Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices require manual adjustment of height and tilt angle, which is inconvenient and cumbersome for users as their posture changes.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a signal input unit, a display unit equipped with a camera, a supporter, and a posture adjustment driving unit, controlled by a controller using artificial intelligence to automatically adjust the display unit's posture based on user posture inference from camera images.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual adjustment of display unit posture is used, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display device automatically adjusts its own posture based on user posture detection through the camera and AI model, eliminating the need for manual operation. The system serves itself by detecting user position and autonomously controlling the posture adjustment driving unit to optimize display angle and height.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automated system combining camera-based user posture detection, AI model processing, and electronic control of the posture adjustment driving unit. This substitutes human operation with an integrated sensor-processing-actuation system.

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

2Ease of operation

If automatic posture adjustment using AI model is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The controller integrates multiple functions including camera signal processing, AI model execution for posture inference, and control of the posture adjustment driving unit. This multi-functional integration automates the entire posture adjustment process from detection to execution, improving ease of operation despite increased complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If frequent posture adjustments are made, then adaptability is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidloss of time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors user posture through the camera and uses AI model inference to detect posture changes. When a change is detected, the controller automatically adjusts the display unit posture accordingly, creating a closed-loop feedback system that adapts to user needs in real-time without requiring manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A display device including a display unit having a display panel and a camera; a posture adjustment driving unit configured to adjust a posture of the display unit; and a controller configured to control the camera to capture a first image of a viewer viewing the display unit, calculate a first viewer posture inferred by an artificial intelligence model from the first image captured by the camera, control the posture adjustment driving unit to adjust the posture of the display unit to correspond to a feature point of the viewer based on the calculated first viewer posture, and control the posture adjustment driving unit to adjust the posture of the display unit to have a height fluctuation of a sinusoidal curve trajectory continuous within a vertical top-bottom movement range of the display unit based on the calculated first viewer posture.
