Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display apparatuses lack dynamic and engaging interactive screen configurations that effectively utilize touch inputs, failing to provide user satisfaction due to standardized input methods.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus and method that detect touch manipulations, such as flicks and drags, and change the display status based on physical attributes like intensity, momentum, and velocity, allowing for dynamic interactions like area expansion, reduction, and shape adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If standardized touch input methods are used, then device operation is simple and reliable, but user satisfaction and engagement are low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch input simplicityVSAvoidinteractive screen configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the screen configuration changeable and adaptive based on touch input characteristics. The display apparatus dynamically adjusts screen parameters such as brightness, contrast, and content arrangement according to the intensity, duration, and pattern of user touches, transforming a static interface into a dynamic one that responds to user behavior.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by modifying display parameters (brightness, contrast, refresh rate, content layout) based on detected touch characteristics. When touch intensity or duration exceeds certain thresholds, the system changes display parameters to provide enhanced feedback and interaction, allowing the same hardware to deliver varied interactive experiences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic interactive configurations are implemented, then user engagement and satisfaction improve, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive screen configurationVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by using a single touch sensor and display device to perform multiple functions. The same touch input mechanism detects both basic navigation commands and complex interaction patterns, while the display serves both as information output and as the interaction surface itself, eliminating the need for separate sensors or actuators.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies self-service by automatically analyzing touch patterns and adjusting display parameters without requiring explicit user commands or complex processing. The display apparatus autonomously determines when to change configuration based on predefined touch characteristics, reducing the need for elaborate control algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If touch manipulation detection is enhanced, then interaction precision improves, but processing time and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch manipulation detectionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selectively processing touch inputs based on their characteristics. Not all touches trigger full analysis and parameter changes; instead, the system processes only those touches that meet certain criteria (e.g., sustained pressure, specific patterns), reducing overall processing load while maintaining precision for meaningful interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
