Solution Overview
Problem
The high cost and inconvenience of configuring display units on multiple electronic devices and the need for various instruments to collect parameters from non-electronic objects, such as human bodies and daily articles, without a display unit.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a display unit and a data acquisition unit that can be attached to objects, maintaining a relative position and acquiring data to display on the unit, with features like deformable displays and various connection methods to suit different objects, including internal and external data collection and communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If each electronic device is configured with a display unit, then display capability is improved, but cost increases extremely high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single electronic device that can function as a display unit for multiple different objects (electronic devices, non-electronic objects, human bodies). Instead of manufacturing separate display units for each object type, one universal device with adaptable attachment mechanisms and data acquisition capabilities serves all purposes, dramatically reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining display functionality across diverse applications.
2Measurement precision
If various instruments are used to collect parameters from non-electronic objects, then data acquisition capability is improved, but cost increases and convenience decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions into a single integrated device: data acquisition capabilities (sensors, detectors), display functionality, and attachment mechanisms are combined in one unit. This eliminates the need for users to separately purchase and operate multiple instruments for different measurement tasks, reducing both cost and operational complexity while maintaining comprehensive data acquisition capabilities across various object types.
3Ease of manufacture
If a single electronic device is used to display data for various objects, then cost is reduced, but adaptability to different object shapes and surfaces decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by incorporating adjustable and reconfigurable components in the electronic device. The attachment mechanisms can be dynamically adjusted to fit different object shapes and surfaces, and the data acquisition units can be reconfigured to measure different parameters based on the attached object type. This dynamic adaptability allows a single device design to serve multiple object types effectively without compromising cost efficiency.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an electronic device. The electronic device includes a display unit and a data acquisition unit, wherein the electronic device can be attached to an object and can be maintained in a relative position relationship with the object, and at least a part of the electronic device and an external surface of the object meet a predefined condition; and the data acquisition unit is connected to the display unit, and is configured to acquire data related to the object when the electronic device is attached to the object; and the display unit is further configured to display the data. The electronic device in the present disclosure can be attached to a variety of objects, and can acquire data related to the objects and then display the data on the display unit, to achieve the technical effect of enabling an object which is a non-electronic device and an electronic device without a display unit to have a display unit. In addition, the electronic device can be applicable to a variety of objects, thereby saving cost of manufacturing a plurality of displays.
