Display Terminal Position Gating for Intent-Aligned Wireless Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies fail to support wireless operation of display apparatuses using communication terminals, leading to unintended operations due to distant or off-angle remote controller usage, which goes against user intent.
Innovation Solution
A terminal operation management apparatus and method that recognizes the position of communication terminals relative to display apparatuses, enabling operation only when within a predetermined area and maintaining permission until a user-defined time or release, and allowing multiple terminals with functionality-based operation control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If operation is enabled based on cable connection state, then display-device accessibility is ensured, but wireless operation capability is not supported
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical cable connection system with a wireless communication system. The display apparatus and terminal device establish communication through wireless signals, eliminating the need for physical cable connections while maintaining operational control. This substitution enables wireless operation capability without significantly increasing system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If operation is enabled based on nearest screen selection, then operation convenience is improved, but unintended operation by distant controllers is not prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the display apparatus actively detects the position of the terminal device and provides feedback information about which terminal should operate which display. The system uses position detection data to determine the appropriate terminal-display pairing, ensuring that only the intended terminal can operate the display apparatus. This feedback loop prevents unintended operation while maintaining ease of use.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the operational relationship dynamic by continuously monitoring the position of terminal devices and adjusting the operational permissions accordingly. When a terminal device moves to a different position relative to the display apparatus, the system dynamically updates which terminal is authorized to operate the display. This dynamic adjustment ensures that operation rights are always assigned to the most appropriate terminal based on current spatial relationships.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple terminals are allowed to operate the display, then operation flexibility is improved, but operation control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the operational control by assigning different display apparatuses to different terminal devices based on their positions. Each terminal device is associated with a specific display apparatus that it can operate, creating segmented control zones. This segmentation allows multiple terminals to operate simultaneously without interference, as each terminal manages its designated display independently. The system divides the overall control into manageable segments, reducing the complexity of managing multiple terminals.

AI summary
A terminal operation management apparatus includes: a communication terminal position recognition section that recognizes a position of a communication terminal relative to a display apparatus, the communication terminal existing around the display apparatus; and a terminal operation permission determination section that enables operation of the display apparatus through the communication terminal when the position of the communication terminal relative to the display apparatus is a predetermined position.
