Deformable Display Screen Bending Interaction Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices with physical and on-screen buttons are not intuitive for users, requiring learning and interrupting user actions, which degrades the user experience.
Innovation Solution
A deformable display screen that allows users to dynamically adjust content by bending the screen, with a sensor module detecting the action type and a controller changing the display mode based on the content type, enabling intuitive interaction through various bending actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If physical and on-screen buttons are used for user interaction, then the device structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the ease of operation deteriorates as users need to learn button functions and actions are interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen itself serves as the interaction interface by detecting user bending actions and automatically triggering content mode changes without requiring separate buttons or complex controls. The system analyzes the bending action and content type to autonomously determine the appropriate display mode change.
Solution Approach 2:
The deformable display screen performs multiple functions: it displays content, detects user interaction through bending actions, determines action types, and controls display mode changes. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate interaction hardware.
2Productivity
If physical and on-screen buttons are used for user interaction, then the device structure is simple, but user experience deteriorates due to interruptions from button presses
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables continuous user interaction by detecting bending actions in real-time without requiring users to pause for button presses. The display mode changes automatically in response to continuous bending actions, maintaining the flow of user engagement.
3Ease of operation
If a deformable display screen with sensor module and controller is implemented, then ease of operation improves through intuitive bending interaction, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display function, sensor detection function, and control function into a single integrated deformable display screen system. The sensor module is embedded with the display, and the controller processes both sensor input and content type information to generate coordinated display mode changes.

AI summary
A display device includes a display screen for displaying content items to a user. The display screen is deformable and can display a content item in various display modes. Deformation of the display screen caused by a deforming action of the user, e.g., bending the display screen along a rigid axis, changes the display mode of the content item displayed on the display screen. A sensor module in the display device detects the deforming action and determines the action type of the deforming action. A controller in the display device analyzes the content type of the content item, e.g., video, map or e-book. Based on the action type of the deforming action and the content type of the content item, the controller generates a command to change the display mode. The display screen displays the content item in a different display mode after executing the command.
