Adaptive Display System Using Environmental Sensor Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display systems using code images, such as QR codes, often present unsuitable images to users based on their environment, as the displayed image is fixed and not adaptable to changing conditions.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus that scans an image pattern on a physical medium, acquires status parameters from the environment using sensors, and determines a display object to be presented to the user based on these parameters, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the displayed content in relation to the captured image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed display image is used according to the code image, then the display process is simple and fast, but the displayed image may be unsuitable for the user's current situation
Solution Approach 1:
The display image changes dynamically based on environmental conditions detected by sensors. The system transitions from a static fixed image to a dynamic adaptive image that responds to temperature, humidity, light, and other environmental parameters, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates environmental sensors that continuously monitor external conditions and feed this information back to the display control unit. This feedback mechanism enables the display to automatically adjust its content based on the current environment, achieving adaptability without requiring complex manual intervention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If environmental sensors are added to detect status parameters, then the display can adapt to environmental conditions, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The personal digital assistant serves multiple functions: it acts as both the environmental monitoring device with sensors and the display device. By making the PDA universal, the system achieves environmental adaptability without adding separate dedicated devices, thus minimizing the increase in overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the environmental sensing function and the display function into a single integrated system (the personal digital assistant). The sensors, processing unit, and display are merged into one device, reducing the need for multiple separate components and simplifying the overall system structure while maintaining adaptability.
3Loss of information
If multiple display objects are prepared for different environments, then the suitability of displayed content improves, but the information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of preparing completely different display objects for each environment, the system uses parameter changes within a single display object or template. The display content is dynamically adjusted by modifying parameters such as temperature readings, humidity levels, or light conditions based on sensor input, reducing the need for multiple pre-prepared objects and simplifying information processing.
