Location-Based Display Background Rotation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile electronic devices require manual intervention to change display backgrounds based on location, which is inefficient and lacks automation.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a mobile electronic device with a display background rotation system that uses a camera, navigation, and NFC to capture and associate images with locations, automatically replacing the display background with images relevant to the device's current location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual intervention is used to change display backgrounds based on location, then the user can control the display background, but the operation becomes inefficient and requires continuous user input
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the device's current location using GPS coordinates and autonomously selects and applies the corresponding display background image from stored images, eliminating the need for manual user intervention. The processor compares current location with stored location data and automatically rotates backgrounds based on location changes.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display background changes periodically based on time, then the background updates automatically, but it cannot adapt to location-based personalization requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches the background rotation criterion from static time-based periodic changes to dynamic location-based changes. The processor continuously monitors GPS coordinates and automatically selects backgrounds based on the device's current geographical position, enabling adaptive personalization without requiring complex manual configuration.
3Extent of automation
If multiple images are stored for different locations, then location-specific backgrounds can be displayed, but the device requires manual configuration to associate images with locations
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores multiple display background images in the memory system, each associated with specific GPS location coordinates. When the device is at a particular location, the processor automatically retrieves and displays the corresponding pre-stored image, eliminating the need for real-time manual configuration and reducing setup time.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic device allowing changing of a display background thereof obtains a current location from a navigation device. An image associated with the current location is sought in a memory system, in response to a determination that the current location does not match a location associated with the current display background displayed on a display device. The current display background is replaced with the located image.
