Solution Overview

Problem

Large format display (LFD) apparatuses pose challenges in user accessibility due to fixed content display, making it difficult for users of varying heights to view and interact with the screen comfortably, particularly for shorter individuals.

Innovation Solution

An LFD apparatus equipped with sensors, such as cameras or infrared sensors, to detect user height and adjust the display location and priority of content elements based on estimated user height, field of view, and age, allowing for dynamic reconfiguration of the screen layout to enhance user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If content is fixedly displayed on the LFD apparatus, then the display structure is simple, but user accessibility and comfort deteriorate for users of varying heights

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser accessibilityVSAvoiddisplay structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic content element relocation based on detected user height. The processor automatically adjusts the position of content elements on the display screen according to the user's physical characteristics, transforming the static display into a dynamic adaptive system that optimizes accessibility for each user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes display parameters (content element positions) based on detected user parameters (height). By monitoring user height and相应 adjusting content placement, the system adapts the display configuration to match user physical characteristics, improving accessibility without requiring complex hardware modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Area of stationary object

If the screen size is large, then information display capacity is improved, but user viewing comfort deteriorates for users of different heights

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen sizeVSAvoidviewing comfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by positioning different content elements at different vertical locations on the screen based on user height. Important content elements are placed in regions most accessible to the detected user, creating locally optimized viewing zones that accommodate the user's physical characteristics while maintaining the large screen format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If content elements are dynamically relocated based on user height, then user accessibility is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser accessibilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting user height and autonomously adjusting content element positions without requiring manual user input or complex interaction. The processor independently completes the adaptation process, reducing the need for complex user interface elements while improving accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
