Mirror display apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mirror display apparatuses face usability issues due to a fixed information image display position, causing interference between displayed images and reflection functions, which hampers user experience.
Innovation Solution
A mirror display apparatus equipped with a detection unit to identify a human presence and a processing unit that adjusts the position, size, shape, or number of display areas to ensure the image display area is outside the mirror area, preventing interference and enhancing usability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the mirror display unit displays an information image at a fixed position, then the display function is available, but the reflection function is interfered with when a human body is in front of the mirror
Solution Approach 1:
The display area position is changed from fixed to dynamic. The processing unit adjusts the display area position based on real-time detection of human body position by the detection unit, allowing the display area to move dynamically and avoid interfering with the mirror reflection area, thus resolving the contradiction between display availability and user experience
Solution Approach 2:
The position parameter of the display area is changed dynamically. When a human body is detected in front of the mirror, the processing unit modifies the position parameter of the display area to relocate it outside the mirror reflection area, enabling the system to adapt between display and mirror functions based on usage conditions
2Adaptability or versatility
If the mirror display unit simultaneously displays an image and reflects a scene, then both functions are available, but interference occurs between the displayed image and reflection
Solution Approach 1:
The mirror display unit area is segmented into distinct display area and mirror reflection area. The processing unit dynamically adjusts the position and size of the display area to ensure it does not overlap with the mirror reflection area, effectively separating the two functions spatially and eliminating interference while maintaining dual functionality
Solution Approach 2:
Different areas of the mirror display unit are assigned different functions dynamically. The detection unit identifies the mirror reflection area where a human body is present, and the processing unit ensures the display area is positioned outside this region, giving each local area its appropriate function without interference
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution allows for seamless use of the mirror display apparatus as both a reflection surface and an image display without interference, significantly improving user experience by dynamically adjusting the display areas in response to human presence and movement.
Implementation Method 1
a detection unit configured to detect a first area in the mirror display unit corresponding to a human body in front of the mirror display unit
