Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional image display systems provide a fixed-angle view, limiting the user experience by not allowing multi-angle backgrounds, which is a significant industry challenge.

Innovation Solution

A floating image system comprising a controller, a first floating image display device, and a second detachably connected floating image display device, which together provide three-dimensional floating images from various angles, enhancing the visual experience by displaying two-dimensional and three-dimensional images simultaneously.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional fixed-angle display device is used, then the device structure is simple, but the viewing angle and visual experience are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angleVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is divided into multiple independent display devices, each capable of displaying images from different angles. These segmented devices work together to form a comprehensive multi-angle display system, resolving the contradiction by distributing the viewing angle functionality across multiple units rather than requiring a single complex device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single fixed-angle display plane to a multi-dimensional spatial arrangement of multiple display devices. By adding spatial dimensionality and positioning devices at different angles and positions, the system achieves multi-angle viewing capability while maintaining individual device simplicity

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If a single floating image display device is used, then the device complexity is low, but the visual environment richness is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual environment richnessVSAvoidsystem configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple floating image display devices are merged to work together as an integrated system. Each device displays content from its specific angle, and when combined, they create a rich multi-angle visual environment. This merging approach achieves visual richness while allowing each individual device to remain relatively simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

Each floating image display device is designed with universal functionality to display images independently, while the system as a whole achieves multi-functionality by combining multiple devices to provide multi-angle viewing. This allows the system to adapt to different viewing requirements without increasing individual device complexity

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