Touch Panel With Fluid Holder And Projector For Dynamic Game Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing game machines lack the ability to capture players' attention effectively, as they primarily rely on static liquid-crystal displays for operations, which are not engaging enough.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a touch panel with a fluid holder and a second display unit below it, allowing for image display and fluid flow effects, along with light-emitting elements and a control system to manage these elements, creating dynamic visual and interactive experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a static liquid-crystal display is used for game operations, then the device complexity is reduced, but the player's attention and engagement are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple display technologies (liquid-crystal display, projector, and fluid display) into a single operating apparatus. The liquid-crystal display provides basic information, the projector adds dynamic visual effects, and the fluid display creates captivating flow patterns, thereby enhancing player engagement without requiring entirely separate systems
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic elements to the display system by enabling the liquid-crystal display to switch between transparent and projecting states, adding projected images for dramatic effects, and incorporating flowing fluid patterns. These dynamic changes transform the static display into an engaging, adaptive interface that captures player attention
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display units and fluid holders are added to create dynamic effects, then player attention is captured, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent arranges display components in a nested configuration where the liquid-crystal display, projector, and fluid holder are stacked vertically in an integrated assembly. This nested structure allows multiple functional units to occupy compact space while maintaining their individual capabilities, reducing overall device complexity despite enhanced visual effects
Solution Approach 2:
The operating apparatus is designed as a multi-functional integrated unit where the liquid-crystal display serves both as a transparent information display and as a projection screen, the fluid holder provides both aesthetic flow effects and structural support, and the projector delivers both dramatic imagery and additional information display, thereby reducing the need for separate dedicated components
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The combination of image displays and fluid flow effects, such as ripples or bubbles, significantly enhances player engagement by providing a more captivating and interactive experience.
Implementation Method 1
the first display unit be configured to switch between a transparent state and a projecting state, the projecting state being a state where an image can be projected onto the first display unit
Implementation Method 2
a fluid holder arranged below the first display unit, the fluid holder holding a transparent fluid
Implementation Method 3
a light-emitting element board arranged between the fluid holder and the second display unit, a plurality of light-emitting elements being mounted on the light-emitting element board
