Variable Transparency Display for Attention Drawing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display windows lack interaction capabilities and responsiveness to humans, resulting in low efficiency in drawing attention.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a first display unit of variable transparency that senses objects and adjusts its transparency accordingly, while playing content on both the first and second display units to provide interactions and highlight items.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a transparent glass wall is used for display window, then visibility of displayed items is improved, but interaction capability with humans deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display window's transparency is made dynamic through variable transparency control. The window can switch between transparent and opaque states based on detected human presence, allowing it to adapt its optical properties in response to environmental conditions and user interaction needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The optical parameter (transparency) of the display window is changed based on detected conditions. When a human is detected, the transparency parameter switches from transparent to opaque state, enabling the window to provide different functional states for visibility and interaction purposes.
2Device complexity
If display window remains static without response, then structural simplicity is maintained, but efficiency in drawing attention deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display window system incorporates feedback through human detection capability. The window detects human presence and responds by changing its transparency state, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to user presence and provides interactive engagement to draw attention effectively.
Solution Approach 2:
The display window automatically detects human presence and adjusts its own transparency state without external control. The system serves itself by autonomously responding to environmental stimuli (human presence) and making decisions about its operational state.
