Samsung patents projector that auto-fixes image shape on walls
Samsung has filed a patent for an electronic device with a built-in projector that automatically adjusts the image shape to fit a specific surface. The system uses stored data to correct the angle and position of the projected picture, ensuring it appears square and undistorted on the target area.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic device including a projection unit; a memory to store at least one piece of projection information; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to: identify a projection position and a projection angle corresponding to a projection surface position on which an image is to be output based on a user command; acquire correction information included in projection information corresponding to the projection surface position among the at least one piece of stored projection information; and move the projection position onto a region corresponding to the projection surface position that is corrected based on the correction information and control the projection unit to output the image which is acquired using keystone correction based on the region corresponding to the projection surface position corrected through the correction information.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a projection unit; a memory to store at least one projection information; and at least one processor configured to: identify a projection position and a projection angle corresponding to a projection surface position on which an image is to be output based on a user command; acquire correction information included in projection information corresponding to the projection surface position among the at least one projection information stored in the memory; and move the projection position onto a region corresponding to the projection surface position that is corrected based on the correction information and control the projection unit to output the image which is acquired using keystone correction based on the region corresponding to the projection surface position corrected based on the correction information.
