Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display devices are limited in their ability to dynamically change position and angle in response to user gaze without manual operation, restricting their flexibility and usability.

Innovation Solution

A display device equipped with a flight unit, position and posture information receiving units, a flight control unit, and a posture correction unit that allows it to automatically adjust its angle and position based on user gaze, using sensors and control systems to track the user's movement and maintain optimal viewing alignment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a display device is made fixed and stationary, then structural simplicity and ease of manufacture are improved, but adaptability and ease of operation deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoiddynamic position adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display device transitions from a fixed structure to a dynamic flying structure capable of autonomous movement and position adjustment in three-dimensional space, allowing the display to adapt to different viewing locations and user positions without manual repositioning

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The display device incorporates autonomous navigation capabilities with sensors and control systems that enable it to automatically track and follow users without requiring manual operation, making the system self-adjusting and eliminating the need for user intervention in position changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Device complexity

If a display device is made fixed and stationary, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoidhands-free operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display device incorporates autonomous navigation capabilities with sensors and control systems that enable it to automatically track and follow users without requiring manual operation, making the system self-adjusting and eliminating the need for user intervention in position changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If a display device is made fixed, then manufacturing precision requirements are simplified, but adaptability to user gaze deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixed screen positioningVSAvoidgaze-based angle adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display device transitions from a fixed structure to a dynamic flying structure capable of autonomous movement and position adjustment in three-dimensional space, allowing the display to adapt to different viewing locations and user positions without manual repositioning

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The display device uses sensors to detect user gaze direction and position, then automatically adjusts its orientation and angle in real-time to maintain optimal viewing alignment, creating a closed-loop system that continuously adapts to user needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
