Motorized Display Alignment Using User Terminal Position
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Personalized display apparatuses face limitations in optimizing performance, image quality, and sound quality for a single viewer, and existing technologies require users to manually adjust the display for optimal viewing angles.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus equipped with a communicator, motors, memory, and processor that identifies a user terminal's location and position information to automatically pivot the display about yaw, roll, and pitch axes based on threshold angles, ensuring optimal viewing angles without user intervention.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display is rotated to achieve optimal viewing angles, then the viewing comfort is improved, but the user has to manually move or adjust the display which reduces ease of operation
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus automatically detects the user's location and position information via the communicator, calculates the required rotation angles, and controls the motors to rotate the display without any manual intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously adjusting the display orientation based on received user position data, eliminating the need for users to manually move or adjust the display.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automated control system. The processor receives location and position information, calculates optimal rotation angles, and controls motors to automatically rotate the display. This substitutes the mechanical manual adjustment process with an automated electromechanical control system, improving ease of operation and eliminating adjustment time.
2Ease of operation
If the display apparatus continuously monitors user position and rotates the display, then the viewing optimization is improved, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus does not continuously monitor user position but instead activates the monitoring and rotation functions periodically or on-demand. The processor controls the communicator to receive user position information only when needed, and the motors rotate the display only when position changes require adjustment. This periodic operation rather than continuous operation significantly reduces power consumption while maintaining automatic display adjustment capability.

AI summary
Displayed is a display apparatus and a control method thereof. A display apparatus includes a communicator including circuitry, a display, a one or more motors, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to, through the communicator, identify a user terminal apparatus present within a threshold distance of the display apparatus and receive a location and position information of the user terminal apparatus from the identified user terminal apparatus, identify a first angle of a yaw direction, a second angle of a roll direction, and a third angle of a pitch direction between the display and the user terminal apparatus, identify whether at least one of the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle exceeds a threshold, and control the one or more motors to move the display about an axis direction of the at least one angle by at least one move angle.
