Electronic Device Posture Correction via Camera and Display Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods and apparatuses fail to provide effective posture correction for users, particularly children, while they watch content on electronic devices, as they do not adequately detect and respond to incorrect postures in real-time.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a camera to capture images of the user, a controller to assess the user's posture based on the image, and a display to provide corrective content, such as distorted multimedia or notifications, when the posture is deemed unacceptable, ensuring the user maintains a correct posture during content consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If real-time posture monitoring and correction are implemented, then user health protection is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device integrates multiple functions including camera for image capture, controller for posture analysis, and display for feedback provision, allowing a single device to perform both content delivery and health monitoring functions
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically captures images, analyzes posture, determines acceptability, and provides correction content without requiring manual intervention from users or operators
2Reliability
If posture correction content is provided during content consumption, then user posture improvement is improved, but content reproduction quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple regions, with one region showing the original content and another region showing the posture correction content, allowing both types of content to be displayed simultaneously without interfering with each other's quality
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides posture correction content only when the user's posture is determined to be unacceptable, rather than continuously, thus maintaining content reproduction quality while providing necessary corrections

AI summary
An electronic device includes a display; a communication interface; a camera; and a controller configured to control the display to display content; control the camera to capture an image of a user who watches the electronic device while displaying the content; control to obtain information regarding a posture of the user based on the captured image; control to determine whether the posture of the user is acceptable based on the obtained information regarding the posture of the user; and based on determining that the posture of the user is not acceptable, control the communication interface to transmit the captured image of the user to another device.
