  • Patent number: 11340518
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a projection system and a projection operation method. The projection operation method causes the projection device disposed inside the biologically-modeled housing to project the facial image onto the face projection area of the biologically-modeled housing. The face projection area is light-transmissive and curved. The controller identifies the voice signal received by the sound-receiving device. When the controller obtains the identification result, if the projection data stored in the storage device includes the target projection data corresponding to the identification result, the controller controls the projection device to project the facial image according to the target projection data, or, if the projection data stored in the storage device does not include the target projection data, the controller controls the communication device to receive the target projection data from the external device and stores it in the storage device.

  • Patent number: 10642143
    Abstract: A projection correction method adapted to a projector. The projection correction method includes: sensing a temperature of a body of the projector, so as to obtain a first temperature value, where a focusing gear of the projector is located at a first gear position; determining whether the temperature of the body of the projector is changed, and when the temperature of the body of the projector is changed from the first temperature value to a second temperature value, the focusing gear is rotated by a predetermined distance to rotate the focusing gear to a second gear position; and determining whether a storage device stores a target gear position corresponding to the second temperature value, so as to rotate the focusing gear to the target gear position. Moreover, a projector using the aforementioned projection correction method is also provided.
