Smartwatch Display Interface for Event Visual Pollution Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The use of electronic devices such as computers, video cameras, and photo devices during visual and/or sound entertainment events like concerts or sporting events often results in visual pollution, disrupting the smooth experience of the event.
Innovation Solution
A process utilizing connected watch screens to form a display interface, where each screen displays a portion of a visual message synchronized with the event, optimizing diffusion characteristics like location and orientation to ensure effective visual contribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If electronic devices (smartphones, video cameras, cameras) are used to capture moments during visual and/or sound events, then users can record and share event memories, but visual pollution is generated that disrupts the smooth running of the event
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual watch screens into a unified display interface that collectively contributes to the visual show. Instead of individual devices creating separate visual disturbances, their screens are coordinated to form a harmonious collective display that enhances rather than disrupts the event experience
Solution Approach 2:
The connected watches serve dual functions: they maintain their primary role as personal timekeeping and notification devices while simultaneously functioning as coordinated display elements of the collective interface, contributing to the visual show without requiring dedicated event equipment
2Object-generated harmful factors
If connected watch screens are used to display portions of visual messages, then visual pollution is reduced and the event experience is enhanced, but the system complexity increases due to coordination requirements
Solution Approach 1:
Each connected watch autonomously determines its own contribution to the collective display interface based on its spatial position and characteristics. The watches self-configure their display parameters without requiring centralized micromanagement, reducing the overall system complexity while maintaining coordinated functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts display parameters (such as brightness, content, and timing) of individual watch screens based on their spatial characteristics and the overall event context, allowing flexible adaptation to different event types and environmental conditions without requiring complete system reconfiguration

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for managing a display interface which is formed by a plurality of display screens (3) of smart watches (1) which are worn on parts of the body of the users, which parts are likely to be moving or are moving, the watches (1) being located near each other, the method comprising the following steps: • estimating (10) at least one broadcast characteristic of each display screen (3) in the display interface which they form together, and • managing the display (15) of a visual message on the display interface, this step comprising a sub-step (18) of generating portions of the visual message in accordance with measurement data relating to at least one broadcast characteristic, each portion being intended to be displayed on the screen (3) of each smart watch (1); • broadcasting (19) the portions of the message on each screen (3) which constitutes this display interface.
