Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital display devices are cumbersome, inflexible, and lack the ability to easily change displayed content like digital art or interact with users, and there is no integrated system for managing and controlling digital content on a thin, elegant display.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a lightweight, thin display device with modular components, wireless connectivity, and a cloud-based management system that allows users to easily manage and interact with digital content, including digital art, posters, and social media, through a user interface on a remote device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If traditional televisions and computer monitors are used for displaying digital content, then the display functionality is provided, but the devices are heavy, cumbersome, thick, and difficult to install
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the heavy components (power supply, processor, controls) from the display device itself and places them in external units. The display device becomes a thin, lightweight panel that hangs on walls, while the external units handle all the complex functions through wireless connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is divided into separate functional modules: a thin display device for visual output, external power supply units, and remote control units. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, resulting in a thin display that doesn't need to contain all the heavy stuff.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional display devices are used, then digital content can be displayed, but they have fixed orientations and lack flexibility in interaction
Solution Approach 1:
The display device can dynamically change its orientation between horizontal and vertical modes through a simple button press or remote control signal. The system adapts its display orientation based on the content being shown, allowing the same physical device to serve multiple viewing purposes.
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional display devices are used, then content can be displayed, but they require direct connection to high voltage power making installation difficult and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
An external power supply unit acts as an intermediary between the wall outlet and the thin display device. This external unit handles all the complex power conversion and distribution, allowing the display device itself to remain simple and thin without requiring direct high-voltage connections.
4Ease of operation
If traditional display devices are used, then digital content is displayed, but they include controls and buttons that make them less elegant and unobtrusive
Solution Approach 1:
The controls and buttons are extracted from the display device and placed in a separate remote control unit. The display device itself has a clean, frameless design with no visible controls, while the remote control unit provides all necessary functionality from a distance.
Solution Approach 2:
Physical buttons and controls on the display device are replaced with a wireless control system using infrared or radio frequency signals from a remote control unit. This substitution eliminates the need for mechanical buttons while maintaining full control functionality.
