Geofenced Display Photosensitivity Protection via Dynamic Pixel Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users with photosensitive conditions are exposed to potentially triggering content on displays, which can cause adverse health reactions, and existing technologies lack effective methods to dynamically modify displays to protect these users.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that establishes a geofence around displays with changeable pixels, monitors for pixel changes, identifies photosensitive users, calculates a photosensitivity score using a trained model, and adjusts the display content to mitigate potential triggers based on user-specific conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If display content is dynamically modified to protect photosensitive users, then safety of photosensitive users is improved, but display functionality and user experience for others deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different display modifications to different spatial locations or user groups. Photosensitive users receive protected content while other users view unmodified content, achieving localized quality adjustment based on user characteristics and geofence location.
Solution Approach 2:
The display content is dynamically adjusted in real-time based on detected user characteristics, geofence status, and photosensitivity scores. The system continuously monitors and modifies display parameters (brightness, contrast, color saturation) to protect photosensitive users while maintaining normal functionality for others.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If display parameters are adjusted to reduce photosensitivity triggers, then harmful effects are reduced, but content visibility and quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system modifies specific display parameters (brightness, contrast, color saturation, refresh rate) to reduce photosensitivity triggers while preserving content visibility. These parameter changes are calculated to minimize harmful effects while maintaining acceptable viewing quality for photosensitive users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system converts potentially harmful rapid pixel changes into beneficial gradual transitions by adjusting refresh rates and interpolation algorithms. This transforms the harmful flashing or sudden color changes into smooth transitions that protect photosensitive users while maintaining content clarity.
3Reliability
If real-time monitoring of pixel changes is implemented, then photosensitive users are protected, but system complexity and computational load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of content changes and photosensitivity risks before actual display rendering. By pre-calculating photosensitivity scores and determining necessary modifications in advance, the system reduces real-time computational burden while maintaining effective protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer between content source and display that analyzes pixel changes, calculates photosensitivity scores, and determines modifications. This intermediary module manages the computational complexity by breaking down the monitoring and modification process into manageable stages.
