Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack the ability to automatically adjust their display posture to accommodate user preferences and changes in user position, requiring manual adjustment by the user.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus equipped with a camera, driver, and processor that identifies user posture and adjusts the display position and posture based on captured images, using neural network models to optimize the display for the user's current and predicted postures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual adjustment of display is used, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates as user needs to directly move and adjust holder for each space and posture change

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic apparatus automatically adjusts its display posture by capturing user posture information through a camera and processing it to determine optimal display orientation, eliminating the need for manual user adjustment while maintaining simple device structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical adjustment process is replaced with an automated system that uses camera-based posture recognition and computational processing to automatically control display orientation, substituting mechanical user manipulation with automated sensing and control

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

2Productivity

If display size is increased, then productivity is improved, but device complexity worsens due to limitations in mounting on manual holders

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveproductivityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables larger display sizes by dynamically adjusting display posture based on real-time user posture detection, allowing the display to be optimally positioned for various viewing scenarios rather than being constrained by fixed manual holder mounting

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If automated posture adjustment is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to addition of camera and processing systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic apparatus performs self-adjustment by automatically capturing user posture via camera, processing the posture data, and orienting the display accordingly without requiring user intervention, thereby improving ease of operation while accepting necessary system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
