Motorized Monitor Mount for Continuous Posture Correction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users maintain undesirable postures for extended periods while using mobile devices, leading to cervical vertebrae deformities, nerve damage, and chronic fatigue due to the fixed position of monitors and TVs, which fail to prevent unconscious posture imbalances.
Innovation Solution
A display mounting device equipped with a driving motor, arm unit, and position detecting unit that moves the display to correct the user's posture by adjusting its position and angle, providing a controlled and gradual change to promote optimal viewing angles and reduce strain.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the monitor position is fixed to ensure stable installation, then the installation reliability is improved, but the user's posture cannot be corrected and chronic fatigue occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed monitor stand into a movable one. The arm unit with multiple degrees of freedom allows the monitor to move dynamically in response to user posture changes detected by sensors, while maintaining stable installation through the mounting base. This resolves the contradiction by making the position adaptable rather than static.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs self-service through automatic posture detection and correction. Sensors detect the user's posture in real-time, and the control unit automatically adjusts the monitor position via the arm unit without requiring manual intervention. This enables the system to correct posture imbalance autonomously while maintaining reliable installation.
2Device complexity
If the monitor is mounted at a fixed position to simplify the device structure, then the device complexity is reduced, but it cannot prevent unconscious abnormal posture changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic capabilities through the arm unit with multiple joints and degrees of freedom, allowing the monitor to adjust its position automatically. This adds complexity to the device structure but enables real-time posture correction, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms using sensors that continuously monitor user posture and provide real-time data to the control unit. This feedback loop enables automatic adjustment of the monitor position, preventing abnormal posture changes while managing device complexity through intelligent control.
3Ease of operation
If a correction tool is used to adjust posture, then the posture correction effect is improved, but it requires one-time manual adjustment which is insufficient for continuous correction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent ensures continuous posture correction through real-time monitoring and adjustment. The sensors continuously detect posture changes, and the control unit continuously adjusts the monitor position via the arm unit, maintaining corrective action throughout the entire usage period rather than relying on one-time adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting posture deviations and adjusting the monitor position without requiring manual intervention. This continuous autonomous operation maintains effective posture correction throughout the duration of use, eliminating the need for repeated manual adjustments.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If the display position is changed manually to correct posture, then the posture correction capability is improved, but the user cannot consistently maintain ideal posture during busy daily life
Solution Approach 1:
The system eliminates the need for manual posture maintenance by implementing self-service functionality. Sensors automatically detect the user's posture, and the control unit autonomously adjusts the display position through the arm unit, making posture correction as easy as using the display without requiring additional user effort.
Solution Approach 2:
The feedback mechanism continuously monitors user posture and automatically triggers display position adjustments. This closed-loop system maintains ideal posture conditions without requiring user awareness or intervention, making posture correction as effortless as normal display usage.
