2Ease of manufacture

If fixed hardware eye protection features are implemented, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but fine-grained dynamic adjustment capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehardware simplicityVSAvoiddynamic adjustment capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces fixed mechanical/hardware eye protection mechanisms with software-based control systems. Instead of relying on predetermined hardware features, the system uses algorithms to calculate and adjust display parameters dynamically, enabling fine-grained control while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-adjustment by automatically detecting environmental illuminance and computing optimal display parameters without user intervention. The eye protection function serves itself by continuously monitoring conditions and adapting parameters, eliminating the need for complex manual configuration or multiple hardware variants.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If environmental illuminance detection is added, then adaptive color temperature adjustment is enabled, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental adaptationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an illuminance sensor as an intermediary component that bridges the environment and the display system. This single sensor provides the necessary environmental data, which is then processed by software algorithms to determine optimal display parameters, avoiding the need for multiple complex sensing systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary calculation of display parameters based on detected illuminance values using predetermined algorithms and lookup tables. By pre-computing adjustment strategies and storing them in software, the system reduces real-time computational complexity while maintaining adaptive capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
