Transponder-Based Dynamic Display Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process of interacting with various services and content remains cumbersome due to the need for manual and repetitive input of information, especially with the increasing variety of services available over electronic communication networks and traditional media.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing dynamically reconfigurable displays with transponders that associate specific areas of the display with corresponding transponders, allowing users to interact with services and content by detecting signals from these transponders using a mobile device, thereby reducing the need for manual input and enabling intuitive and convenient access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually input information to interact with services, then service access is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates due to repetitive and cumbersome input processes
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting transponders and pre-fetching or pre-configuring service interaction parameters before the user actually requests the service. This eliminates the need for users to manually input information during the service interaction process, as the system has already prepared the necessary data and configurations in advance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically detecting transponders and initiating service interactions without requiring manual user input. The transponder detection system automatically identifies services, retrieves relevant information, and configures interactions, allowing the system to serve itself and the user without human intervention in the data input process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple services and content are made available, then service variety increases, but interaction complexity increases due to the need to manage multiple access methods
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal transponder-based interaction mechanism that works across multiple services and content types. Instead of requiring different interaction methods for different services, a single transponder detection and recognition system handles diverse services uniformly, simplifying the user interface while maintaining service variety.
Solution Approach 2:
The transponder acts as an intermediary between the user and the diverse services. Rather than requiring users to directly interact with complex service interfaces, the transponder mediates by encoding service information and enabling automatic recognition and access, thereby simplifying the interaction path to a single intuitive action.

AI summary
An approach is provided for user interaction via transponders (103a-103n) (e.g. near field communication (NFC) tag, radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, or contactless card) disposed on a dynamically reconfigurable display. Each transponder (103a-103n) corresponds to an area of the display (101) that is associated with one or more actions. The actions are dynamically updated based at least in part on the content presented on the respective area of the display (101). A user equipment (111) containing a transponder reader (115) detects a signal from one of the transponders (103a-103n) to trigger the corresponding action.
