[0035] The following description is of the best-contemplated mode of carrying out the disclosure. This description is made for the purpose of illustration of the general principles of the disclosure and should not be taken in a limiting sense. The scope of the disclosure is best determined by reference to the appended claims.

[0036] Moreover, the terms “include”, “contain”, and any variation thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. Therefore, a process, method, object, or device that includes a series of elements not only includes these elements, but also includes other elements not specified expressly, or may include inherent elements of the process, method, object, or device. If no more limitations are made, an element limited by “include a/an . . . ” does not exclude other same elements existing in the process, the method, the article, or the device which includes the element.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 1, in a preferable embodiment of an image resolution adjustment system 10 of the present disclosure, the image resolution adjustment system 10 comprises a transmitter 11 and an image display device 12. A wireless link is established between the transmitter 11 and the image display device 12. The transmitter 11 transmits a wireless signal to the image display device 12 through the wireless link. The image display device 12 presets a first resolution display screen. The image display device 12 performs a position algorithm according to the wireless signal to calculate a relative position and matches the first resolution display screen according to the relative position to generate a second resolution display screen that matches the relative position. In this embodiment, the wireless signal could be a Bluetooth signal, an ultra-wideband (UWB) signal, or an infrared (IR) signal.

[0038] Specifically, when the image display device 12 obtains the wireless signal from the transmitter 11, the relative position between the transmitter 11 and the image display device 12 can be calculated according to the wireless signal to match the first resolution display screen according to the relative position, to generate the second resolution display screen that matches the relative position.

[0039] In this embodiment, the image display device 12 performs an image adjustment for the first resolution display screen according to the relative position to generate the second resolution display screen that matches the relative position.

[0040] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the image display device 12 comprises a receiver 13, a display 14, and a processor 15. A wireless link is established between the receiver 13 and the transmitter 11. The receiver 13 receives the wireless signal from the transmitter 11. The display 14 displays the first resolution display screen and the second resolution display screen. The processor 15 is electrically connected to the receiver 13 and the display 14. The processor 15 performs an image segmentation process for the first resolution display screen to generate a plurality of block images, which correspond to and match the relative positions respectively. When the receiver 13 receives the wireless signal from the transmitter 11 and transmits the wireless signal to the processor 15, the processor 15 would calculate the relative position between the transmitter 11 and the receiver 13 according to the wireless signal. Then, the processor 15 performs the image adjustment for the plurality of block images of the first resolution display screen according to the relative position to generate the second resolution display screen.

[0041] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the receiver 13 has a first antenna 130 and a second antenna 131. An antenna distance (not shown) exists between the first antenna 130 and the second antenna 131. The receiver 13 receives the wireless signal from the transmitter 11 through the first antenna 130 and the second antenna 131. Then, the processor 15 calculates a first angle and a second angle according to the coordinate information of the image display device 12, the wireless signal received by the first antenna 130 and the second antenna 131, and the antenna distance and calculates an angular phase difference information according to the first angle and the second angle. According to the angular phase difference information and the coordinate information of the image display device 12, the processor 15 performs the position algorithm to calculate the relative position. In this embodiment, the position algorithm calculates the relative position based on an angle of arrival (AOA).

[0042] For example, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the receiver 13 receives the wireless signal from the transmitter 11 and transmits the wireless signal to the processor 15. The processor 15 calculates the relative position L.sub.1, L.sub.2 to L.sub.n, wherein n≠0, between the transmitter 11 and the receiver 13 according to the wireless signal. The processor 15 determines the corresponding block image IM.sub.1 according to the relative position L.sub.1 and performs image interpolation for a plurality of pixels of the plurality of block images IM.sub.1, IM.sub.2 to IM.sub.n of the first resolution display screen according to the block image IM.sub.1 corresponding to the relative position L.sub.1 to generate the second resolution display screen. The image interpolation method is based on four pixels P.sub.1, P.sub.2, P.sub.3, and P.sub.4 and a supplementary pixel S in a display area D, where the coordinates of the four pixels are respectively (Xl, Y1), (X2, Y2), (X3, Y3) and (X4, Y4), and the coordinate of the supplementary pixels is (X.sub.S, Y.sub.S), according to which four distances can be obtained by calculation. According to the four distances, four weights can be determined correspondingly. Then, weighting can be performed respectively to obtain the supplementary pixels S based on the four weights and the corresponding four pixels P.sub.1, P.sub.2, P.sub.3, and P.sub.4.

[0043] When the preset first resolution display screen is based on n=9 and the resolution is 4096 pixels, the block images would be IM.sub.1 to IM.sub.9, and the relative positions would be L.sub.1-L.sub.9, where the block image IM.sub.1 matches the relative position L.sub.1, the block image IM.sub.2 matches the relative position L.sub.2, the block image IM.sub.3 matches the relative position L.sub.3, and the subsequent block images would match the relative positions respectively. The resolution of 4096 pixels is divided into two images for the left and right eye, so the resolutions are each 2048 pixels. Then, divide the 2048 pixels into 9 equal parts for 9 users to watch at the same time, wherein the pixels of the left and right images that can be viewed by each user are 227 pixels respectively. When the receiver 13 receives the wireless signal transmitted by the transmitter 11 and the number of the transmitters 11 is 4 (n=4) and the resolution is 4096 pixels, the block images would be and the relative positions would be L.sub.1-L.sub.4. The resolution of 4096 pixels is divided into two images for left and right eye, so the resolutions are each 2048 pixels. Then, divide the 2048 pixels into 4 equal parts for 4 users to watch at the same time, wherein the pixels of the left and right images that can be viewed by each user are 512 pixels respectively. Then, the supplementary pixel S between adjacent pixels is adjusted by the image adjustment to generate the second resolution display screen that matches the relative position.

respectively performing a match of the plurality of block images and the relative positions (S43); and
performing the image adjustment for the plurality of block images of the first resolution display screen according to the relative positions to generate the second resolution display screen that matches the relative position (S44).

[0048] In summary, the image display device could receive the wireless signal from the transmitter and could perform the position algorithm according to the wireless signal to calculate the relative position. The image display device performs the image adjustment for the first resolution display screen according to the relative position to adjust the screen resolution of the image display device to generate the second resolution display screen for excellent visual effects and convenience.
