Solution Overview

Problem

Users face low searching efficiency and poor user experience when trying to access preferred information on display devices while lying or sitting on pads due to the vast amount of available data, as existing methods lack effective user identification and preference determination.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that detect and identify users on pads using temperature, pressure, and biological data, determining user preferences based on historical and physiological parameters to transmit specific instructions to display devices for personalized content display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually search for preferred information on display devices, then information access is possible, but searching efficiency is low and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearching efficiencyVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically identifies users through sensors (temperature, pressure, biological data) and autonomously determines and displays preferred information without requiring manual searching. The intelligent pad detects user presence and characteristics, then the display device automatically presents tailored content, making the system serve itself rather than requiring active user searching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-establishes user profiles with preferred information types and pre-determines what content should be displayed for each user. When a user is detected, the corresponding preferred information is already prepared and immediately displayed, eliminating the need for users to search through vast amounts of data at the moment of need.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If the display device shows all available information, then information completeness is maintained, but information selection becomes difficult and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinformation selection
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of uniformly displaying all information for all users, the system applies local quality by tailoring the displayed information to each specific user's preferences and characteristics. Each user receives a customized information subset based on their profile, making the information both complete for their needs and easily selectable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-sorts and pre-selects information based on user profiles before display. User preferences are established in advance, and when information needs to be displayed, the appropriate content is already filtered and organized according to each user's specific interests, eliminating the overwhelm of choosing from all available information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If the system implements user identification using multiple sensors and parameters, then user identification accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser identification accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The user identification system is segmented into multiple independent sensing layers (temperature sensing, pressure sensing, biological data sensing) that operate separately but contribute collectively to user identification. Each sensor type handles a specific aspect of detection, and their results are integrated to achieve high accuracy without requiring a single complex identification mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
