Solution Overview

Problem

Existing projectors lack the ability to efficiently adjust projection directions and output content based on specific projection locations and purposes, leading to suboptimal image projection and user experience.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a projector, memory, and processor that can receive selection of projection information including a location and purpose, adjust the projector's direction, and output content accordingly, allowing for flexible and purpose-specific projection operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a projector outputs content without adjusting projection direction based on selected projection information, then the device complexity is reduced, but the manufacturing precision and projection accuracy deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprojection accuracyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-stores multiple projection information items in memory, each containing projection location and purpose data. Before actual projection, the processor selects appropriate projection information from the pre-stored list and adjusts the projection direction accordingly. This preliminary preparation of projection configurations resolves the contradiction by enabling accurate projection without requiring complex real-time calculation capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The projection direction is made dynamically adjustable based on selected projection information. The processor modifies the projection direction parameter according to the selected projection location and purpose, allowing the system to adapt to different projection scenarios. This dynamic adjustment mechanism achieves projection accuracy while maintaining relatively simple device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the projector cannot adjust projection direction based on projection location and purpose, then the ease of operation is improved, but the adaptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprojection adaptabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system stores multiple types of projection information in memory, each corresponding to different projection locations and purposes. The processor can select from this diverse list of pre-configured projection parameters, enabling the projector to adapt to various scenarios (different locations, different purposes) while the user simply needs to select from the list without dealing with complex adjustment procedures.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically adjusts projection direction based on the selected projection information without requiring manual intervention for direction adjustment. The processor handles the technical complexity of selecting and applying the appropriate projection parameters, making the system self-sufficient in handling projection configuration while maintaining ease of use for the end user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If projection direction is not adjusted based on selected projection information, then the productivity is maintained at simple levels, but the loss of time for setup and adjustment increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprojection setup efficiencyVSAvoidsetup time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple projection configurations are pre-stored in memory before actual use. When projection is needed, the system retrieves the appropriate pre-configured projection information and applies it automatically, eliminating the need for time-consuming setup and adjustment procedures. This preliminary preparation of projection parameters directly reduces setup time while maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system prepares projection direction settings in advance by storing multiple projection information items. This allows rapid deployment of projection systems for different locations and purposes without requiring time-consuming on-site adjustment, thereby reducing setup time and improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
