Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in effectively recording and reminding themselves of memo information, as traditional methods like paper notes often lead to loss of data, failing to provide timely reminders.

Innovation Solution

An information exhibiting device and method that combines a display component with an information acquisition component, capable of scanning text-carrying objects, performing text recognition, and acquiring social status information, to display memo and social status information in a user-friendly interface, including calendar, time, and weather information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users record memo information on paper such as notebooks or sticky notes, then users can remind themselves to handle multiple issues in time, but the memo information easily leads to loss and users cannot be effectively prompted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememo information retentionVSAvoidmemo information loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the copying principle by capturing memo information from text-carrying objects (such as photographs, documents, or digital screens) using an image acquisition device, converting the physical or digital information into a digital copy that can be stored and displayed on the electronic device. This digital copy prevents information loss while maintaining the original content's integrity and accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical paper recording (notebooks, sticky notes) with an electronic information processing system. The image acquisition device, text recognition module, and display component work together to capture, process, and present memo information digitally, eliminating the physical handling and storage issues associated with paper-based systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If users use paper notes to record memo information, then users can have a simple recording method, but users cannot be effectively prompted and reminded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecording method simplicityVSAvoidreminder effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by continuously displaying memo information on the display component of the electronic device. The system actively presents the captured information to the user through the user interface, ensuring that reminders are consistently visible and effective. This feedback mechanism replaces the passive nature of paper notes with an active, persistent digital display that cannot be lost or forgotten.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If users manually record memo information, then users have direct control over the content, but the process is time-consuming and reduces productivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation recording efficiencyVSAvoidtime for recording information
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by enabling the device to automatically capture and process memo information without requiring manual transcription. The image acquisition device captures the text-carrying object, the text recognition module automatically converts the image to text, and the system stores and displays the information autonomously. This self-service automation dramatically reduces the time and effort required compared to manual recording while maintaining full control over the captured content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
