Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple flexible displays are used to provide personalized services and portability, then user convenience and versatility are improved, but the ability to execute interactive behaviors between displays is lacking, reducing user-friendliness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where flexible displays detect each other's states through sensors (light sensors, pressure sensors, bending sensors) and automatically adjust their display content and interaction mode based on the detected states, enabling seamless interactive behaviors without requiring complex user configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables flexible displays to autonomously determine their primary or secondary relationship based on sensor-detected states (such as stacking position, bending degree, or pressure contact) and automatically execute appropriate interactive operations, eliminating the need for manual setup or complex user intervention
2Ease of operation
If flexible displays are designed to be lightweight, thin, and flexible for portability, then user convenience is improved, but the complexity of implementing interactive operations between multiple displays increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs multiple types of sensors (light sensors, pressure sensors, bending sensors) that serve multiple functions: they detect both the physical stacking state and trigger interactive operations, eliminating the need for separate detection and control systems and reducing overall system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system determines the relationship between flexible displays by monitoring changes in sensor parameters (light intensity, pressure values, bending degrees) and automatically adjusts display content and interaction modes based on these parameter changes, providing a simple yet effective mechanism for managing multiple displays
