Dynamic Display Orientation for Multi-User Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Smart devices lack the ability to dynamically adjust display orientation based on user context and location in multi-user environments, leading to suboptimal viewing experiences for users whose interests may not align with the presented content.
Innovation Solution
A processor-controlled system that identifies user context and location, using IoT connectivity, digital profiles, and sensors to adjust the display orientation radially along a horizontal plane, ensuring the content-bearing face of the display faces the user with the most relevant interest, even if they are not optimally positioned.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display presents content observable by multiple users, then the content is accessible to all users in the area, but the user for whom the content is relevant may not be optimally positioned to view it
Solution Approach 1:
The display orientation is made dynamic by continuously adjusting its angular position based on real-time user location detection and context analysis. The system transitions from a static display orientation to a dynamic one that automatically tracks and faces the most relevant user, resolving the contradiction between universal accessibility and optimized viewing for the target user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback loops by detecting user locations, analyzing context relevance, and using this information to adjust display orientation. This closed-loop control ensures the display continuously presents content to the most appropriate user while maintaining accessibility to all users in the area.
2Ease of operation
If the display orientation is adjusted to face a specific user, then the viewing experience for that user is optimized, but the display can no longer be optimally viewed by multiple users simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
Rather than fixing the display to a single orientation, the system dynamically adjusts the display orientation based on which user is most relevant to the current content. This allows the display to serve multiple users sequentially by adapting its orientation to the current primary user, maintaining both optimization and multi-user accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by optimizing the display orientation for the specific user who is most relevant to the current content context, while still allowing other users to access the content. The optimization is applied locally to the target user's position rather than uniformly to all users.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display presents content relevant to one user in a multi-user environment, then that user receives personalized content, but other users may be distracted by content not relevant to them
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and focuses the content presentation on the most relevant user by orienting the display toward that user. This extraction principle separates the content delivery from equal distribution to all users, directing it specifically to the user for whom it is most relevant while reducing exposure to others.
Solution Approach 2:
Content personalization is applied locally to the target user through directional display orientation. The system identifies which user is most relevant to the current content and directs the display toward that user, providing personalized content delivery without necessarily distracting other users who are less relevant to the current context.

AI summary
In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor, a display accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to identify a context associated with a user, identify a location of the user, and adjust the orientation of the display to direct the display toward the location of the user based on the context associated with the user and the location of the user.
