Abstract

A method for proposing a location of a display device, includes: scanning, by an augmented reality device, an indoor space; receiving, by the augmented reality device, viewing environment information including viewing space information, viewing time information and viewing content information to the augmented reality device; and proposing, by the augmented reality device, an optimal location/type of the display device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for proposing a location of a display device, the method comprising:
scanning, by an augmented reality device, an indoor space;
receiving, by the augmented reality device, viewing environment information comprising viewing space information, viewing time information and viewing content information; and
proposing, by the augmented reality device, an optimal location of a display device and a type of the display device,
wherein the proposing of the optimal location of the display device and the type of the display device comprises determining reflection characteristics of the display device,
wherein the determining of the reflection characteristics comprises determining a light path by the optical object, checking a light reflection image on the display device based on the determined light path, and outputting in image on a screen of the display device, and synthesizing the light reflection image with the image displayed on the screen of the display device to emulate an image quality in a bright room.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scanning of the indoor space comprises scanning a size of the indoor space.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the scanning of the size of the indoor space comprises scanning a shape of the indoor space.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the scanning of the indoor space further comprises scanning arrangement of non-optical object in the indoor space.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the non-optical object comprises a chair, a sofa, or a living room dresser.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the scanning the indoor space further comprises scanning arrangement of optical object in the indoor space.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the optical object comprises a window through which external light is incident, or luminaire which emits light.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the optimal location of the display device is determined based on the arrangement of the non-optical object in the indoor space.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the optimal location of the display device is determined based on the arrangement of the optical object in the indoor space.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the receiving of the viewing environment information comprises receiving the viewing space information.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the viewing space information comprises a direction which the indoor space faces.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the receiving of the viewing environment information further comprises receiving the viewing time information.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the viewing time information comprises information on day time and night time.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the receiving of the viewing environment information further comprises receiving the viewing content information.

15. The method of claim 6 , wherein the proposing of the optimal location of the display device and the type of the display device further comprises outputting the optimal location of the display device and the type of the display device to the augmented reality device based on determined reflection characteristics.

16. A device of proposing a location of a display device, comprising:
a scan unit which scans an indoor space;
an input unit which receives viewing environment information comprising viewing space information, viewing time information and viewing content information; and
a proposing unit which proposes an optimal location of a display device and a type of the display device,
wherein the proposing unit comprises a determining unit which determines reflection characteristics of the display device, and
the determining unit determines the reflection characteristics of the display device by determining a light path by the optical object, checking a light reflection image on the display device based on the determined light path, and outputting in image on a screen of the display device, and synthesizing the light reflection image with the image displayed on the screen of the display device to emulate an image quality in a bright room.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the scan unit comprises an indoor space size scan unit which scans a size of the indoor space, a non-optical object scan unit which scans arrangement of non-optical object in the indoor space, and an optical object scan unit which scans arrangement of optical object in the indoor space.

18. The device of claim 17 , wherein the input unit comprises a viewing space input unit which receives the viewing space information, a viewing time input unit which receives the viewing time information, and a viewing content input unit which receives the viewing content information.

19. The device of claim 18 , wherein the proposing unit further comprises an outputting unit which outputs the optimal location and the type of the display device based on determined reflection characteristics.
