Dynamic Stunt Cards Using Mobile Device Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Physical stunt cards are cumbersome to distribute and manage, and they limit the number of patterns or logos that can be constructed, as different sets are required for different designs.
Innovation Solution
User devices, such as smartphones or tablets, are used to form a combined display where each device shows a portion of a pattern, allowing them to function as dynamic stunt cards, displaying different portions of various patterns or logos when viewed from specific angles, and can execute event instructions based on location and events, reducing the need for physical cards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If physical stunt cards are distributed to patrons, then patterns or logos can be displayed when viewed from a bird's-eye view, but the stunt cards are cumbersome to distribute and manage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical stunt cards with digital copies displayed on mobile device screens. Each mobile device functions as an electronic stunt card, displaying the appropriate portion of the pattern or logo. This eliminates the need for physical card distribution and management while maintaining the bird's-eye view display capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical system of physical card distribution with an electronic system. Mobile devices receive digital instructions wirelessly and display the required content on their screens, replacing the manual distribution and physical handling of stunt cards.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different sets of physical stunt cards are used, then different patterns or logos can be constructed, but the number of patterns or logos is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes each mobile device universal by enabling it to display any portion of any pattern or logo through software instructions. A single mobile device can be reprogrammed to display different content, eliminating the need for multiple specialized card sets and greatly increasing the number of possible patterns and logos.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic content delivery where the display content on each mobile device can be changed in real-time based on instructions received from a central system. This allows the same physical device to adapt to different patterns and logos dynamically, rather than being fixed to a single design.
3Ease of manufacture
If physical stunt cards are used, then patterns can be displayed, but costs associated with distributing and managing physical cards increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces expensive physical stunt cards with free or low-cost digital copies distributed through mobile devices. The same visual content can be replicated infinitely across numerous devices without additional material costs, significantly reducing distribution and management expenses.

AI summary
A server device may receive one or more event instruction schedules. Each of the one or more event instruction schedules may identify one or more events and corresponding instructions. The server may receive location information identifying a location of a user device; identify a particular schedule of the one or more event instruction schedules based on the location; identify an occurrence of an event of the one or more events identified by the particular schedule; identify a particular corresponding instruction for the event; and direct the user device to execute the corresponding instruction based on the occurrence of the of the one or more events. The server device may cause the user device to execute the corresponding instruction to function as a component in a combined display or in a combined sound outputting system having multiple user devices in addition to the user device.
