Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a movable advertising apparatus in horse competition arenas that can effectively target and engage the specific audience during the downtime when the soil is being tilled with a harrow, as existing fixed advertisements may not be relevant to all diverse crowds.

Innovation Solution

An advertising apparatus comprising a harrow, a media display, and a frame support, where the media display is removably attached to the harrow using a frame support that does not interfere with the tilling performance, allowing for targeted advertising during the downtime between horse competitions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed advertisements are used in stadiums, then advertising visibility is maintained, but relevance to specific audiences (horse competition viewers) is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising relevanceVSAvoidadvertising system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The advertisement system transitions from static fixed signage to dynamic movable displays attached to arena drags. The advertisements move with the drag equipment during arena maintenance, allowing targeted delivery to horse competition audiences while maintaining simplicity through reusable display modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The advertisement displays are designed to be universally applicable across different arena drag equipment. The same display modules can be attached to various drag types used in horse competitions, maximizing audience reach without requiring multiple specialized advertising systems.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If advertisements are mounted on arena drags, then targeted audience engagement is achieved, but interference with tilling performance may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience targetingVSAvoidtilling performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The advertisement displays are positioned on specific localized areas of the arena drag equipment where they do not interfere with the tilling elements. The displays are mounted on frame structures or side surfaces that maintain clear separation from the ground-contacting tilling components, ensuring agricultural function remains uncompromised.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The arena drag is segmented into functional zones: tilling elements that contact the ground and advertisement displays that are elevated or positioned on non-interfering surfaces. This spatial segmentation allows both functions to operate simultaneously without performance degradation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Illumination intensity

If electronic displays are mounted on exterior walls, then advertising visibility is achieved, but mobility and audience targeting capability are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising visibilityVSAvoidaudience targeting
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The advertisement system transitions from static wall-mounted displays to dynamic movable displays attached to arena drags. The displays move with the drag equipment during arena maintenance, allowing targeted delivery to horse competition audiences while maintaining visibility through electronic display technology.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
