Multi-view Display Personalized Content Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The use of mobile devices for accessing personalized content in public spaces restricts users' experience to a small screen, leading to isolation and potential safety risks, as users tend to focus on the device rather than their surroundings, making it hazardous in environments like busy intersections.
Innovation Solution
A differentiated content delivery system utilizing multi-view displays that detects and characterizes viewers to provide unique, personalized content based on their location and characteristics, using sensors and software to generate and present content tailored to each viewer's perspective.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If personalized content is delivered via mobile devices, then users can access customized information, but users become isolated and distracted from their surroundings
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a multi-view display system as an intermediary between content delivery and the user. Instead of delivering content directly to individual mobile devices, the system projects different content to different viewing zones of a shared display, allowing personalized information delivery while maintaining social connection and environmental awareness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates multiple virtual copies of content tailored to different viewers and projects them simultaneously to different spatial zones of the same physical display. This allows each user to receive personalized content (effectively a copy customized for them) without needing individual devices, thus reducing isolation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If mobile devices are used for accessing information, then personalized content can be delivered, but the interaction becomes cognitively demanding and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting viewer presence, identifying individuals, and preparing personalized content before the users even approach the display. This eliminates the need for users to manually search, log in, or navigate menus, as their personalized content is already ready and waiting in their specific viewing zone.
Solution Approach 2:
The multi-view display system provides self-service functionality by automatically detecting users, identifying them through various methods (face recognition, mobile device detection, etc.), and delivering their personalized content without requiring any manual input from the users. The system serves itself by managing the entire content delivery process autonomously.
3Loss of information
If mobile devices monopolize visual attention, then personalized information can be accessed, but safety risks increase in public spaces
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional mobile device screens to a multi-dimensional spatial display system. By utilizing different spatial zones and viewing angles of a large display, the system delivers personalized content in three-dimensional space, allowing users to access information peripherally without focusing their attention away from their surroundings.
