Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack the ability to dynamically adapt media content display based on the surrounding environment and user interaction, failing to provide a seamless integration of media content with external objects and user preferences.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a camera, communication circuitry, and a projection assembly that identifies external objects, obtains relevant media content applications, and controls projection to display content on a plane, allowing user interaction and transmission of execution signals to external devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the electronic device projects media content on a plane based on external object recognition, then the adaptability to environment and user preferences is improved, but the device complexity increases due to integration of camera, projection assembly, and communication circuitry

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to environment and user preferencesVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device integrates multiple functions including object recognition via camera, media content projection via projection assembly, and wireless communication via communication circuitry into a single device. This allows the device to adapt to different environments and user preferences by combining these functionalities, resolving the contradiction between adaptability improvement and device complexity increase through unified multi-functional design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If the electronic device transmits execution signals to external electronic devices, then the ease of operation is improved by allowing user interaction, but the loss of information increases due to communication transmission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidloss of information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device transmits execution signals to external electronic devices and receives feedback regarding the execution status of media content. This feedback mechanism allows the device to monitor and verify the transmitted signals, reducing information loss while maintaining ease of operation through user interaction with projected content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
