Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional paper identity registration cards are inconvenient to reuse and contribute to pollution and waste due to their single-use nature.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus with a display module and a communication module that obtains environmental information, determines a matching communication mode, and receives target information from a server to display relevant content, thereby enabling reuse and reducing waste.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If paper identity registration cards are used, then information can be displayed clearly, but the cards cannot be reused and cause pollution and waste

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereusabilityVSAvoidpollution and waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces physical paper cards with a digital display apparatus that shows identity information. The display apparatus acts as a reusable copy of the traditional card, eliminating the need for physical cards while maintaining information display functionality. This resolves the contradiction by enabling reuse (improving adaptability) while eliminating paper waste (reducing harmful factors).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent substitutes the mechanical paper card system with an electronic display system. Instead of using physical paper that must be printed and disposed of, the system uses a display apparatus with communication modules to receive and show identity information digitally. This substitution enables reuse and eliminates the pollution associated with paper production and disposal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple communication modes are supported, then adaptability to different environments is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental adaptabilityVSAvoidcommunication module complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display apparatus incorporates multiple communication modes (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, mobile data) within a single device, allowing it to function universally across different environmental conditions. The system can automatically select the appropriate communication mode based on availability, making the device multi-functional without requiring separate devices for each communication scenario.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The communication module dynamically selects and switches between different communication modes based on environmental conditions and availability. Rather than statically configuring one mode, the system adapts its communication method in real-time, optimizing performance while managing complexity through intelligent decision-making algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Information configuration method for display apparatus, and display apparatus are provided. The display apparatus includes display and communication modules, and the information configuration method for the display apparatus includes: obtaining environmental information where the display apparatus is located; determining, by the communication module, a communication mode matching with the environment information, receiving target information sent by a server; and displaying, by the display module, target content corresponding to the target information. According to the display apparatus, information required to be displayed can be display by the display module, and by displaying different information, the display apparatus can be reused, thereby reducing waste. In addition, information is sent to the display apparatus in different communication modes according to the environment information of the display apparatus, which can improve the timeliness and convenience of updating information in the display apparatus and improve use experiences.
