Flexible Display Area Adaptation via Sensor Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Flexible electronic devices struggle to dynamically adjust their display areas based on shape changes and user situations, limiting their functionality and user experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with sensors and a processor that identifies wearing and bending states, dynamically determines and adjusts display areas on a flexible display to optimize information presentation based on user posture and activity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the flexible display maintains a fixed display area, then the device structure is simple, but the adaptability to different wearing states and situations is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is made dynamic and adjustable based on detected wearing states and situations. The processor determines different display areas (first display area for wearing state, second display area for situation) and controls the flexible display to present information in the determined display area, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions without fixed constraints
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses sensors to continuously detect wearing state information, bending state information, and situation changes, then feeds this information back to the processor which adjusts the display area accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the display to adapt automatically to different wearing states and user situations
2Loss of information
If the display shows all object information at once, then information completeness is high, but user attention and readability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into different regions (first display area and second display area) that are activated based on detected states. The processor determines which display area to use and presents relevant object information in that area, dividing the information presentation into context-appropriate segments rather than displaying everything simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
Different display areas are used for different information presentation needs. The first display area is optimized for wearing state information while the second display area is optimized for situation-based information. Each display area has tailored characteristics suitable for its specific purpose, improving readability for the current context
