Innovation Solution

An automatic adjustable display system comprising a display unit, an image acquiring unit, a control unit, and an implementing unit that analyzes user images in real-time to adjust the display's distance and height based on preset conditions, ensuring comfortable viewing angles and heights.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the display position is fixed, then the device structure is simple, but the user cannot maintain optimal viewing position leading to eye strain and reduced working efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing comfortVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system automatically detects user position through image processing and self-adjusts its position and orientation without manual intervention. The control unit processes images from the image acquiring unit, determines user state information, and automatically generates adjusting instructions to move the display to the optimal position, making the system serve itself rather than requiring user adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The display system transitions from a static fixed position to a dynamic adjustable position. The implementing unit receives adjusting instructions and executes position changes, allowing the display to adapt its position and orientation based on real-time user state detection, creating a dynamic system that responds to changing viewing conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Extent of automation

If manual adjustment is provided, then some adaptability is achieved, but automatic adjustment is not realized and users still need to maintain fixed gestures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic adjustmentVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automated control system. Instead of users physically moving the display, the control unit processes images, analyzes user state information, and automatically generates instructions for the implementing unit to adjust the display position, substituting mechanical user action with an automated control loop.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop where the image acquiring unit continuously captures user position information, the control unit analyzes this feedback to determine user state, and the implementing unit adjusts the display based on this analysis. This closed-loop feedback system enables automatic adaptation to user positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If the display remains at a fixed distance and angle, then the system is simple to operate, but user fatigue increases and working efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworking efficiencyVSAvoidadjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of user position and generates adjusting instructions before the user experiences discomfort. By continuously monitoring user state information through image processing and proactively adjusting the display position, the system prevents eye strain and fatigue before they occur, maintaining optimal viewing conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The display system automatically monitors user position and self-adjusts to maintain optimal viewing conditions, eliminating the need for users to manually reposition the display or maintain rigid postures. This self-service capability directly improves working efficiency by reducing user fatigue.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
