Motorized Monitor Mount for Gradual Posture-Correcting Tilt
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
1Stability of the object's composition
If the monitor position is fixed to ensure stability, then the monitor remains stable, but the user cannot maintain an ideal posture for extended periods
Solution Approach 1:
The monitor mounting device transitions from a static fixed position to a dynamic adjustable position. The device includes a mounting structure that can move the monitor between multiple positions, allowing the user to adjust the monitor location to maintain proper posture while using the display for extended periods.
2Ease of operation
If correction tools are used to improve posture, then posture alignment is improved, but the solution is only temporary and does not address the fundamental problem
Solution Approach 1:
The system proactively adjusts the monitor position before the user develops poor posture habits. By automatically or pre-configured positioning, the monitor is placed at the optimal position before the user begins work, preventing posture degradation rather than correcting it after the fact.
3Device complexity
If the monitor is mounted at a fixed position to simplify the mounting structure, then the mounting structure remains simple, but it cannot prevent unconscious abnormal posture changes
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting device is divided into separate functional modules: a mounting base, an adjustable arm mechanism, and a monitor holder. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall structural simplicity, enabling position adjustment without significantly increasing complexity.
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 effectively prevents secondary neck and waist issues, relieves chronic fatigue and pain, and improves concentration and task efficiency by subtly adjusting the display's position to maintain optimal posture without user awareness.
Implementation Method 1
a driving motor which receives driving power and provides a rotational driving force

AI summary
A display mounting device is disclosed. The display mounting device includes a driving motor which provides a rotational driving force; and an arm unit which receives the rotational driving force and moves linearly in at least one zone, thereby becoming stretched or extended. The display mounting device further includes a display mount for receiving a display and for moving the display in coordination with the stretching or extension of the arm unit.
