Solution Overview

Problem

Passengers in manned devices face poor personalized and privacy experiences due to fixed display screens requiring prolonged awkward viewing postures and limited control over content, with no AR/MR devices designed for passengers.

Innovation Solution

A head-mounted display system comprising a head-mounted display apparatus, a touch device, and a manned terminal apparatus, allowing passengers to control display content through touch operations and providing a personal, screen-free viewing experience with adjustable seating and enhanced privacy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a fixed display screen is arranged on the manned device, then the display content can be shared, but the passenger needs to maintain an awkward viewing posture for a long time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing comfortVSAvoidtime maintaining awkward posture
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transitioning from a fixed display screen to a head-mounted display apparatus that moves with the passenger's head. This allows the display to dynamically adjust its position relative to the passenger, eliminating the need to maintain awkward postures while viewing content for extended periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dimensionality change by moving the display from a two-dimensional fixed screen on the vehicle to a three-dimensional head-mounted apparatus that travels with the passenger. This spatial repositioning allows natural viewing without posture constraints.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed display screen is arranged on the manned device, then the display is easily accessible, but the passenger cannot optionally switch the display content according to personal demands

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent selection flexibilityVSAvoidpersonalized control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by enabling each passenger to independently control and select display content through the head-mounted display apparatus. The system allows passengers to autonomously choose and switch content according to their personal preferences without relying on a shared fixed screen controlled by others.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Device complexity

If a fixed display screen is arranged on the manned device, then the structure is simple, but the privacy experience of the passenger is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay system structureVSAvoidprivacy exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the shared display experience into individual private viewing zones through head-mounted display apparatuses. Each passenger receives dedicated display content on their personal device, eliminating the privacy issues inherent in shared fixed screens while maintaining system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
