Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional multimedia interaction systems fail to ensure that multimedia interactions conform to normal user experiences, as they cannot determine the relative position of electronic devices, leading to unexpected interactions that violate design rules.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electronic devices are designed to transmit/receive signals to/from various directions for better signal transmission quality, then signal transmission ability is improved, but unexpected interactions occur that violate design rules
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of spatial locations and orientations before executing multimedia interaction operations. The location detection circuit detects the relative positions of electronic devices in advance, and the control circuit determines whether the receiving device is in a valid direction before allowing signal transmission, preventing unexpected interactions before they occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a location detection circuit and control circuit as intermediary components between the signal transmission system and the external environment. These intermediaries detect spatial information and filter interactions based on predetermined conditions, mediating between the need for versatile signal transmission and the requirement for reliable interaction behavior.
2Reliability
If the receiving-end electronic device is restricted to a specific direction for multimedia interactions, then interaction behavior reliability is improved, but signal transmission range is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the effective transmission range based on the spatial locations and orientations of devices. Rather than using a fixed directional restriction, the control circuit continuously monitors relative positions and determines validity in real-time, allowing the system to adapt to different spatial configurations while maintaining interaction reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of direction validation from a static restriction to a dynamic condition based on detected spatial parameters. The control circuit uses location data to determine whether the receiving device falls within the valid direction range, allowing flexible adjustment of transmission constraints based on actual device positions and orientations.
3Measurement precision
If location detection is implemented to determine relative positions, then interaction accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The location detection circuit is designed to serve multiple functions: detecting spatial locations, determining orientations, and providing data for interaction validation. By making this component multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function, thereby limiting the increase in overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the location detection functionality with the existing communication system architecture. The location detection circuit, control circuit, and signal transmission components are integrated into a unified system where location information is used directly for interaction control, merging detection and control functions rather than treating them as separate complex subsystems.

AI summary
A multimedia interaction system is disclosed, including: a plurality of member electronic devices; a plurality of displays respectively arranged on the member electronic devices; and a location detection circuit configured to operably detect respective member electronic device's spatial location and orientation dynamically and to transmit detection results to at least one of the member electronic devices. When an user instructs a source electronic device of the member electronic devices to transmit a target image object toward a target direct, the source electronic device transmits a target command corresponding to the target image object to a candidate electronic device of the member electronic devices to perform corresponding multimedia interaction operations only if a relative position between the candidate electronic and the target direct satisfies a predetermined condition.
