Mobile Terminal Transparent Display Path Search
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals face limitations in display size and viewing angles, making it inconvenient to provide users with information, especially in complex environments like navigation, where a larger display and better viewing angles are necessary for effective path searching and information dissemination.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal system that integrates a wireless communication unit, a display unit, and a controller to transmit and output path search information to a transparent display apparatus, allowing for real-time road information and guidance on a transparent display, even when the terminal is not within the user's direct viewing angle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the display unit size is increased to provide more path search information, then the information display capability is improved, but the mobility and portability of the terminal deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the display from the traditional 2D screen surface into the 3D space in front of the user by utilizing a transparent display apparatus. This allows path search information to be displayed in a spatial dimension beyond the terminal's physical screen, effectively increasing display area without compromising terminal portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The transparent display apparatus serves as an intermediary between the terminal's display unit and the user's field of view. It receives screen information from the terminal and projects it onto a transparent surface in front of the user, enabling information to be displayed in a location that does not interfere with the terminal's mobility while still being easily viewable.
2Loss of information
If the terminal is placed within the user's direct viewing angle for better information visibility, then the information accessibility is improved, but the natural viewing experience and comfort deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the third dimension (space in front of the user) to display information, allowing the terminal to remain in its natural position while the information is projected onto a transparent surface within the user's field of view. This separates the terminal's physical location from the information display location.
Solution Approach 2:
The transparent display apparatus utilizes optical properties including transparency and light interaction to display information that is visible within the user's natural field of view without requiring the user to shift their gaze or position the terminal in an uncomfortable location.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a transparent display apparatus is introduced to extend display capabilities, then the information display flexibility is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transparent display apparatus is designed to receive and display various types of screen information from the terminal, including path search information, maps, and other navigation data. This multi-functional capability allows a single additional device to provide multiple display options without requiring multiple specialized components.
