Solution Overview

Problem

Content presentation systems in public locations often struggle to provide tailored content to diverse audiences due to size and location constraints, resulting in generic content that may not be readable or relatable to all users, particularly those who do not speak the dominant language or are visually impaired.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic content presentation system that receives data from mobile devices in proximity, selects and formats content based on user preferences such as language and accessibility needs, allowing for personalized content presentation on display devices and audio systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If generic content is displayed to accommodate diverse audiences in public locations, then the content can be accessed by most users, but the content becomes difficult to read for users who do not speak the language or are visually impaired

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent adaptabilityVSAvoidreadability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The content presentation system dynamically adjusts content characteristics based on real-time detection of user preferences and device capabilities. The system transitions from static generic content to dynamic personalized content that automatically adapts language, font size, and other formatting parameters to match user needs, resolving the contradiction between broad accessibility and specific readability requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes content parameters such as language, font size, and formatting based on detected user preferences and device characteristics. By modifying these parameters dynamically, the system maintains versatility across different user groups while ensuring optimal readability for each individual user's needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If content is tailored to specific user preferences, then readability and accessibility improve, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereadabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects user preferences and device characteristics without requiring manual configuration or complex user input. By implementing self-service mechanisms that autonomously gather and process user information, the system achieves personalized content delivery while minimizing the operational complexity burden on users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary layer that automatically processes user preferences and device data to generate appropriate content formatting. This intermediary mechanism simplifies the interaction between diverse user needs and content delivery, reducing the apparent system complexity while maintaining high customization capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the content presentation system collects and processes user data from mobile devices, then content personalization improves, but data privacy concerns increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent personalizationVSAvoiddata privacy risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary preferences and characteristics from user data without collecting or storing sensitive personal information. By taking out only the essential data needed for content personalization and discarding or anonymizing the rest, the system achieves effective personalization while minimizing data privacy risks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different data handling strategies to different aspects of user information. Sensitive data is handled with strict privacy protections while non-sensitive preference data is used for personalization. This localized approach to data quality management enables personalization functionality while containing privacy risks to specific, manageable areas

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
