Solution Overview

Problem

Display screens with variable sizes, such as flexible or foldable screens, face issues where the visual subject's position remains fixed, impairing the user's visual experience as the screen expands or contracts.

Innovation Solution

A method that dynamically updates the display position of a target object on the screen based on real-time changes in the screen's size parameters, using sensors to detect size updates and applying pre-set layout strategies to maintain the object's relative position, employing specific distribution ratios like the golden ratio to ensure consistent visual experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen size is made variable (flexible or foldable), then the adaptability of the device is improved, but the visual experience deteriorates because the visual subject position remains fixed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen adaptabilityVSAvoidvisual experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the display position dynamic rather than fixed. The visual subject position automatically adjusts according to the real-time size changes of the display screen, transforming the static positioning system into a dynamic one that adapts to screen expansion or contraction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using sensors to detect the actual size of the display screen and feeding this information back to the positioning system. Based on this feedback, the visual subject position is recalculated and adjusted to maintain optimal viewing experience throughout the screen transformation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen expands or contracts, then the versatility of the device is improved, but the position stability of the visual subject deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen size flexibilityVSAvoidvisual subject position stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static position composition to dynamic position composition. The visual subject position is continuously adjusted in response to screen size changes, maintaining stability through dynamic adaptation rather than fixed composition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the position parameters of the visual subject based on the detected screen size parameters. As the screen size changes, the position parameters (coordinates, scaling, positioning) are recalculated to maintain the visual subject in the optimal position.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An electronic device includes a first antenna, a second antenna, and a target device. The first antenna is arranged at a first position and is configured as a transmission antenna to radiate a first radio frequency (RF) signal of a target frequency band. The second antenna is arranged at a second position different from the first position and is configured as a receiving antenna to receive a second RF signal of the target frequency band. The target device is arranged at a third position and is configured to generate a third RF signal of the target frequency band. The third RF signal is used to reduce an impact of the first RF signal on the second antenna receiving the second RF signal. The third position is different from the second position and the first position.
