Flexible Display Page Turning via Bending Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals with flexible displays lack an effective method to accurately sense and respond to bending, limiting their ability to perform intuitive page-turning functions without additional user input.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal system with a flexible display unit that includes sensing units at the ends to generate signals based on movement, allowing the controller to select and display different pages based on the bending angle and speed, enabling page movement and bookmarking functions without explicit user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If sensing units are added to detect bending movements, then page turning functionality is enabled, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing units serve multiple functions: detecting bending movements for page turning, determining bending speed, and triggering bookmarking operations. This multi-functionality enables comprehensive page navigation control without requiring separate mechanisms for each function, thereby resolving the contradiction between enhanced adaptability and increased device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects bending actions and executes page turning or bookmarking operations without requiring additional user input. The mobile terminal self-services by interpreting sensing unit data and autonomously performing navigation functions, reducing the need for complex user interface elements while maintaining versatility.
2Ease of operation
If bending detection is implemented, then user convenience is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing units continuously monitor bending movements and provide real-time feedback to the controller. This feedback mechanism enables the system to detect not only the presence of bending but also its speed and direction, allowing for precise control of page turning operations while maintaining ease of use through intuitive gesture recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts its response based on bending speed detection. By measuring the speed of bending movements, the system can distinguish between intentional page turning gestures and accidental touches, thereby improving measurement precision without compromising user convenience. The dynamic response adapts to different interaction intensities.
