Solution Overview

Problem

Existing smart city communication devices require a kiosk and screen to operate together, limiting independent operation and flexibility in placement.

Innovation Solution

A standalone electronic smart screen with integrated LED display, speed radar, Wi-Fi, emergency light, emergency siren, safety camera, and speakers, designed for outdoor use and attachment to various surfaces, providing a range of services and information to citizens.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a kiosk and screen operate together as a unified system, then the system provides comprehensive services, but the device loses independent operation capability and placement flexibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplacement flexibilityVSAvoidsystem integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the previously unified kiosk-screen system into separate independent components. The screen can now function autonomously without requiring the kiosk structure, allowing flexible placement on various surfaces while maintaining comprehensive service capabilities through integrated components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The screen is designed as a universal device that can be attached to different surfaces and locations independently. It integrates multiple functions (display, radar, Wi-Fi, emergency lights, siren, camera, speakers) within a single versatile unit that adapts to various deployment scenarios without requiring the original kiosk structure.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple services are integrated into a single screen device, then citizen communication and quality of life improve, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice integrationVSAvoidcomponent integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple previously separate services (LED display, speed radar, Wi-Fi emitter, emergency lights, siren, safety camera, speakers) into a single integrated smart screen device. This merging enables comprehensive citizen services while the screen maintains independent operation capability, resolving the complexity issue through unified design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
