Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates the external power supply and charging components from the wheel display device, replacing them with a self-powered generation system that converts wheel rotation directly into electrical energy, thereby simplifying the overall structure while maintaining continuous operation capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The device generates its own power through the self-powered unit that converts mechanical energy from wheel rotation into electrical energy, making the system self-sufficient and eliminating the need for external power sources, charging ports, and battery management infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If display content is stored internally, then device is self-contained, but replacement of display content becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay content flexibilityVSAvoidcontent replacement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control circuit board is designed with universal communication interfaces that can receive and process various types of display content through wireless transmission, enabling the device to function with multiple content sources without requiring physical content storage or complex replacement mechanisms

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces physical content storage and mechanical content replacement with wireless digital transmission, allowing content to be updated remotely and instantly without physical access to the device or complex internal storage management

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

3Reliability

If motion state parameters are not acquired in real time, then device structure is simpler, but display stability and clarity deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
