Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile devices face challenges in providing readable content to users when the device is shaken during movement, such as while on a bus or subway, due to the instability of the screen display.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that generate an event signal in response to the motion of an external object, sense the movement of the object, and adjust the screen display based on this movement, including determining the direction, distance, and velocity of the object's motion to enhance readability by either magnifying or moving the screen content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the mobile device displays contents on a stationary screen, then the content can be provided to the user, but the readability deteriorates when the user is moving or the device is shaken

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereadability of contentsVSAvoidstability of screen display
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the screen display adaptive to the device's motion state. The system transitions from a static display to a dynamic one that automatically adjusts based on detected movement, shaking, or acceleration. When motion is detected, the system can stabilize the display through image processing techniques or adjust the display parameters to maintain readability despite the changing physical conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring the device's motion state through sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes) and using this information to adjust the display in real-time. The system receives feedback about the device's movement and automatically modifies the screen content presentation to compensate for the motion, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains optimal readability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If the screen displays contents while the device moves, then the user can access information, but the visual stability and clarity of the display deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user movementVSAvoiddisplay clarity and stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts display parameters based on the detected motion state. When the device is moving or shaken, the display clarity is maintained through real-time image processing, focus adjustment, or display parameter modification. This dynamic adaptation ensures that the display remains clear and stable despite the changing physical conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes display parameters such as focus distance, image sharpness, or display brightness in response to detected motion. By modifying these parameters dynamically, the system maintains optimal display clarity even when the device is in motion, adapting the optical and electrical parameters of the display to compensate for the physical movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
