Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional liquid dispensers fail to engage consumers by providing only simple information about beverages, lacking details on ingredients, which reduces consumer interest and willingness to purchase.

Innovation Solution

A liquid dispenser with immersive motion graphics that includes a display portion showing interactive motion graphics when liquid is injected, an electrical control system for mixing and dispensing liquids, and a projection feature to enhance visual experience, along with a scanning system for user and liquid information verification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If simple information display is used in liquid dispensers, then the device complexity is reduced, but consumer interest and engagement are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay system complexityVSAvoidconsumer engagement capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static information display to dynamic motion graphics that move, change, and interact with the liquid flow. The display shows animated illustrations of beverage ingredients, preparation processes, and health information that dynamically respond to the dispensing action, making the information engaging and immersive rather than static and boring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a visual dimension to information display by using motion graphics and animated illustrations instead of text or simple icons. The display portion projects dynamic visual content that occupies three-dimensional space around the liquid flow, creating an immersive experience that engages consumers on multiple sensory levels simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If detailed beverage ingredient information is provided, then consumer health awareness is improved, but the display system becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeverage ingredient informationVSAvoidinformation display complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple types of information display functions into a single integrated motion graphic system. The display portion combines ingredient illustrations, preparation process animations, health information, and nutritional data into one cohesive visual presentation that unfolds dynamically during the dispensing process, eliminating the need for separate display components for each information type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent ensures continuous information delivery by maintaining the motion graphic display throughout the entire dispensing process. The visual information flows continuously alongside the liquid flow, providing uninterrupted engagement and information delivery from the moment the pump activates until the beverage is dispensed, maximizing information absorption without requiring additional interactive components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Adaptability or versatility

If interactive motion graphics are displayed during liquid dispensing, then consumer interest is increased, but the device requires more sophisticated control systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsumer engagement capabilityVSAvoidelectrical control system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by synchronizing the motion graphic display with the actual liquid dispensing process. The control system detects when the pump activates and automatically triggers the corresponding motion graphic sequence, creating a coordinated feedback loop where the visual display responds to and enhances the physical dispensing action, improving engagement without requiring complex user interaction systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically coordinating the display and dispensing functions without requiring additional user input. The control system autonomously synchronizes the motion graphics with the pump operation, managing the complex coordination between visual and physical components through pre-programmed sequences that activate based on the dispensing state, reducing the need for sophisticated user interface controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A liquid dispenser having immersive motion graphics is provided and includes a base portion, a display portion, a liquid supply portion and an electrical control portion, where the display portion is disposed in an accommodating space formed by the base portion, such that when the electrical control portion controls the liquid supply portion to inject a liquid into a target object located in the accommodating space, the electrical control portion simultaneously controls the display portion to display a motion graphic in the accommodating space to generate an interaction between the motion graphic and the liquid. Therefore, consumers can be informed of rich beverage information and be provided with an immersive experience via the display of the motion graphic.
