Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical angle limiting mechanisms with a magnetic field-based positioning system. The magnetic positioning component generates magnetic field lines that interact with the magnetic sensor to automatically limit and precisely control the angle between display modules, eliminating the need for complex mechanical limiting structures while achieving both multi-angle adaptability and high precision.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical state from mechanical contact-based angle limiting to magnetic field-based positioning. By utilizing magnetic field strength and direction as controllable parameters, the system achieves precise angle control without mechanical wear or complex limiting structures, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and precision.
