Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Multiscreen electronic devices with transparent or folding screens face challenges in optimizing screen usage and energy consumption, as users need to select the appropriate screen for displaying content while ensuring it is oriented correctly for the user's view.
Innovation Solution
A display method and electronic device that determine a target display region from multiple regions by acquiring selection information, such as image detection and spatial position data, to adjust the display angle or direction of content, allowing for efficient energy management by selecting the most used screen and reducing power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display regions are activated simultaneously, then display versatility is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the number of active display regions based on real-time detection of user presence and device orientation. The display unit transitions between different operational states (single-screen mode, dual-screen mode, standby mode) to optimize energy consumption while maintaining display versatility when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device automatically determines the target display region by detecting user presence through imaging sensors and analyzing device spatial orientation, without requiring manual user input. The system self-adjusts which display region is active based on detected conditions, reducing energy consumption while maintaining adaptability.
2Ease of operation
If the display unit automatically determines the target display region, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging sensor serves multiple functions: it detects user presence for target display region determination, captures images for further analysis, and can potentially be used for other sensing purposes. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated sensors, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual mechanical selection of display regions with an automated optical detection system. The imaging sensor optically detects user presence and position, automatically determining the target display region without requiring physical user interaction, thus improving ease of operation.
3Measurement precision
If the display region selection is based on image detection and spatial position, then measurement precision is improved, but difficulty of detecting and measuring increases
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging sensor acts as an intermediary that converts complex spatial and visual information into detectable signal data. It mediates between the physical environment (user presence, device orientation) and the processing unit, enabling precise measurement of target display region determination while simplifying the detection process through optical transduction.
