Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle display systems do not effectively utilize travel time to enhance passengers' understanding of the destination by only displaying content related to the destination, lacking context and background information.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle display device that displays videos associated with the destination's content, such as videos about the location where the content was created, the creator's birthplace, or locations referenced, enhancing passengers' understanding and enjoyment by providing thematic and contextual information during the journey.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If only content shown in the destination is displayed, then the display is simple and direct, but passengers' understanding of the destination remains superficial

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontextual information about destinationVSAvoidvideo selection and display system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by selecting and displaying related videos before the vehicle arrives at the destination. The video selection unit identifies and prepares relevant content (such as videos about the location where content was created, creator's birthplace, or referenced locations) to be displayed during the travel time, so that passengers receive contextual information in advance rather than just at the destination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If travel time is used for displaying unrelated content, then passengers may be entertained, but the educational value about the destination is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedestination-related informationVSAvoidtravel time utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The video display system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it entertains passengers through engaging video content while also educating them about the destination through carefully selected related videos. The video selection unit ensures that the displayed content is both interesting to passengers and informative about the destination, making the travel time productive for both entertainment and education purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Loss of information

If multiple types of related videos are displayed, then passengers' understanding of the destination is deepened, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive destination understandingVSAvoidvideo selection and management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video selection unit automatically performs the complex task of selecting appropriate related videos based on the destination information, without requiring manual intervention. The system self-manages the video selection process by identifying relevant content (such as videos about creation locations, creator backgrounds, or referenced places) and displaying them in an organized manner, thereby reducing the operational complexity for users while providing comprehensive destination information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A vehicle display device that is mounted on a vehicle moving toward a destination does not display a content shown in the destination but displays a video related to the content and a video other than a video provided in the destination.
