Interactive Dog Display System with Sensor Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display systems for dogs lack interactivity and fail to adapt content based on the dog's approach, viewing behavior, emotions, or health, leading to potential loss of interest and negative emotional responses.
Innovation Solution
An interactive display system for dogs that includes a display module, sensors (such as cameras, proximity sensors, and microphones), and a controller. The system determines the dog's approach, viewing status, emotions, and health information, allowing it to adjust content and operation dynamically.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the dog owner selects and provides video unilaterally, then the video content can be provided, but the dog may lose interest in the video
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs multiple sensors (camera, proximity sensor, microphone) to continuously monitor the dog's viewing status, emotional state, and physical proximity. This feedback loop enables the controller to dynamically adjust video content selection and playback parameters, transforming the unilateral content provision into an interactive experience that adapts to the dog's real-time responses
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables the dog to effectively select and control video content through its natural behaviors. By detecting the dog's approach, viewing status, and emotional reactions, the system allows the dog to indirectly control what content is displayed, making the content selection process self-service oriented rather than owner-controlled
2Ease of operation
If the video continues to be played when the dog is not watching or experiences negative emotions, then the display apparatus remains operational, but the dog's interest decreases and negative emotions may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The camera and microphone continuously monitor the dog's emotional state through facial expression analysis and sound detection. When negative emotions are detected, the system automatically adjusts or pauses video playback, preventing further negative emotional impact while maintaining ease of operation through automatic control
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts video playback based on real-time detection of the dog's viewing status and emotional state. The playback parameters (continuation, pausing, content change) are continuously adapted to the dog's current state, ensuring the system responds appropriately without requiring manual intervention
3Adaptability or versatility
If sensors and controllers are added to determine dog's approach, viewing status, emotions and health, then interactivity and content adaptability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The camera serves multiple functions: detecting the dog's approach, analyzing facial expressions for emotional state, and monitoring viewing status. The proximity sensor and microphone also contribute to multiple detection tasks. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated sensors for each function, managing system complexity while enhancing interactive capability

AI summary
An interactive display system for a dog includes a display module, a sensor and a controller. The display module displays an image. The sensor is senses the dog's condition. The controller determines at least one of the dog's approach, whether the dog views a video and the dog's emotion based on sensed data of the sensor and controls an operation of the interactive display system.
