Solution Overview

Problem

Existing intelligent desktop devices are limited to single, stationary desktop displays, making them unsuitable for multi-person operations and unable to adapt to different application scenarios.

Innovation Solution

An integral intelligent desktop device combining a desktop display with a projection display, featuring a moveable and rotatable multi-touch liquid crystal display unit with a built-in projection unit, allowing flexible display positions and enhanced functionality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a stationary desktop display is used, then the device structure is simple, but the adaptability to different application occasions is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different application occasionsVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display unit is made dynamically adjustable through guide rails and rollers, allowing it to move along the lateral sides of the desktop and rotate around a vertical axis. This transforms the fixed display into a dynamic one that can adapt to different viewing positions and application scenarios, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The display unit is designed to perform multiple functions: it can serve as a fixed desktop display, be moved to different positions for multi-person viewing, rotated for landscape/portrait orientation, and even function as a projection screen when rotated away from the horizontal position. This multi-functionality enhances adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed display position is used, then the device is easy to operate, but it cannot meet multi-person operation demands

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-person operation capabilityVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display unit can be dynamically repositioned along the guide rails and rotated to accommodate different numbers and positions of users. For multi-person operations, the display can be positioned centrally or angled appropriately, making the device adaptable to various operational scenarios while maintaining ease of use through smooth mechanical adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If a single desktop display form is used, then the device structure is simple, but the applicable range is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplicable rangeVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the desktop display function with projection display capability by integrating a projection unit that can project images onto the display unit when rotated to a vertical position. This combination allows a single device to serve both as a traditional desktop display and as a projection screen, greatly extending its applicable range without requiring separate devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The display unit is designed with dual functionality: it can operate as a standard horizontal desktop display for close viewing, or be rotated to serve as a vertical projection screen for larger-format displays. This universal design enables the same hardware to adapt to different application scenarios, from personal computing to presentations and entertainment.

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