point pen 2 is measured by the illuminance sensor of the point pen 2 is received and sent to the CPU 19.

  Next, a schematic functional configuration of the point pen 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the figure, reference numeral 31 denotes a light receiving lens portion. When the light receiving lens unit 31 is opposed to the screen SC, light at the spot position on the screen SC is captured by the light receiving lens unit 31 and imaged on the light receiving sensor 32. The light reception signal output from the light reception sensor 32 is sent to the light reception demodulation unit 33.

  Thus, the light receiving lens unit 31 and the light receiving sensor 32 become a highly directional sensor, and the illuminance at the spot position on the screen SC can be detected.

  The light reception demodulator 33 digitizes the light reception signal sent from the light reception sensor 32 at the instructed timing and converts it into a signal corresponding to the brightness (illuminance), thereby the above-mentioned four gradation images. Thus, the two-dimensional position coordinates in the projected image on the screen SC that the light receiving lens unit 31 is facing are acquired, and the acquired position coordinate data is sent to the CPU 34 via the system bus SB2.

  The CPU 34 is directly connected to the main memory 35 and the program memory 36. The main memory 35 is composed of, for example, an SRAM and functions as a work memory for the CPU 34. The program memory 36 is composed of an electrically rewritable nonvolatile memory, and stores an operation program executed by the CPU 34, various fixed data, and the like. The CPU 34 executes the control operation in the point pen 2 using the main memory 35 and the program memory 36.

The CPU 34 executes various point operations in response to key operation signals from the key operation unit 37.
The key operation unit 37 includes, for example, a power key of the point pen 2, a click key used for a click operation, a number key for selecting a menu item when selecting an operation menu, and a key operation signal based on the key operation. Is directly output to the CPU 34.

  In the present embodiment, these keys are all arranged at a position close to the tip side of the point pen 2 where the light receiving lens portion 31 is provided.

The CPU 34 is further connected to an illuminance sensor 38 and a projector communication unit 40 via the system bus SB2.
As shown in FIG. 1, the illuminance sensor 38 is on the tail end side opposite to the tip portion of the point pen 2 provided with the light receiving lens portion 31 in consideration of being covered by the user's gripping, and the above-mentioned When the key of the key operation unit 37 is directed upward, it is assumed that the key operation unit 37 is also provided at a position facing upward. The illuminance sensor 38 detects the illuminance under the environment where the point pen 2 is used, and sends the detected value to the CPU 34 as a measurement result.

  Thus, the illuminance sensor 38 detects the illuminance of the environment where the point pen 2 held by the user is located, not the illuminance at the position where the tip of the light receiving lens unit 31 of the point pen 2 is directed. Unlike the light receiving lens unit 31 and the light receiving sensor 32 described above, they have no directivity (weak).

  The projector communication unit 40 is wirelessly connected to the projector apparatus 1 side via the antenna 41 by, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark) technology, and processing based on the position coordinate data of the projected image and the illuminance detected and measured by the illuminance sensor 38. Information on the result and the like are transmitted to the projector device 1.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
The following operations on the projector device 1 side are executed based on the control of the CPU 19. The CPU 19 reads out the operation program and data stored in the program memory 21, develops and stores the operation program and data in the main memory 20, and executes the operation program.

  The operation program stored in the program memory 21 is stored in the program memory 21 when the projector apparatus 1 is shipped from the manufacturing factory. For example, when the projector apparatus 1 is upgraded, Also included are those for installing a new operation program or the like from the outside by connecting to an external personal computer or the like via the USB interface 12 or by connecting a USB memory storing version upgrade software to the USB terminal.

FIG. 4 shows a basic processing flow on the projector device 1 side when the point pen 2 is used.
The CPU 19 inserts a gradation image for detecting the coordinates of the point position as appropriate (every predetermined time (period based on the frame rate of the image) to be described later) into the image signal input from the input unit 11 or the USB interface 12. The corresponding image is displayed on the micromirror element 15 and projected onto the screen SC to be projected by the projection lens unit 18 using the light from the light source unit 16 (step S101).

