Electronic Device Content Display Based on Viewer Presence
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices cannot dynamically display content based on user interest, leading to reduced user experience due to manual operation requirements and inability to adapt to viewer presence.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a display, sensing, and processing unit that displays a first content and switches to a second content when input information indicates the presence of a viewer of interest, allowing dynamic content adjustment based on viewer interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is required to display content, then the device can display content, but user experience is reduced due to lack of automatic adaptation
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device automatically detects viewer presence through sensing devices (camera, proximity sensor) and autonomously determines and displays relevant content without requiring manual user input. The system serves itself by independently completing the content display task based on environmental detection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors viewer presence and characteristics through sensing devices, processes this feedback information, and dynamically adjusts content display accordingly. The feedback loop enables automatic adaptation to changing viewer conditions without manual intervention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If content is displayed based on preset time thresholds, then the device can display content automatically, but it cannot adapt to actual viewer presence and interest
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces time-based mechanical thresholds with sensor-based detection systems (camera, proximity sensors) that directly perceive viewer presence. This substitution enables the system to respond to actual physical conditions rather than arbitrary time parameters, achieving true adaptability to viewer context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the control parameter from fixed time thresholds to dynamic sensor-derived parameters (viewer distance, gaze direction, presence detection). This parameter transformation allows the display to adapt continuously to actual viewer conditions rather than following predetermined time schedules.
3Adaptability or versatility
If sensing devices are added to detect viewer presence, then the device can adapt to viewer presence, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes existing components (camera, proximity sensor, display) perform multiple functions. The camera serves both as a standard imaging device and as a viewer presence detector. The display serves both content presentation and as a component in the detection system, reducing the need for dedicated sensing hardware.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the sensing functions (viewer detection, presence detection) with existing processing units and display control. By combining multiple detection capabilities into a unified processing framework, the patent reduces overall system complexity while maintaining adaptability to viewer presence.

AI summary
A processing method includes displaying a first content, acquiring input information, and displaying a second content in response to the input information satisfying a condition. The input information satisfying the condition indicates presence of a viewer of interest.
