Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile devices with small displays face challenges in usability due to user movements, making it difficult to view and interact with content effectively.

Innovation Solution

A system that detects user movement and activity using sensors, adjusting the display interface by enlarging information, selecting important content, and customizing display preferences based on detected movement or activity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Weight of moving object

If the display size is kept small for portability, then the device remains portable and compact, but the user has difficulty viewing and interacting with content when moving

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice portabilityVSAvoidcontent readability
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display interface dynamically adjusts its characteristics based on detected user movement. When movement is detected, the system enlarges information display, selects important content, and customizes preferences to maintain readability while preserving the compact device form factor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If the display interface is static, then the device complexity is low, but the user experience deteriorates during user movement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface simplicityVSAvoidmovement adaptation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses sensors to detect user movement and feeds this information back to dynamically adjust the display interface. This feedback mechanism enables the interface to adapt to user movement while maintaining relatively simple device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The display interface changes its parameters (information size, content selection, display preferences) based on detected movement conditions. This allows the system to adapt to different usage scenarios without requiring fundamentally different interface designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A system or a method may be provided that may detect a movement or activity of a user via the user's mobile and/or wearable devices. The system may adjust the display interface based on the user's detected movement or activity. When a user is very active (biking or jogging), the user may have very limited amount of time or attention to interact with a display interface. The movement or activity of the user may be detected by a motion detection device installed on the mobile device or on the wearable device. When the user is active, the display interface may adjust to enlarge the information to make it easier for the user to view, read, or interact with. The system may also select and display important information, without other peripheral information (less important information) when the user is active.
