Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle display systems do not effectively adapt their screen layout and content presentation based on the vehicle's operational state, such as movement, navigation services, and user interactions, leading to suboptimal user experience and information accessibility.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle display device with a controller that dynamically adjusts the screen layout by moving and scaling regions in response to the vehicle's movement, operational state, and user inputs, allowing for context-aware content presentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display device is fixed in position, then the structure is simple and stable, but the user experience and information accessibility do not adapt to different vehicle operational states

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to vehicle operational stateVSAvoiddisplay device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display device is designed to move between different positions (upward and downward movement) based on vehicle operational states such as driving mode, navigation service status, and gear position. The controller dynamically adjusts the display position to provide context-aware information presentation, transforming a static display into a dynamic adaptive interface that responds to changing operational conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the screen layout is fixed, then the system is stable and simple to control, but the information accessibility and user experience are suboptimal for different operational contexts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidscreen layout control
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The screen is divided into multiple regions (first region, second region, third region) that can be dynamically adjusted in size and position. The controller changes the layout configuration based on operational state, such as expanding the navigation region when navigation service is active or adjusting the media control region based on gear position, making the interface adaptive rather than fixed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The display screen is segmented into multiple functional regions that can be independently controlled and resized. This segmentation allows different parts of the screen to serve different purposes based on operational context, such as having a dedicated navigation region, media control region, and vehicle information region, with each region's visibility and size adjusted according to current operational state

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If the display device does not move, then the mechanical structure is simpler, but the context-aware content presentation cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontext-aware content presentationVSAvoiddisplay device movement mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display device incorporates a movement mechanism that allows it to transition between different positions (such as upward and downward movement) in response to operational state changes. This dynamic positioning capability enables the system to present context-aware content by adjusting the display position to optimize visibility and accessibility for different driving scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The controller receives feedback signals from various vehicle systems (navigation service status, gear position, media playback state) and uses this feedback to automatically adjust the display device position and screen layout. This closed-loop control ensures the display configuration always matches the current operational context without requiring manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
