Solution Overview

Problem

The instability of a display screen's posture due to changes in weight caused by connected devices, such as flash drives or fans, results in an unstable fixing mechanism, affecting user experience.

Innovation Solution

A control method and apparatus that adjust the working parameters of a supporting assembly based on detected positional relationships and weight changes to maintain a normal working state, allowing the display screen to be supported in different postures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen is fixed through a lifting platform to adapt to different height requirements, then the display screen can be positioned at different heights, but the fixing becomes unstable when external devices are connected, causing the display screen to cannot be fixed in a specific posture

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen positioning capabilityVSAvoidfixing stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The lifting platform is transformed from a static structure to a dynamic one by equipping it with a weight sensor and a motor-driven adjusting mechanism. The platform can automatically adjust its lifting force based on real-time weight detection, enabling it to adapt to different weight conditions caused by connected external devices while maintaining stable positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

A weight sensor is installed on the lifting platform to detect the weight of the display screen and connected external devices in real time. The detected weight information is fed back to the control system, which then adjusts the lifting force accordingly, forming a closed-loop control system that maintains positioning stability under varying weight conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If external devices such as flash drives, fans, or lighting lamps are connected to the display screen, then the functionality and versatility of the system is improved, but the weight of the display screen changes, causing the lifting platform to become unstable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice connectivityVSAvoiddisplay screen posture stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The lifting platform incorporates a motor-driven adjusting mechanism that can dynamically change the lifting force based on detected weight variations. When external devices are connected and change the total weight, the system automatically adjusts the lifting force to maintain the display screen at the desired position, ensuring posture stability despite weight changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the lifting force parameter in response to weight changes caused by connected external devices. The weight sensor detects the total weight, and the control system adjusts the lifting force parameter accordingly, allowing the platform to maintain stable positioning regardless of whether external devices are connected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A control method includes, in response to detecting that an external device is in a target positional relationship with an electronic device, adjusting a working parameter of a supporting assembly of the electronic device, so that the supporting assembly is in a normal working state. In the normal working state, the supporting assembly is able to support the electronic device in different postures.
