Display Apparatus with Posture Stress Area Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often maintain unhealthy postures for extended periods while viewing content on display devices, such as TVs, without realizing it, which can lead to health issues due to prolonged static positions.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus equipped with a camera to capture the user's figure, a processor to determine their posture and identify stress areas, and a display to show a stress-related image marking these areas, allowing users to recognize and correct their posture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a user views content images for a long time, then the user can consume more content, but the user's posture deteriorates and health is negatively affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously captures images of the user's posture via camera, analyzes the posture data, and provides real-time feedback by displaying stress area markings on the user's body. This feedback loop enables the user to adjust their posture while continuing to view content, thus maintaining both productivity and health.
Solution Approach 2:
The processor acts as an intermediary between the camera (detection device) and the display (output device). It processes the captured images, identifies stress areas based on posture analysis, and generates visual feedback by marking these areas on the display, thereby mediating the interaction between user and system.
2Ease of operation
If a user concentrates on viewing an image, then the user can better engage with the content, but the user becomes unaware of their own posture
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides passive feedback by overlaying stress area markings on the display during content viewing. This allows the user to maintain concentration on content while simultaneously receiving posture information without needing to actively monitor or switch attention between content and posture monitoring.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the content display with the posture feedback display. The stress area markings are superimposed on the same display screen that shows the content, combining two functions (content viewing and posture monitoring) into a single unified interface that does not require the user to switch between different devices or interfaces.
3Reliability
If the stress-related image is displayed continuously, then the user receives constant posture feedback, but the user interface becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The posture feedback is merged with the content display by overlaying stress area markings directly on the screen showing content. This integration means the feedback mechanism uses the existing display infrastructure rather than requiring separate monitoring screens or complex additional interfaces, thus maintaining simplicity while providing continuous feedback.

AI summary
A display apparatus including a camera configured to capture a user's figure, a storage configured to store information about stress areas on a body in accordance with corresponding postures of a user, a processor configured to determine a user's posture from an image captured by the camera, determine a position of one or more stress areas on a body corresponding to the determined posture based on the stored information about the one or more stress areas on the body, and process a stress-related image, in which the determined one or more stress areas are marked on an image corresponding to a user's figure, and a display configured to display the stress-related image.
