Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in viewing and hearing audio-visual content on mobile devices when moving, as these devices do not automatically adjust their direction or volume based on the user's position, requiring manual adjustments.

Innovation Solution

An audio-visual adjustment device with a detection circuit, control circuit, and driver mechanism that detects a target object, determines the necessary adjustment angle, and automatically adjusts the device's position and orientation to maintain optimal viewing and hearing experiences, including adjusting volume based on distance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the mobile terminal is fixed in position, then the structure is simple, but the user cannot view content from different angles or distances

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing adaptabilityVSAvoidadjustment mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment capabilities by equipping the mobile terminal with adjustable mounting structures that allow real-time repositioning. The terminal can be rotated and repositioned along the viewing direction through motorized or manual adjustment mechanisms, transforming a static device into a dynamically adaptable one that responds to user position changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure is divided into independent adjustment components, with one degree of freedom for rotation around the vertical axis and another for positioning along the viewing direction. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and enables granular control over the terminal's orientation and position.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If manual adjustment is required, then the device structure is simple, but the user experience deteriorates when moving around

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic adjustmentVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates sensors that detect the user's position and movement in real-time, providing feedback to the control system. Based on this feedback, the mobile terminal automatically adjusts its orientation and position to maintain optimal viewing angles, creating a closed-loop control system that continuously adapts to user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile terminal performs automatic adjustment without requiring direct user intervention. The system autonomously detects user position changes and executes appropriate adjustments, making the device self-adaptive and eliminating the need for manual operation while maintaining optimal viewing conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Use of energy by moving object

If the terminal remains stationary, then energy consumption is low, but the user cannot maintain optimal viewing position when moving

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy for automatic adjustmentVSAvoidposition adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of continuous adjustment, the system employs periodic adjustment based on detected user movement triggers. The terminal remains stationary during stable viewing conditions to conserve energy, and only activates adjustment mechanisms when sensor data indicates the user has moved to a new position, thereby balancing energy efficiency with adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

An audio-visual adjustment device includes an adjustment mechanism, a detection circuit, a control circuit and a driver. The detection circuit, the control circuit and the driver are disposed on the adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is used to clamp and adjust an audio-visual device. The detection circuit is used to detect a target object and obtain description information of the target object. The control circuit is used to determine an adjustment angle of the audio-visual device based on the description information of the target object and current position information of the audio-visual device. The driver is used to drive the adjustment mechanism to adjust at least one of a position and an angle of the audio-visual device based on the adjustment angle, thereby enabling the audio-visual device to be oriented towards the target object.
