Monitor Audio Feedback for Touch Button Error Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Monitors with touch sensor buttons lack feedback, leading to accidental presses and potential damage, and may produce errors in signal input or output without user awareness, causing inconvenience and potential damage.
Innovation Solution
A monitor with reminder sounds, featuring a button connected to an audio player that generates sounds upon touch and a detection module that alerts users to errors in output signals, ensuring intentional button presses and informing users of abnormal monitor states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a touch sensor button is used to replace conventional buttons, then the appearance is more aesthetic and the probability of button damage is reduced, but users may touch the button with insufficient force or press repeatedly without immediate feedback, causing inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback by introducing an audio player that emits sounds when the touch sensor button is pressed. This provides immediate tactile and auditory feedback to users, confirming that their input was registered. The feedback mechanism prevents user confusion about whether the button was pressed intentionally, reducing repeated pressing and improving operational convenience while maintaining button durability.
2Device complexity
If no reminder sound is provided when users press the button, then the device structure remains simple, but users cannot tell whether the button was pressed intentionally or accidentally, leading to potential damage
Solution Approach 1:
The audio player provides immediate feedback upon button press, allowing users to distinguish between intentional and accidental presses. This feedback mechanism enhances monitor safety by preventing accidental damage while adding minimal complexity through the integration of a sound generation component.
3Device complexity
If the monitor operates without error detection, then the device structure remains simple, but errors in signal input or output may occur without user awareness, causing further damage
Solution Approach 1:
The detection module provides feedback by generating audio signals when errors in signal input or output are detected. This informs users of abnormal monitor status without requiring complex visual displays or additional hardware, maintaining structural simplicity while enhancing reliability through active error monitoring and user notification.

AI summary
A monitor with reminder sounds is disclosed. The device includes at least a monitor, at least a button and an audio player. The button is disposed on the monitor for adjusting status of the monitor. The audio player is also arranged on the monitor and is connected with the button. When pressing the button, the audio player receives a signal and makes a sound. The monitor further includes a detection module that is used to check output image signals of the monitor. When detecting errors of output image signals of the monitor, the detection module sends a detection signal to the audio player so as to make the audio player generate a sound. Thus the user is reminded that whether the button is pressed precisely. Furthermore, the device also informs the user is that the monitor is in abnormal status. Therefore, the present invention provides users more convenience of use.
