Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices require manual adjustment of the display unit's height and tilt angle, which is inconvenient and cumbersome when the user's posture changes.

Innovation Solution

A display device equipped with a camera that captures user images to calculate distances and pixel distances between facial features, adjusting the display unit's posture automatically based on user posture through a controller that stores and applies user preference settings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual adjustment of display unit posture is used, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates

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

Solution Approach 1:

The display device automatically adjusts its own posture based on images captured by the camera. The controller analyzes user posture from captured images and autonomously controls the posture adjustment driving unit to optimize the display unit angle, eliminating the need for manual intervention and enabling the system to serve itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automated system combining camera-based image capture, computer vision algorithms for posture analysis, and electronic control of the driving unit. This substitution of mechanical manual operation with optical and computational systems resolves the contradiction between operational ease and device complexity.

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

2Extent of automation

If automatic posture adjustment based on user detection is implemented, then ease of operation improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveextent of automationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The camera serves multiple functions: capturing user images for posture analysis, detecting user presence, and providing input for automated adjustment. By making the camera a multi-functional component that handles both detection and control input, the patent reduces overall system complexity while maintaining high automation extent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-adjustment by automatically analyzing captured images and controlling its own posture without external intervention. This self-service capability maximizes automation extent while minimizing the need for additional complex control interfaces or manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If camera-based user detection is used, then adaptability improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The camera acts as an intermediary that captures visual information about user posture and converts it into data usable by the controller. This intermediary approach enables the system to adapt to different user postures without requiring direct physical sensors on the user or complex mechanical detection mechanisms, thus improving adaptability while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
