Display Apparatus Biometric Content Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when trying to view content on one display apparatus and then switch it to another external apparatus, as they need to manually control input interfaces for content transfer, lacking a seamless synchronization mechanism.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus equipped with a data processor, user input interface, and communication interface that processes content data and identifies user interest based on biometric information, such as face position and direction, to automatically synchronize and transmit content between connected display devices, ensuring that the content is displayed on the device with the highest user interest.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual control of input interfaces is required to transfer content between display devices, then device control precision is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects user presence through biometric sensors (camera, microphone) and autonomously determines which display device the user is interested in, eliminating the need for manual input. The controller automatically transfers content based on detected user interest, allowing the system to serve itself without user intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical control (button pressing, interface navigation) with automated biometric detection systems. Cameras and microphones capture user data, and algorithms analyze face position, direction, and voice to determine user interest, substituting physical user actions with automated sensing and processing.
2Ease of operation
If automated content synchronization is implemented across multiple display devices, then user convenience is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller is designed to perform multiple functions: it manages local display output, communicates with external display devices, processes biometric data from various sensors (camera, microphone), and autonomously makes content transfer decisions. This multi-functional design consolidates complexity into a single coordinating component rather than requiring separate systems for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller acts as an intermediary between the content source, biometric sensors, and multiple display devices. It receives content data, processes user interest information from sensors, and automatically routes content to the appropriate display device, simplifying the overall system architecture by centralizing control logic.
3Measurement precision
If biometric information processing is added to identify user interest, then content delivery accuracy is improved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The biometric information processing is divided into separate functional modules: a camera captures face position and direction, a microphone captures voice data, and the controller processes these segmented data streams independently before integrating them to determine overall user interest. This segmentation reduces processing complexity by handling each biometric modality separately.
Data Source
AI summary
A display apparatus includes: a display; a data processor configured to process content data to be displayed as a content image on the display; a user input interface configured to receive biometric information about a user; a communication interface configured to communicate with an external apparatus; and a controller configured to identify the user based on the biometric information received through the user input interface, and control, if it is determined that the identified user is also a user of an external apparatus, the content data to be displayed as the content image on one of the display apparatus and the external apparatus in which a user interest is relatively high.
