Abstract
A projection apparatus and an operation method thereof are provided. The projection apparatus may include a projector, a detector, and a processor. The projector may be configured to project an image to a projection area. The detector may be configured to detect an ID pattern disposed onto the projection area and a position of the ID pattern. The processor may be configured to generate a projection image including content corresponding to the detected ID pattern such that the content is projected to the position corresponding to the detected ID pattern. The processor may be further configured to control the projector to project the generated projection image.
Claims16
A projection apparatus comprising:
- a projector;
- a communication interface;
- a memory configured to store mapping information that associates detectable identification (ID) patterns with a plurality of source apparatuses and a plurality of pieces of content;
- a detector;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the detector to detect an ID pattern physically attached to a projection area and detect a position of the ID pattern,
- identify, based on the stored mapping information, a source apparatus associated with the detected ID pattern from among the plurality of source apparatuses,
- receive, from the identified source apparatus associated with the detected ID pattern via the communication interface, content corresponding to the detected ID pattern from the identified source apparatus associated with the detected ID pattern,
- obtain a projection image that includes the content such that the content is projected to an area in the projection area identified based on the position of the detected ID pattern, and
- control the projector to project the obtained projection image in the projection area.
A method comprising:
- detecting an identification (ID) pattern physically attached to a projection area and detecting a position of the ID pattern;
- identifying, based on stored mapping information, a source apparatus associated with the detected ID pattern from among a plurality of source apparatuses, wherein the stored mapping information associates detectable ID patterns with the plurality of source apparatuses and a plurality of pieces of content;
- receiving, from the identified source apparatus associated with the detected ID pattern via a communication interface, content corresponding to the detected ID pattern from the identified source apparatus associated with the detected ID pattern;
- obtaining a projection image that includes the content such that the content is projected to an area in the projection area identified based on the position of the detected ID pattern;
- and
- projecting the obtained projection image in the projection area.
