Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for display control methods that enhance user experience by allowing for flexible form factors and rotation-based image control in multimedia devices, particularly in TVs and other video/audio output devices, to accommodate changing user preferences and mobility.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus and method that includes a transceiver, a touch screen display, a speaker, and a controller to detect control commands and display turntable-themed videos, where the image of a tonearm moves based on audio playback commands, providing visual and auditory engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a flexible display is used to enable rotation and flexible form factors, then adaptability and ease of operation are improved, but manufacturing precision and reliability deteriorate due to the complexity of handling flexible materials during production

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay rotation capabilityVSAvoidassembly precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The display device is designed with rotatable and flexible display capabilities, allowing the screen to dynamically change orientation and form factor. This enables the same device to adapt to different usage scenarios (horizontal/vertical viewing, portable/cfixed installation) without requiring multiple dedicated devices, thereby resolving the contradiction between manufacturing complexity and functional versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Illumination intensity

If image processing is performed during display rotation to maintain image quality, then visual satisfaction is improved, but processing time and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and stores images in multiple orientations (horizontal, vertical, and intermediate angles) before rotation is needed. When the display rotates, the controller can immediately retrieve and display the pre-processed image in the correct orientation without performing real-time processing, thus maintaining image quality while minimizing processing time and energy consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
