Interactive Display Positioning for Bidirectional Audio-Video Links
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing interactive display systems cannot bidirectionally transmit and receive image and audio data with other servers, and lack the ability to automatically adjust their position for optimal user viewing.
Innovation Solution
A display device with extension portions and a camera, microphone, and communication capabilities that allow bidirectional data exchange and automatic positioning for optimal user viewing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display device does not have communication means for transmitting and receiving data to and from another server, then the device structure remains simple, but the device cannot bidirectionally transmit and receive image and audio data with other servers
Solution Approach 1:
The communication means is designed to perform multiple functions including transmitting image data, transmitting audio data, receiving image data, and receiving audio data to and from another server, consolidating these functions into a single integrated communication module rather than separate dedicated components for each function
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from unidirectional data flow to bidirectional data transmission by adding communication means that enables two-way exchange of both image and audio data between the display device and another server, expanding the data transmission dimension
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display device does not have image capturing means and image data transmission means, then the device structure remains simple, but the device cannot capture objects and transmit image data to other servers
Solution Approach 1:
The camera (image capturing means) is integrated with the display device housing, and the image data transmission means is combined with the communication means, merging multiple functions into unified components rather than separate independent systems
Solution Approach 2:
The image capturing means is pre-positioned in the housing to capture objects before data transmission occurs, and the system is pre-configured with the capability to transmit captured image data to other servers, preparing the data flow path in advance
3Ease of operation
If the display device does not have automatic positioning capability, then the device structure remains simple, but the display cannot automatically move to positions where users can see it most easily
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is designed with movable capabilities including rotation about its center, vertical movement along a support rod, and rotation about the support rod, transitioning from a static fixed position to a dynamic adjustable position system that can adapt to user viewing needs
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates sensors to detect user position and viewing angle, providing feedback that enables the display device to automatically adjust its position and orientation to optimize viewing conditions for users at different locations
Data Source
AI summary
A display device has a digital camera that captures a user facing a front panel installed on an extension member. The display device includes a communication means capable of transmitting and receiving predetermined data to and from another server using the Internet, an image capturing means that captures the user using the digital camera, an image data transmission means that transmits image data of the user captured by the capturing means to another server using the communication means, an image data reception means that receives image data of a third party facing the user via the display device from the another server using the communication means, and an image data output means that outputs an image of the third party received by the image data reception means to the front panel. The display device can bidirectionally transmit/receive image data, acquire and/or provide various types of image information from/to another server.
