Presentation system having static and dynamic components
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional funeral and 'celebration of life' events face challenges in customizing the presentation to honor the deceased, as existing systems require projectors, electrical power, and memorial articles, and are not well-suited for dynamic or flexible displays that can be easily customized or replaced.
Innovation Solution
A customizable display system featuring a frame with internal lighting, removable fabric with printed images, and a projector that can display static and dynamic images, allowing for easy replacement and customization of images, and integration with memorial containers like caskets or urns, along with an audio system for a comprehensive tribute.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional projection systems are used to display images during funeral services, then dynamic and customizable presentations are achieved, but the system requires electrical power and complex equipment setup
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses printed images on fabric banners that can be easily replaced, creating a simplified copy of the projection system function without requiring actual projectors or electrical power. The fabric banners serve as portable, pre-prepared visual displays that capture the essence of customizable presentations in a low-tech format.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs inexpensive fabric banners with printed images that can be quickly swapped between services. These banners are designed for single or limited use, eliminating the need for expensive, complex projection equipment while achieving the goal of customizable presentations for different funeral services.
2Duration of action of stationary object
If embalming is used to preserve the body for longer display, then the time between death and funeral is expanded, but the cost increases and environmental harm is caused
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates visual representations (fabric banners with printed images) that capture and preserve the memory and essence of the deceased without requiring physical preservation of the body. The banners serve as enduring visual tributes that can be displayed indefinitely without chemicals or preservation processes.
3Ease of operation
If fabric banners with printed images are used instead of projection systems, then the system becomes portable and does not require electrical power, but the ability to display dynamic images is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves flexibility through the ease of replacing fabric banners between different funeral services. While each individual banner is static, the overall system is dynamic because banners can be quickly swapped to reflect different deceased persons, themes, and memories, providing content flexibility without requiring electronic displays.

AI summary
A presentation system for a celebration of an individual comprising: a frame; a lighting system disposed along an inner edge of a perimeter of the frame; a fabric removably attached to the frame disposed outwardly from the lighting system adapted to be illuminated by the lighting system; an image included on the fabric associated with aspects of a subject of the celebration of the individual; and, a memorial container disposed in front of the fabric wherein the image and the memorial container cooperate to form a composite image when viewed by an audience.
