Motion-Controlled Display Screen for Adaptive Viewing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices have fixed screens, limiting viewer experience as they require a specific distance and position, restricting immersive viewing from different locations and leading to a degradation in user experience.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a motion-controlled screen that adapts its angle and position based on user input and state, using a holding mechanism with actuators and sensors to dynamically change its orientation and shape, allowing on-demand motion control for enhanced viewing comfort and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display screen is fixed at a particular position, then the structure is simple and stable, but the viewing experience degrades when viewers are at different positions
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen transitions from a fixed position to a dynamic, movable structure that can change its position and orientation. The holding mechanism with actuators enables the screen to move along a track and rotate, allowing it to adapt to different viewing positions and scenarios, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity by making the system dynamically adjustable rather than statically complex
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus is designed to perform multiple functions: displaying content, moving along a track, rotating to different angles, and adapting to various viewing scenarios (gaming, entertainment, presentations). This multi-functionality allows a single device to serve diverse viewing needs, improving adaptability while justifying the added complexity through enhanced versatility
2Ease of operation
If the display screen is fixed, then the device complexity is low, but the viewer must be at a specific distance and position for desired viewing experience
Solution Approach 1:
The holding mechanism transforms the static display screen into a dynamic system that can be easily repositioned and reoriented. The actuators and track system enable smooth motion control, allowing viewers to access optimal viewing positions from different locations, thereby improving ease of operation and viewing flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates sensors (cameras, motion detectors) that detect viewer position and provide feedback to the motion control mechanism. This feedback loop enables automatic or semi-automatic adjustment of screen position and orientation to optimize viewing experience, making the complex mechanism easier to operate through intelligent control
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display screen is fixed at a particular position, then the structural stability is high, but the same viewing experience is not available from different locations
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is designed with a hybrid structure: the holding mechanism and track system are dynamic and movable, while the screen itself and its mounting interface maintain structural stability. This allows the screen to be repositioned when needed while maintaining stable, vibration-free display operation at each position, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and stability
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into distinct functional components: the movable holding mechanism (with actuators and track) and the stable display screen assembly. This segmentation allows the support structure to be dynamic while the display component remains stable, enabling multi-location viewing capability without compromising screen position stability during operation
Data Source
AI summary
A display apparatus includes a display screen and circuitry. The circuitry receives a user input that corresponds to a viewing mode of the display screen. The circuitry detects a state of the display screen based on the received user input. The detected state corresponds to one of a rolled state or an unrolled state of the display screen. The circuitry controls a motion of the display screen based on the received user input. The control of the motion corresponds to at least the change in the detected state of the display screen or a change in a swivel angle of the display screen about a swivel axis. The swivel angle corresponds to a rotation of the display screen about the swivel axis.
