Display Device Proximity-Based Content Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices do not consider a user's location when providing content, leading to inappropriate content delivery, as they typically do not differentiate between regions based on distance from the device.
Innovation Solution
A display device equipped with sensors to detect user proximity and a processor that classifies regions based on distance, providing different content types (background screens, music, weather, news, or broadcast programs) according to the user's location and history information, allowing for personalized content delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display device provides content without considering user location, then the device operation is simple, but the content delivery becomes inappropriate and fails to meet user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The space around the display device is segmented into multiple regions (first region, second region, third region) based on distance from the device. Each region corresponds to different user activities and content preferences. This segmentation enables the device to deliver appropriate content based on which region the user is in, without requiring complex user input or configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device automatically detects user location through sensors and selects content based on pre-stored history information associated with different regions. The system serves itself by autonomously determining which content to provide without requiring user commands or manual configuration, thereby adapting to user needs while maintaining simple operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display device continuously plays music or provides broadcast programs regardless of user location, then the content provision is consistent, but it fails to account for different user life patterns and locations
Solution Approach 1:
The display device pre-stores history information including content preferences and user behavior patterns for each region before the user actually needs content. When the user enters a specific region, the device can immediately retrieve and provide appropriate content without delay, as all necessary information has been prepared in advance during periods when the user was in that region.
3Measurement precision
If the display device uses sensors to detect user distance and provide location-based content, then content relevance improves, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical or manual location detection systems with sensors that automatically measure user distance from the display device. These sensors electronically detect the user's position and trigger appropriate content delivery based on pre-defined regional thresholds, achieving precise location-based content provision without mechanical complexity.

AI summary
A display device is disclosed. According to the present invention, a display device comprises: a sensor; a display; a storage unit in which history information on content provided by the display device is stored; and a processor for acquiring, through the sensor, information on the distance between a user and the display device if a preset event occurs, displaying a background screen in the display if the user is identified, on the basis of the acquired information, as existing in a first region among a plurality of regions classified according to the distance from the display device, providing content on the basis of first history information if the user is identified, on the basis of the acquired information, as existing in a second region among the plurality of regions, and providing content on the basis of second history information if the user is identified, on the basis of the acquired information, as existing in a third region among the plurality of regions, wherein the first history information can include information on content provided by the display device during the existence of the user in the second region, and the second history information can include information on content provided by the display device during the existence of the user in the third region. The display device can provide content by using an artificial intelligence (AI) model having been taught according to at least one of machine learning, neural network and deep learning algorithms, in the providing the content.
