Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display technologies lack efficient methods for transferring images between mobile information terminals and display surfaces in public spaces, particularly for printing and scanning operations, which are cumbersome and require manual intervention.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus comprising a guide display, an operation stand, a projector, an operation detector, a printer, and imagers that allows for automatic image transfer between mobile information terminals and the display surface through a controlled workflow, enabling seamless print and scan operations by projecting images onto the operation stand and detecting user interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual printing and scanning operations are used in public spaces, then basic functionality is achieved, but operational efficiency and user experience deteriorate due to cumbersome procedures and manual intervention requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service operation where the display apparatus automatically detects mobile terminals approaching the operation stand and initiates image transfer workflows without requiring manual intervention. The operation detector autonomously identifies terminal positions and triggers appropriate print or scan operations based on detected motion patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by preparing the image transfer workflow in advance. When a mobile terminal is detected approaching the operation stand, the system pre-configures the transfer parameters and readiness state, enabling immediate execution of print or scan operations once the terminal is in position, thereby eliminating setup delays.
2Productivity
If automatic image transfer is implemented, then operational efficiency improves, but device complexity increases due to multiple sensors and coordinated control systems
Solution Approach 1:
The operation stand serves multiple functions: it acts as a physical support structure, a detection zone for the operation detector, a projection surface for the projector, and a communication interface with mobile terminals. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each operation type.
Solution Approach 2:
The projector serves as an intermediary element that facilitates communication between the display apparatus and mobile terminals. By projecting visual instructions and feedback onto the operation stand, the system creates an intuitive interaction interface without requiring direct physical contact or complex wireless communication protocols.
3Loss of time
If manual intervention is required for image transfer, then system simplicity is maintained, but loss of time increases due to step-by-step manual operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback loops where the operation detector continuously monitors the operation stand for mobile terminal presence, the projector provides visual feedback about system state and instructions, and the display apparatus adjusts its operation based on detected terminal actions. This automated feedback mechanism eliminates manual checking and decision-making steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual mechanical operations with automated detection and projection mechanisms. Instead of requiring users to physically connect devices or manually initiate transfers, the operation detector automatically identifies terminals and the projector guides the transfer process, substituting mechanical user actions with automated sensor-based detection and optical feedback.

AI summary
A display apparatus includes: a display surface that displays information; and a display unit that, in response to a motion to move or place a mobile information terminal closer to or on the display surface, displays a first operation in which a first image is moved from the mobile information terminal to the display surface and displayed on the display surface, or a second operation in which a second image displayed on the display surface is moved from the display surface to the mobile information terminal.
