Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display screen mounting systems are difficult and time-consuming, especially when transitioning between configurations, causing user frustration due to the need for different hardware.
Innovation Solution
A display screen system with two stand elements and connection elements that can be configured in either a tabletop or wall mount configuration, using recesses and locking projections to securely attach to the display screen, allowing for easy transition between setups without requiring tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different hardware is used for different mounting configurations, then the display screen can be mounted in various configurations, but the mounting process becomes difficult and time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The stand elements are designed with universal functionality to work in both tabletop and wall mount configurations. The connection elements include features that allow them to attach to different surfaces (desktops and walls) using the same hardware components, eliminating the need for configuration-specific parts.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand elements incorporate moveable locking projections that can transition between locked and unlocked states, enabling easy reconfiguration between different mounting modes. The locking mechanism allows users to quickly switch configurations without tools by simply moving the locking projections.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different hardware is used for different mounting configurations, then the display screen can be mounted in various configurations, but multiple hardware sets increase device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The connection elements are designed as universal components that can interface with both tabletop surfaces and wall mounts. The same connection elements with moveable locking projections serve both mounting configurations, reducing the total number of hardware pieces needed while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the functionality of multiple configuration-specific hardware into a single unified stand element design. The moveable locking projections integrate both the attachment and locking functions into one component, eliminating the need for separate hardware sets for different configurations.
3Reliability
If traditional mounting systems are used, then the display screen can be securely mounted, but transitioning between configurations requires different hardware and tools
Solution Approach 1:
The moveable locking projections enable dynamic reconfiguration between mounting modes. Users can transition from tabletop to wall mount configuration by simply moving the locking projections to different positions, eliminating the time-consuming process of removing and reinstalling different hardware components.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand elements are pre-designed with integrated locking mechanisms that are ready for quick engagement. The moveable locking projections are positioned and structured to allow immediate locking into place without requiring additional tools or preparation steps, enabling fast reconfiguration while maintaining secure mounting.

AI summary
Various embodiments provide a display screen system that includes a display screen, a first stand element, and a second stand element. The display screen can include a front display surface, a back surface, and a bottom surface. The first and second stand elements can each include a connection element disposed between a first end and a second end. The display screen stand system can be configured to be assembled in a table top configuration or a wall mount configuration. In the table top configuration, the first stand element and the second stand element are attached to the bottom of the display screen. In the wall mount configuration, the first stand element and the second stand element are configured to be coupled to the back of the display screen.
