Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video display systems fail to provide a sense of immersion and presence to users unless they consciously move, leading to a loss of immersion when objects do not appear without user action.

Innovation Solution

An image display system that includes a sound emission device to emit specific sounds, a display device to change display modes, and a control device to detect user behavior changes, triggering video and sound mode alterations based on user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the video changes only when the user consciously moves, then the system maintains simple control logic, but the sense of immersion and presence is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontrol logic simplicityVSAvoidsense of immersion

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically adjusting video content based on detected user behavior patterns before the user consciously interacts. The sensor continuously monitors user state, and the control device proactively changes video content when specific behaviors are detected, eliminating the need to wait for conscious user input while maintaining simple control logic.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously detecting user behavior through sensors and using this information to automatically adjust video content. The control device receives feedback from sensor output about user state changes and responds by changing display content, creating a closed-loop system that enhances immersion while keeping control logic straightforward.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the system automatically changes video content based on user behavior, then the sense of immersion is enhanced, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesense of immersionVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control device serves as an intermediary that simplifies the interaction between complex sensor systems and display systems. It receives raw sensor data, processes behavior detection logic, and generates appropriate video content changes, thereby managing system complexity while enabling automatic immersion-enhancing features.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting user behavior and adjusting video content without requiring complex external control interfaces. The sensor and control device work together to autonomously monitor user state and make content adjustments, reducing the need for complex user interaction design while enhancing immersion.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A sound emission device that emits a sound, display devices that display a display image, and a control device that determines whether a state of a user viewing the displayed display image has changed from a first state to a second state different from the first state based on output from a sensor that detects the user are provided, and when the control device determines that the state has changed to the second state, the display devices change a display mode of the display image from a first display mode to a second display mode different from the first display mode.
