Inertial Measurement Unit with Integrated Display Mode Switch
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing inertial measurement units require users to check measurement results on a separate display unit, making the process complicated and user-unfriendly, especially since the display information varies depending on the user and the type of inertial sensor used.
Innovation Solution
An inertial measurement unit with a sensor unit, a processing unit, and a display unit integrated into a single device, featuring a mode changeover switch that allows users to change the display mode directly on the device, eliminating the need for external monitoring and enabling easy operation and data interpretation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display unit is provided separately from the inertial measurement unit, then the measurement results can be displayed, but the user needs to check the results on a separate device, making the operation complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display unit with the inertial measurement unit into a single integrated device. The display unit is positioned adjacent to the inertial measurement unit, allowing users to view measurement results directly on the same device without needing to check a separate display unit, thereby simplifying the operation and reducing the complexity of the checking process
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display information is fixed, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot meet various user demands about display form
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a switchable display mode mechanism that allows the display unit to switch between different display forms. The first display mode shows measurement results in a first form, while the second display mode shows measurement results in a second form. This dynamic switching capability enables the device to adapt to different user demands without requiring multiple fixed display systems, thus providing versatility while controlling complexity
