Digital Display Network for Rapid Group Message Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital information and social platforms fail to leverage group settings effectively, and traditional displays like posters are costly and inefficient for updating messages in public spaces.
Innovation Solution
An information sharing system with a display device apparatus and network computing system that allows for easy setup and quick updates, enabling media sharing in group settings through a system of accounts and web-apps, and includes features like GPS tracking, power systems, and communication subsystems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If traditional posters are used for message display, then message dissemination is achieved, but updating costs and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical posters with digital copies displayed on electronic devices. Messages are stored as digital data that can be replicated and distributed instantly across multiple devices without requiring physical reproduction, thereby eliminating printing costs and reducing update time to mere seconds or minutes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical system of physical poster distribution (printing, transporting, installing) with an electronic information system. Messages are transmitted digitally through communication networks to display devices, replacing the entire mechanical update process with automated electronic delivery.
2Productivity
If digital information platforms are used, then message update speed improves, but group setting utilization is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the display device to serve multiple functions: it acts as both a personal information display and a group communication node. The device can display personalized messages for individual users while simultaneously participating in group broadcasts and community information sharing, thereby adapting to both individual and group settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where group members can interact with displayed messages and provide responses that are collected and analyzed. This enables the system to adapt content based on group engagement metrics, making the platform versatile for different group dynamics and communication needs.
3Area of stationary object
If multiple display devices are deployed, then message reach increases, but system complexity and management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a central server as an intermediary that manages all display devices. The server acts as a hub that receives messages, processes them, and distributes them to appropriate devices. This centralized mediation simplifies management by providing a single point of control, reducing the complexity that would otherwise arise from managing multiple devices individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the system into distinct functional components: message creation interfaces, central processing server, communication network, and display devices. Each component has a specific responsibility, allowing independent development, testing, and maintenance. This modular segmentation reduces overall system complexity by breaking down the management task into manageable segments.
Data Source
AI summary
An information sharing system with a display screen and a network computing system is disclosed. The display screen may be capable of either being manually moved by a person or move automatically under its own power. The apparatus also includes a power system, a communication subsystem, a memory and a computing device. The communication subsystem communicates with the computing device, the network computing system, and the memory. The network computing system has an end-user display screen. The network computing system is configured to receive media and media secondary information, associate the media and media secondary information to a unique identifier, and show the media and the unique identifier on the display screen. The networking computing system is further configured to receive the unique identifier and an end-user account, and then show the media secondary information on the end-user display screen.
