Solution Overview

Problem

Videotelephony lacks the emotional richness of face-to-face communication due to environmental restrictions, leading to a sense of detachment during interactions.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus and method that provide feedback based on user gestures and spoken voices, using a server to determine correlations and output corresponding visual and sound effects, enhancing emotional communication by synchronizing user and remote party's gestures and voices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If videotelephony is performed through screen viewing, then communication between distant parties is enabled, but emotional richness and personal connection are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication capabilityVSAvoidemotional information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces feedback mechanisms that detect user gestures and voices, then provide appropriate responses or transmit these to remote parties. This creates a loop that enriches the interaction beyond simple video transmission, adding layers of emotional and contextual information that were previously lost in screen-based communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediaries such as gesture recognition systems, voice analysis systems, and feedback generation systems that mediate between the user and the remote party. These intermediaries capture subtle emotional cues through gestures and voices, process them, and transmit the emotional content to enhance the remote communication experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If traditional videotelephony is used, then remote communication is achieved, but the experience lacks personal engagement and emotional connection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidemotional engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically detecting gestures and voices, analyzing their emotional content, and generating appropriate feedback without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by capturing, processing, and transmitting emotional cues automatically, freeing users from complex operations while enhancing emotional engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key parameters of the communication system by introducing gesture recognition, voice analysis, and feedback generation capabilities. These parameter changes transform the communication experience from static video transmission to dynamic, emotionally-rich interaction, making remote communication as engaging as face-to-face interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A display apparatus and method are provided. The display apparatus includes a videotelephony performer that is configured to perform a videotelephony with another display apparatus; and a controller configured to control a corresponding feedback that is output when gestures and speech of a user and the other party of the videotelephony have a preset correlation during a process in which the videotelephony is performed.
