Multi-Face Wristwatch Display Guided by Posture and Movement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wristwatches lack innovative display features that provide new value and awareness of time display when not in use.
Innovation Solution
A wristwatch with a rectangular parallelepiped shape featuring five display units on its upper face and four sides, controlled by a display control unit based on detected information such as position, posture, movement, and health data, allowing linked or associated image movements across these displays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple display units are formed over entire areas of five faces of the wristwatch body, then the visibility and information display capability are improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into five independent display units, each covering one face of the wristwatch body. This segmentation allows each display unit to be controlled independently based on detection information, enabling comprehensive information display while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The wristwatch body serves multiple functions: it houses the detection unit, display control unit, and five display units simultaneously. The rectangular parallelepiped shape provides a universal platform that accommodates all components efficiently, transforming a single structural element into a multi-functional integrated system.
2Illumination intensity
If display units are formed on five faces of the wristwatch body, then the visual awareness and user interaction are improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Each of the five faces of the wristwatch body is equipped with a display unit that has uniform coverage over the entire face area. This local quality approach ensures consistent visual output across different surfaces while allowing the rectangular parallelepiped structure to provide stable geometric references for manufacturing alignment.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display control unit controls display based on detected information such as position, posture, movement, and health data, then the adaptability and user experience are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection unit continuously monitors position, posture, movement, and health information of the user, providing real-time feedback to the display control unit. This feedback mechanism enables the display units to adapt their content dynamically, enhancing versatility while managing complexity through automated control algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The display control unit autonomously processes detection information and controls the display units without requiring constant user intervention. The system serves itself by automatically adjusting display content based on detected parameters, improving adaptability while reducing operational complexity.

AI summary
A wristwatch includes: a wristwatch body having a rectangular parallelepiped shape; five display units that are formed over entire areas of five faces excluding a lower face out of six faces that form a surface of the wristwatch body; a display control unit that controls a display on each of five display units; and detection units that detect at least one information out of position information of the wristwatch, posture information of the wristwatch, movement information of the wristwatch, and health relating information of a user of the wristwatch. The display control unit may have a function of controlling display on each of five display units based on at least one information detected by the detection unit. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a wristwatch having a new value not obtained by the prior art.
