Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current showcase systems lack an effective method to display information about products in a manner that enhances advertisement and user interaction, particularly when using transparent display panels.
Innovation Solution
A method for operating a showcase system with a transparent display panel that recognizes products, receives touch input, and maps information to display images associated with the products, allowing improved product advertisement through exhibition and user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a transparent display panel is installed on the front face of a showcase, then product information display capability is improved, but the transparency and visibility of the product itself may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel transitions between transparent and opaque states dynamically. When product information needs to be displayed, the panel becomes opaque to block light and show content. When product visibility is needed, the panel becomes transparent, allowing light to pass through and showcase the products inside.
Solution Approach 2:
The display panel changes its optical properties from transparent to opaque, effectively changing its 'color' or light transmission characteristics. This allows the same panel to serve dual purposes: displaying information when opaque and allowing product visibility when transparent.
2Ease of operation
If a terminal with keyboard and display is placed in front of the showcase, then user interaction capability is improved, but the overall device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device is merged with the showcase structure itself. The keyboard and display are integrated into the showcase framework, and the display panel is incorporated into the front glass assembly. This integration reduces the need for separate standalone components while maintaining full interaction functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The display panel serves multiple functions: it acts as the front glass of the showcase, provides product information display, and enables user interaction through touch input. The terminal device similarly serves as both an interface for user interaction and as part of the showcase's control system, reducing overall system complexity through multi-functionality.
