Rotatable Display Orientation for User-Targeted Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices struggle to provide clear and intuitive information to users, as they often only provide input information without clearly indicating the target for interaction, requiring users to physically move to identify the relevant information, which can be difficult, especially if the device cannot be moved to face the user.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a rotation member that moves its display to face an identified external object, allowing it to display information related to that object, using sensors and input interfaces to control the display's movement and provide context-specific information through interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the electronic device provides only input information without indicating the interaction target, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates as users cannot clearly recognize the target to be interacted with
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies visual highlighting techniques where the display changes appearance (through color, brightness, or visual emphasis) to indicate the interaction target. This allows the device to maintain simple information structure while enabling users to clearly identify which element they should interact with, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and usability.
2Measurement precision
If the user moves to check the displayed information, then the information recognition precision is improved, but the loss of time increases due to physical movement requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces visual indicators and highlighting mechanisms as intermediaries between the displayed information and the user's perception. These visual cues act as mediators that guide the user's attention directly to relevant information without requiring physical movement, thus maintaining recognition precision while eliminating time loss.
3Device complexity
If the display remains stationary, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability deteriorates as the display cannot face different external objects or users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a rotatable display mechanism that allows the display to dynamically change its orientation based on the detected external object or user position. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the display to adapt to different interaction scenarios while maintaining a relatively simple overall device structure, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and functional adaptability.
