Solution Overview

Problem

Existing portable display devices lack the ability to adaptively provide optimal information to users based on their location and user information, leading to inconvenience in use.

Innovation Solution

A display device equipped with a sensor module to obtain location and user information, a controller to analyze usability based on this information, and a method to change the user interface accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If display devices are made portable and movable, then mobility and flexibility are improved, but the ability to adaptively provide optimal information based on location and user context deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptive information provisionVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-stores usability analysis information in the memory module corresponding to different spaces and user profiles before actual use. When the display device is moved to a new location, the controller quickly retrieves pre-analyzed usability data based on location information from the sensor module, avoiding real-time analysis delays and enabling immediate adaptive interface adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors location information through the sensor module and compares it with stored usability analysis information. Based on this feedback loop, the controller automatically adjusts the user interface to match the detected space characteristics and user profile, ensuring the display device adapts dynamically to its environment and user context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If the user interface is changed based on space information and user detection, then information relevance is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation relevanceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The controller module serves multiple functions: it detects user presence, analyzes location data, retrieves usability information from memory, and adjusts the user interface. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single multi-functional controller, the system reduces overall device complexity while maintaining the capability to provide highly relevant information based on space and user context.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system stores usability analysis information in memory that corresponds to different spaces and user profiles. Instead of performing complex real-time analysis, the controller retrieves pre-analyzed usability data that mirrors the expected optimal interface configuration for each context, significantly reducing computational complexity while maintaining information relevance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
