Luggage Display Adapting Visual Content via Position Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Transportable luggage items with electronic display devices struggle to effectively communicate visual information across different geographical locations and cultures, as the displayed content may not be intelligible or relevant to the local environment.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a luggage item with a position acquisition device, a communication device for connecting to a remote server via a wide area network, and a control device that adapts visual information displayed on an electronic display device based on the luggage's position data, allowing for dynamic content adjustment according to the user's location, culture, and environmental context.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the luggage item displays static visual information, then the display device can show content, but the content becomes unintelligible or irrelevant when traveling to different countries and cultures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic visual information display by continuously updating the displayed content based on real-time position data from GPS or other location services. The control device receives position data, determines the current geographical location and cultural context, and dynamically changes the visual information to match the local environment, making the display adaptable rather than static
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the position acquisition device continuously monitors the luggage's location, transmits this data to the control device, which then selects and displays culturally appropriate visual information. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures the displayed content remains relevant to the current geographical and cultural context
2Adaptability or versatility
If the luggage item includes position acquisition and communication devices, then the visual information can be adapted to location, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control device serves multiple functions: it manages the electronic display device, processes position data from the position acquisition device, communicates with remote servers via the communication device, and controls the overall adaptation of visual information. By making the control device universal and multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the position acquisition device, communication device, control device, and electronic display device into an integrated system where components work together synergistically. The control device acts as a central hub that merges the functions of receiving position data, communicating with servers, and controlling the display, thereby reducing overall system complexity
