Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional paper-based electronic boards in office settings are cumbersome, resource-intensive, and inefficient for dynamic information display, lacking the ability to update content easily and conveniently.

Innovation Solution

An electronic board system comprising a display screen, data receiving circuit, control circuit, and communication circuit that receives unique data and background template data to generate and display content in a picture format, using wireless communication protocols like Bluetooth, WiFi, or NFC for seamless data transmission and dual-sided display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional paper-based boards are used for display, then the appearance is simple and easy to manufacture, but the ability to update content dynamically is lost and resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic content update capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic board system is divided into independent functional modules: display screen, data receiving circuit, control circuit, and communication circuit. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently, enabling dynamic content updates while keeping the overall system manageable and not excessively complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The electronic board integrates multiple functions into a single device: it can receive data wirelessly (Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC), process and generate display content, and show information on one or both sides of the display screen. This multi-functionality provides dynamic content update capability while replacing multiple separate tools (paper boards, printers, communication devices) with one universal device.

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

2Loss of substance

If paper boards are used for information display, then the manufacturing process is simple, but resource consumption increases and environmental friendliness decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepaper consumptionVSAvoidmanufacturing simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical paper-based display system with an electronic display system. Instead of printing information on paper and physically handling paper boards, the system uses electronic circuits to receive, process, and display information digitally on a screen, eliminating paper consumption while the manufacturing process remains feasible through standard electronic component assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If electronic boards with wireless communication are implemented, then the ease of operation improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent transmission convenienceVSAvoidcommunication circuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The communication circuit is designed to support multiple wireless communication protocols (Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC) within a single integrated module. This allows the electronic board to operate easily with different types of mobile devices and communication standards without requiring separate communication circuits for each protocol, thus improving ease of operation while managing complexity through integration.

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

4Loss of information

If dual-sided display is implemented, then the information display capacity increases, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation display capacityVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system utilizes the third dimension by implementing a dual-sided display where information can be shown on both the front and back of the screen. This effectively doubles the information display capacity without requiring two separate display devices, thus increasing information capacity while managing complexity through a single integrated display structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
