Solution Overview
Problem
Display tables in retail settings lack interactive capabilities to effectively showcase electronic devices, limiting consumer engagement and product feature demonstration.
Innovation Solution
A display table system that includes a display screen, a processor, and electronic devices with touch screens, where inputs on the touch screens trigger synchronized image changes on both the touch screens and display screens, creating a seamless graphical continuation, and can also provide tactile and audial outputs based on input characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a display table is used to present electronic devices in a retail setting, then product visibility is improved, but consumer interaction capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops) with different touch screen capabilities into a single display table system. The table integrates a main display screen with individual device touch screens, merging their functionalities to create a unified interactive experience that maintains product visibility while enabling consumer interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The display table is designed to accommodate multiple types of electronic devices simultaneously, each with different touch screen capabilities (capacitive, resistive, pressure-sensitive). The system universally supports various input methods including touch, stylus, and keyboard, making the display table adaptable to different consumer interaction preferences and device types.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple electronic devices with different touch screen capabilities are integrated into a display table, then consumer interaction options are improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a processor as an intermediary component that receives input signals from various touch screens and generates corresponding output signals to the display table screen. This mediator abstracts the complexity of handling different touch screen types (capacitive, resistive, pressure-sensitive) and unified the control logic, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts display parameters (image selection, zoom level, pan position) based on the type of device and touch screen capability detected. By changing display parameters according to device characteristics, the system adapts to different interaction capabilities without requiring separate hardware configurations for each device type.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the display table screen shows an image corresponding to the touch screen image, then visual continuity is improved, but information loss deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional touch screen display to a three-dimensional display table environment by implementing zoom and pan capabilities. When a consumer interacts with a device on the display table, the system zooms into specific product feature areas and pans across different views, adding spatial dimensions to the display experience while maintaining visual continuity between the touch screen and display table screen.

AI summary
A system for presenting an electronic device on a display table is disclosed. The system includes a table, a processor, an electronic device, and a cable. The table includes a display screen, and the display screen is operably connected to the processor. The electronic device is disposed on the table and includes a touch screen. The cable connects the electronic device to the processor. The touch screen of the electronic device is configured to display an image that changes in response to an input to the touch screen. The display screen of the table is configured to display an image that changes in response to the input to the touch screen of the electronic device. A change in the display screen image comprises a graphical continuation of a change in the touch screen image.
