Problem

Current display technologies lack the ability to dynamically convert static images into engaging dynamic images in real-time based on environmental airflow or user input, limiting interactive and immersive experiences.

Innovation Solution

An image conversion system comprising an input device and a display device that receive and process airflow information to generate dynamic parameters, converting static images into dynamic images by moving subjects within the image based on airflow magnitude, direction, and duration, and displaying the converted images.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If static images are displayed on the display device, then the display function is simple and reliable, but the user experience lacks interactivity and immersion

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

Solution Approach 1:

An airflow sensor is introduced as an intermediary device between the user and the display system. The sensor captures airflow input (blowing direction, strength, duration) and converts it into control signals that modify the displayed images. This intermediary enables interactive functionality without requiring complex integration of airflow sensing directly into the display device itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The display system transitions from static image display to dynamic image modification based on real-time airflow input. The displayed images change dynamically according to the direction, strength, and duration of airflow detected by the sensor, creating an interactive experience where user input directly influences the visual output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Speed

If multiple static images are played sequentially to generate dynamic images, then the implementation is simple, but the real-time responsiveness to environmental airflow is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time responsivenessVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback loop where the airflow sensor continuously monitors environmental airflow and sends real-time signals to the display device. The display device processes this feedback information and immediately adjusts the displayed images accordingly, creating a responsive system that adapts to changing environmental conditions in real-time rather than playing pre-defined sequences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If the display device processes airflow information and converts static images to dynamic images, then the user experience is enhanced, but the processing load and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage conversion capabilityVSAvoidprocessing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system is segmented into distinct functional components: an airflow sensor that handles input acquisition, a processing unit that analyzes airflow patterns and determines image modification parameters, and a display device that renders the final output. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving processing efficiency and reducing the energy burden on any single component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
