Motion Sensor Projection System for Automated Information Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inefficiencies in accessing various types of information throughout their day, as they need to manually search multiple sources, which is time-consuming and burdensome, especially when needing location-specific information.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses motion sensors and a server to detect user presence and location, providing relevant information via projection devices based on preconfigured user preferences, eliminating the need for manual searching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users manually search multiple information sources, then they can obtain desired information, but it consumes unwarranted time and is burdensome
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects user presence via motion sensors and delivers relevant information without requiring manual searching. The projection device projects information directly onto surfaces in the user's vicinity, enabling the system to serve itself by identifying and presenting needed information based on location and context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures information delivery based on user preferences and location data before the user actually needs the information. Motion sensors detect presence in advance, and the system prepares and projects relevant information (work schedules, traffic conditions, weather forecasts) before the user requests it, eliminating the need for manual searching.
2Loss of information
If users access multiple information sources, then they can obtain comprehensive information, but they need to memorize availability and content of sources
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies and presents relevant information from multiple sources without requiring the user to know where information is located or how to access it. The projection device delivers information directly to the user's space, and the system manages the complexity of information sourcing internally.
Solution Approach 2:
The projection device acts as an intermediary between multiple information sources and the user. It consolidates information from various sources (work schedules, traffic, weather, news) and presents it in a unified manner, eliminating the need for users to navigate multiple sources and remember their locations.
3Ease of operation
If information is provided at user location, then convenience is improved, but real-time delivery requires responsive system
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts information delivery based on real-time user presence detection. Motion sensors continuously monitor the environment, and the projection device dynamically projects information onto surfaces as users move through different locations, ensuring real-time responsiveness while maintaining convenience.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and system for providing information to a user are provided. The method includes detecting a trigger based on at least one of signals received from a motion sensor indicating presence of the user within proximity of the motion sensor, wherein the motion sensor is located in proximity to a projection device, and determining a preconfigured time. The method also includes identifying information for providing to the user based on the trigger and stored user preferences. Further, the method includes providing information to the projection device in communication with the server for projecting information on a view space in proximity to the projection device.
