Self-Adjusting Kiosk Display Recentering for Accessibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Kiosks are not adaptable to customers of varying sizes and transportation vehicles, leading to accessibility issues as they are typically rigid and 'one size fits all' in design.
Innovation Solution
A self-adjusting kiosk display system that detects user input and repositions information dynamically based on user-defined center points, using touch-sensitive screens or image processing from hidden cameras to accommodate different user positions and vehicle sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a stationary kiosk is used with fixed display positioning, then the kiosk structure is simple and stable, but it cannot accommodate customers of varying sizes and vehicle types
Solution Approach 1:
The display presentation is made dynamically repositionable based on detected user touch locations. The system transitions from a fixed centered display to one that can be repositioned to different locations on the display surface, allowing adaptation to different customer heights and vehicle types while maintaining a simple physical kiosk structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the positional parameter of the display presentation based on detected user input. By detecting touch locations and recalculating the centered position relative to those locations, the system adapts the display parameters to suit different customers without altering the physical kiosk structure.
2Ease of operation
If the display presentation is repositioned for each user, then accessibility is improved, but the system requires detecting user input and processing locations
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the customer's own touch input on the display to determine the repositioning location. By detecting where the customer naturally touches the display and using that location to recalculate the centered position, the system allows customers to self-adjust the display without requiring external adjustment mechanisms or complex sensing hardware.
Solution Approach 2:
The system detects customer touch locations as feedback and uses this information to automatically reposition the display presentation. This feedback loop allows the system to adapt to individual customer needs in real-time, improving accessibility while keeping the adjustment mechanism simple and software-based.

AI summary
Techniques for self adjusting kiosk display information are provided. Presentation information is centered within a display of the kiosk. A center location for the presentation information is custom recalibrated within the display based on direction of a user. The layout, content, and presentation within the display of the kiosk is user-driven and customizable.
