Solution Overview

Problem

Current display devices lack the ability to automatically adjust to an optimal viewing position for users, leading to potential visual fatigue and health issues due to inappropriate sitting posture and display distance.

Innovation Solution

A display device equipped with a sensor, controller, and execution member that collects user state data in real-time, analyzes it to determine the user's posture and distance from the display, and adjusts the display's position accordingly to ensure an optimal viewing range.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display device is manually rotated forwardly and backwardly to adapt to user sitting posture, then the adaptability to different postures is improved, but the device complexity increases and the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user sitting postureVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display device automatically detects user posture through sensors (camera, accelerometer, gyroscope) and adjusts its position without manual intervention. The system captures images or motion data, analyzes user posture, and autonomously rotates the display panel to the optimal angle, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust the device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automated control system. Sensors detect user posture, a controller processes the data, and an actuator automatically rotates the display panel, substituting the mechanical manual rotation system with an integrated sensor-controller-actuator system that operates autonomously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the display device is manually adjusted to adapt to user posture, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity and loss of time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user sitting postureVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display device integrates multiple functions into a single system: sensors (camera, accelerometer, gyroscope) for posture detection, a controller for data processing, and an actuator for automatic adjustment. This multi-functional integration achieves adaptability while managing complexity through unified design rather than separate independent systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs automatic posture detection and adjustment without requiring external intervention or complex manual procedures. The integrated sensors and controllers work together to autonomously adapt the display to user posture, reducing the operational complexity despite the enhanced adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the user holds a posture for a long time to adapt to the display device, then the adaptability is improved, but the loss of time and health impact worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to display deviceVSAvoidloss of time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of requiring the user to adapt to the fixed display device by holding a specific posture for a long time, the system inverts the adaptation process: the display device automatically adapts to the user's current posture through automatic detection and adjustment, eliminating the need for prolonged user adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The display device autonomously detects user posture through sensors and automatically adjusts its position, eliminating the need for users to spend time adapting to a fixed display position. The system performs the adaptation function itself, significantly reducing the time users need to spend in adjusted postures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Ease of operation

If the distance between the display device and user is not optimized, then the ease of operation is improved (fixed position), but the object-affected harmful factors increase (visual fatigue and health issues)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixed position stabilityVSAvoidvisual fatigue and health issues
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The display device transitions from a static fixed position to a dynamic adjustable position. Sensors continuously monitor user posture and distance, and the system automatically adjusts the display angle and position in real-time to maintain optimal viewing conditions, combining the stability of fixed positioning with the adaptability of dynamic adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop where sensors continuously detect user posture and distance, the controller analyzes this data, and the actuator adjusts the display position accordingly. This closed-loop feedback system maintains optimal viewing conditions dynamically, preventing visual fatigue and health issues while preserving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
