Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional large electronic displays for advertising are cumbersome, costly, and inaccessible to small advertisers, lacking the ability to customize content based on specific conditions or locations, and existing solutions do not effectively cater to smaller, more affordable scales or real-time environmental inputs.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for projected display of visual content that includes receiving visual and audio content items with trigger conditions, using a processing device to determine display conditions, and wirelessly transmitting audio content to mobile devices for synchronized emission, allowing for customizable and accessible distribution of media.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If large electronic displays are used for advertising, then the ability to reach a large number of people and catch their eyes is improved, but the cost, complexity of setup, and accessibility to small advertisers worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidsetup complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses projection technology to create a virtual large-scale display by projecting images onto external surfaces (walls, buildings, etc.) rather than using physical large electronic displays. This copying approach allows the system to achieve large display areas without the complexity of deploying and configuring actual large electronic display hardware, making the solution accessible to small advertisers while maintaining the ability to reach large audiences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If traditional large electronic displays are deployed, then advertising reach is improved, but the time and resources required for installation and configuration increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising reachVSAvoidsetup time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By projecting advertising content onto existing environmental surfaces rather than deploying physical display hardware, the system eliminates the time-consuming processes of transporting, assembling, and configuring large electronic displays. The projection approach allows advertising content to be rapidly deployed and reconfigured by simply changing the projected images, significantly reducing setup time while maintaining advertising reach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Device complexity

If fixed advertisement content is displayed, then system simplicity is maintained, but the ability to adapt to specific conditions and locations worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidcontent adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic content selection system that automatically chooses and displays different advertising content based on real-time environmental conditions (weather, time of day, location) and contextual factors. The system uses sensors and data processing to dynamically adjust the projected advertising content without requiring complex manual reconfiguration, thereby maintaining system simplicity while significantly improving content adaptability to specific conditions and locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Adaptability or versatility

If projectors are mounted on vehicles for mobile advertising, then accessibility to different locations is improved, but the system remains limited to large advertisers and lacks customization for individual users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocation flexibilityVSAvoiduser accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal advertising platform that can serve multiple types of users (from small businesses to large advertisers) and multiple locations through a single system. The projection system is designed to be controlled via mobile devices with standardized interfaces, allowing any user to easily upload and manage their own advertising content. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate systems for different user types while maintaining location flexibility through mobile deployment capabilities.

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

AI summary

A method for the distribution of audio and visual media includes: receiving at least one visual content item to be displayed, and an audio content item and at least one trigger condition for each of the at least one visual content item; storing, in a database, the received at least one visual content item and corresponding audio content item and at least one trigger condition; identifying at least one display condition of a plurality of display conditions; identifying, in the database, a specific visual content item, wherein the at least one trigger condition corresponding to the specific visual content item is met based on the identified at least one display condition; displaying, by a light projection display device, the identified specific visual content item; and wirelessly transmitting the audio content item corresponding to the specific visual content item for audible emission by a mobile communication device.
