Abstract

A projection system and a projection method are provided. The projection system includes a projection module, an image capture apparatus, an input apparatus, and a processor. The processor is configured to: receive an input signal from the input apparatus and generate an input command accordingly; drive the image capture apparatus to obtain a target captured image, where the target captured image includes a target image corresponding to a target object; transmit the target captured image and the input command to a cloud server; receive an analysis result generated by an artificial intelligence computing module according to the input command and the target image from the cloud server; determine display information according to the analysis result, and calculate a display position of the display information within a projection range; and drive the projection module to project an information image with display information.

Dependent claims

A projection system, adaptable for being communicatively connected to a cloud server, the cloud server having an artificial intelligence computation module, and the projection system comprising:

a projection module, an input apparatus, a processor, and an image capture apparatus, wherein the processor is connected to the projection module, the image capture apparatus and the input apparatus, and is configured to:
receive at least one input signal from the input apparatus, and generate an input command according to the at least one input signal;
drive the image capture apparatus to capture an image towards a target environment space having a target object after receiving the at least one input signal to obtain a target captured image, wherein the target captured image comprises a target image corresponding to the target object;
transmit the target captured image and the input command to the cloud server after receiving the target captured image;
receive an analysis result from the cloud server, wherein the analysis result comprises target information corresponding to the target object, and the analysis result is generated by the artificial intelligence computation module according to the input command and the target image;
determine display information, and calculate a display position of the display information within a projection range according to the analysis result, wherein the display information comprises the target information;
and
drive the projection module to project an information image with the display information towards the target environment space.
