Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile advertisements lack targeted delivery based on user characteristics and location, often being intrusive and ineffective due to small screen space, leading to low acceptance and poor communication of advertising content.

Innovation Solution

A mobile device equipped with a projection module, camera module group, and control circuit board that acquires and adjusts advertisement content projection based on environment and viewer data, allowing for flexible and targeted advertising by projecting content onto external surfaces, including people and objects, using a DLP miniature projection module with LED light source and GPS for location-based content delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If advertisements are embedded in mobile terminal screens, then mobile advertisements can be displayed, but the screen space is limited and advertisement contents are too small for users to notice

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement display areaVSAvoidportability of mobile device
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from two-dimensional screen display to three-dimensional projection display. The projection module projects advertisement contents onto external surfaces (walls, posters, people's clothes), expanding the display area from the limited mobile screen to large external surfaces, thereby solving the contradiction between display area and device portability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a projection module as an intermediary between the mobile device and the display surface. This intermediary component converts the digital advertisement content into projected light images that can be displayed on external surfaces, enabling large-area advertisement display without requiring a large physical device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If spam messages and advertisements are sent to mobile phones, then advertisement delivery is achieved, but user data cannot be accurately controlled and target groups cannot be established

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement delivery efficiencyVSAvoiduser characteristic data
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs camera modules to capture real-time images of the surrounding environment and user reactions to projected advertisements. This feedback mechanism allows the system to identify target audiences, analyze their characteristics, and adjust advertisement content accordingly, thereby establishing clear target groups and improving advertisement delivery efficiency while preserving user data relevance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the traditional text-based spam message delivery system with a visual projection system enhanced by image recognition technology. The camera modules capture visual information about users and environment, substituting mechanical data collection methods with optical sensing, enabling accurate identification of target groups without losing user characteristic data.

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

3Area of stationary object

If advertisements are projected onto external surfaces, then advertisement display area is expanded and user engagement is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement display areaVSAvoidstructure of mobile device
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple functional modules (projection module, camera module group, GPS module, main unit fixing device) into a single mobile device structure. By merging these components into one unified system, the patent achieves large-area advertisement projection capability while managing device complexity through integrated design rather than separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile device is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a conventional mobile device and as an advertisement projection system. The projection module, camera modules, and GPS functionality are integrated into the existing mobile device framework, allowing the device to perform multiple functions without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
