Solution Overview

Problem

Current information processing systems lack the ability to effectively detect and interact with users and their terminal devices in a dynamic environment, failing to provide personalized and adaptive information display and communication.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus equipped with a detection unit for identifying terminal devices and users, a display control unit for dynamic image display, and a processing unit for user interaction, utilizing cameras, human detection sensors, and projection devices to create a user-centric interface that adapts to user movement and emotional states.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the system displays information for multiple terminal devices simultaneously, then the information coverage is improved, but the display complexity and user confusion increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation coverageVSAvoiddisplay complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is divided into multiple independent display regions, with each region dedicated to a specific terminal device. This segmentation allows multiple pieces of information to be displayed simultaneously without overlapping or confusion, as each terminal's information is confined to its own designated area on the screen.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the display screen are assigned different functions and information types based on the terminal device being served. Each display region has customized content and layout optimized for its specific terminal, providing localized quality rather than a uniform display approach.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If the system detects and responds to user movement in real-time, then the user interaction quality is improved, but the detection and processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser interaction qualityVSAvoiddetection and processing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical or manual detection systems with optical sensing technology. Image sensors capture user movement visually, and computer vision algorithms automatically analyze the movement patterns, substituting what would otherwise require complex mechanical sensors and manual processing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects user presence, movement, and intent without requiring explicit user input or configuration. The image recognition system self-adjusts display content and interaction modes based on observed user behavior, making the system self-adaptive rather than requiring manual setup.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service