  At this time, the CPU 19 superimposes an image of the spot index in a mode set at a position corresponding to the position coordinate information from the point pen 2 earned immediately before based on the mode of the spot index set at that time. Display.

Thereafter, the CPU 19 transmits a signal for instructing the point pen 2 to acquire coordinate information of the pointed position (step S102).
In response to this instruction signal, a position information signal obtained from the point pen 2 is received (step S103).

  The CPU 19 updates and sets the position for displaying the next spot index based on the received position coordinate signal of the point pen 2 (step S104).

  In addition, the CPU 19 is input from the input unit 11 or the USB interface 12 at that time, and based on the original image signal that has been projected, a histogram indicating the distribution of the feature amount of the image, for example, luminance, and the DCT ( A matrix of DC (direct current component) values indicating an average color for each reference block used in discrete cosine transform, etc., an average luminance of all pixels, etc. are analyzed, and the analysis result is held (step S105).

  Next, the CPU 19 compares the analysis result held in the immediately preceding step S105 with the analysis result similarly held at the timing one frame before the image data, calculates the similarity, and then calculates the similarity It is determined whether or not the projected image has changed by a certain amount or more from the image projected immediately before depending on whether or not is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value (step S106).

  When the similarity calculated here is smaller than a preset threshold value and it is determined that the projected image has not changed by a certain amount or more from the image projected immediately before, the CPU 19 then passes through the USB interface 12. When reading out the image data from the USB memory connected in this manner, it is determined whether or not a page switching operation (for example, a slide feed operation of the presentation material) has been performed on the operation unit 22 (step S107).

  If it is determined that the page switching operation has not been performed, the CPU 19 returns to the process from step S101 again to shift to a new image projection process.

  However, the processing of steps S101 to S107 is a projection operation itself in which an image is displayed by the micromirror element 15, a light image is formed by the light from the light source unit 16, and the projection lens unit 18 projects the color image. For example, 120 [frames / second].

  Therefore, the acquisition of the coordinate information of the point position with the point pen 2 and the superimposed projection of the spot index on the projection image based on the acquired coordinate position are also executed at the frame rate of the color image.

However, when it is determined in step S106 that the projected image has changed by a certain amount or more from the image projected immediately before that, and in step S107, it is determined that the page switching operation has been performed on the operation unit 22. As the timing when the content of the projected image has changed greatly, the CPU 19 transmits a signal instructing the point pen 2 to acquire the illuminance of the ambient light (step S108).
In response to this instruction signal, an illuminance information signal acquired from the point pen 2 is received (step S109).

  The CPU 19 accesses the spot index mode table 21a according to the illuminance information received from the point pen 2, and determines the display mode information according to the illuminance at the spot index at that time from the preset (step). S110).

  Then, the display mode of the determined spot index is newly updated and set (step S111), and the process returns to step S101 again.

  FIG. 5 illustrates a case where the display mode of such a spot index is changed according to the illuminance acquired by the point pen 2. Here, as a spot index indicating the point position by the point pen 2, instead of the pointer mark PT as shown in FIG. The state where the trajectory TR represented by is displayed.

  FIG. 5A shows a trajectory TR1 when the environment of the point pen 2 is relatively dark and the environment where the screen SC is installed is considered to be dark as well. In a dark environment, considering the burden on the eyes, the background is a color that is not often used in general documents, for example, a light color (light color) with relatively low brightness. By selecting yellow, pink, etc., the point position of the point pen 2 is sufficiently identified on the projection image as the background, and the trajectory TR1 is superimposed and projected so that it can be visually recognized gently and appropriately. Like that.

  On the other hand, FIG. 5B shows a trajectory TR2 when the environment of the point pen 2 is relatively bright and the environment where the screen SC is installed is considered to be bright as well. In a relatively bright environment, it is not necessary to consider the burden on the eyes so much that colors that can be clearly distinguished from the background with priority given to saturation as well as luminance, such as luminance and saturation. By selecting a high (dark), clear red, purple, or green color, the trajectory TR2 is superimposed so that the point position of the point pen 2 can be sufficiently identified on the projected image as the background. Let it project.

