Viewer Distance-Based Display Setting Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing home-theater systems fail to dynamically adjust display settings based on the actual viewing environment and user distance, leading to suboptimal content presentation.
Innovation Solution
A system that determines the distance between a user and a display device, identifies the user, and adjusts display settings accordingly, utilizing a viewing profile to customize the display based on this distance, with the option to update the profile based on user modifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If display settings are fixed for all users, then device complexity is reduced, but content presentation quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display settings that automatically adjust based on detected user distance from the display device. The system transitions from fixed, static display parameters to dynamic parameters that change in real-time according to viewing conditions, resolving the contradiction by maintaining simplicity while improving presentation quality through automated adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-adjustment of display settings by automatically detecting user position and selecting appropriate display parameters without requiring manual user intervention or complex configuration interfaces. This self-service mechanism maintains device simplicity while achieving optimized content presentation for each viewing scenario.
2Manufacturing precision
If display settings are manually adjusted for each user, then content presentation quality improves, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display system automatically detects user presence and distance, then self-adjusts display settings without requiring manual user input. This eliminates the need for users to manually configure display parameters while maintaining optimized presentation quality, directly resolving the contradiction between quality and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where display settings are continuously adjusted based on real-time detection of user viewing distance. This automated feedback mechanism ensures optimal content presentation while completely eliminating manual adjustment requirements, resolving the contradiction in favor of both quality and ease of operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If viewing profiles are stored for multiple users, then adaptability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects and identifies users, then automatically retrieves and applies the appropriate viewing profile without requiring manual user selection or complex profile management interfaces. This self-service approach enables multi-user adaptability while maintaining simple operation and reducing perceived device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system implements a universal profile management mechanism that serves multiple users through a single automated system. The same hardware and software infrastructure handles profile storage, user identification, and automatic profile application, achieving multi-user adaptability without proportionally increasing device complexity.

AI summary
Systems and methods for dynamically adjusting display settings based on a distance between a user and a display device. A user who is viewing content that is being displayed on the display device is identified. A distance between the user and the display device is also determined. At least one display setting associated with the user is selected based on the determined distance. And the display of the content on the display device is automatically adjusted based on the selected display setting.
