Display Glare Reduction via Adaptive Color and Font Profiles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Pattern glare, also known as Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, is exacerbated by modern display technologies such as LCDs, which can decrease readability due to high contrast and brightness, particularly affecting individuals with reading disabilities, and current solutions do not effectively address this issue for electronic displays.
Innovation Solution
A device that adjusts font size, density, and color based on user input and ambient environment measurements to reduce pattern glare, using ICC profiles to normalize display characteristics across different environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If modern display technologies (LCD) are used to increase brightness and contrast, then display output capability is improved, but pattern glare is exacerbated and readability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting display characteristics including font size, font density, and color properties to reduce pattern glare. The system modifies these parameters based on user susceptibility and ambient lighting conditions, transforming the display output to eliminate harmful glare effects while maintaining readability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making display parameters adjustable and adaptive rather than fixed. The system dynamically modifies font size, density, and color based on user input and ambient environment measurements, allowing the display to adapt its characteristics to reduce pattern glare in real-time.
2Ease of operation
If font size is increased to reduce pattern glare, then readability is improved, but display space utilization decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses parameter changes by adjusting multiple display characteristics (font size, font density, color) in combination rather than relying solely on increasing font size. This multi-parameter approach improves readability while better preserving display space utilization compared to font size increase alone.
3Ease of operation
If display parameters are customized for individual users to reduce pattern glare, then readability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling users to perform self-assessment through ambient environment measurement and user input to determine their own susceptibility to pattern glare. The system automatically processes this information and configures appropriate display parameters without requiring complex manual adjustments or professional intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system measures ambient lighting conditions and receives user input about their reading experience, then uses this feedback to automatically adjust display parameters. This closed-loop approach simplifies the user interface while achieving personalized optimization.