  Note that the example shown in FIG. 5 described the case where a very simple determination of illuminance is performed such that the environment is divided into two stages, “bright” and “dark”, according to the illuminance acquired by the point pen 2. However, this is for the purpose of simplifying the explanation, and it is possible to set the illuminance classification to be divided into three or more stages, for example, about 15 stages. It may be set as a stepless change.

  As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to display the spot index superimposed on the image in a state that is easy to see and easy to see according to the brightness of the display environment based on the illuminance acquired on the point pen 2 side. It becomes.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the illuminance income is obtained on the side of the point pen 2 only when the signal for instructing the acquisition of the illuminance information is transmitted from the projector device 1 to the point pen 2. In view of the point pen 2 to be used, wasteful power consumption can be avoided.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, by analyzing the characteristics of the image to be projected, an illuminance acquisition instruction signal that triggers variable setting of the display mode of the spot index is transmitted only when the image changes greatly from the analysis result. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an unnatural depiction due to an inadvertent change in the display mode of the spot index.

  In the above-described embodiment, the point pen 2 is instructed to acquire position detection in accordance with the position detection image projected by the projector apparatus 1, so that the interactive method used particularly in a DLP (registered trademark) projector is used. It can be easily applied to a dedicated electronic pen or the like.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, the frequency which the projector apparatus 1 transmits the signal which instruct | indicates acquisition of illuminance to the point pen 2 shall be less than the frequency which transmits the signal which instruct | indicates acquisition of the point position with the point pen 2. Therefore, it is possible to avoid wasteful power consumption of the battery-driven point pen 2 while maintaining a smooth change of the spot index on the projected image.

  Further, as partly shown in the above embodiment, a display mode including at least one of the color, shape, size, blinking pattern, brightness, and texture is determined as a spot index that can be expressed. Thus, since various aspects are changed according to illuminance, it is possible to express a spot index that is easy to visually recognize in response to various requests of the user.

  In the above-described embodiment, an image obtained by superimposing a spot index on an image to be originally projected and synthesized can be provided to a viewer user.

  Further, when the functions described in the above embodiments are incorporated in a display device having a display unit, a compact system including point display using spot indicators can be realized.

  In particular, when the present invention is applied to a projection apparatus that projects an image on an external screen or the like, projection of an image using a spot index such as a point instruction in a presentation can be used more effectively.

  In the above embodiment, by controlling the display mode of the spot index based on the illuminance acquired on the point pen 2 side, display and projection with illuminance more suited to the environment can be realized.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the position where the illuminance sensor 38 of the point pen 2 is provided is intentionally placed on the opposite side of the point pen 2 casing with respect to the position where the light receiving lens part 31 and other key operation part 37 of the point pen 2 are provided. Since it is provided, the possibility that the illuminance sensor 38 is covered with the user's finger or the like is reduced as much as possible even when holding the point pen 2 and operating the key operation unit 37, and the operation associated with the illuminance acquisition is reliably realized. it can.

In addition, although the point which determines the display mode of a spot parameter | index was demonstrated in the said embodiment, according to the brightness of the display environment based on the illumination intensity acquired by the point pen 2 side, not only the display mode of a spot parameter | index but superimposition Adjust the display mode of the image data itself to be projected on the side to be projected, for example, to make it slightly darker in a dark environment, so that an image that is easy to view without burdening the eyes can be viewed by the viewer You may make it provide to a certain user.
In that case, it is desirable to determine the display mode in consideration of the balance between the two.

  By doing so, it is possible to provide a user with an easy-to-view image without placing a burden on the eyes as a superimposed composite image, as well as a spot index.

  In addition, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where this invention was applied to the projection system containing the projector apparatus of a DLP (trademark) system, of course this invention is not restricted to this.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. Further, the functions executed in the above-described embodiments may be combined as appropriate as possible. The above-described embodiment includes various stages, and various inventions can be extracted by an appropriate combination of a plurality of disclosed constituent elements. For example, even if some constituent requirements are deleted from all the constituent requirements shown in the embodiment, if the effect is obtained, a configuration from which the constituent requirements are deleted can be extracted as an invention.
