Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for managing and arranging signs at different locations, such as table cards and house number plates, are labor-intensive and inefficient, requiring manual operations and low accuracy in establishing correspondences between locations and signs.

Innovation Solution

A page presentation method that uses virtual objects to identify electronic signs, allowing users to bind sign content to these signs through intuitive input operations like clicking, dragging, voice commands, or eye gaze, with binding modes including manual, random, and role-based options, and supports grouping and exchanging sign contents.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual arrangement methods are used to bind signs to locations, then the system can establish correspondences between signs and locations, but the labor cost is high and the efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesign arrangement efficiencyVSAvoidtime for manual arrangement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses virtual objects as digital copies representing physical electronic signs. These virtual objects can be manipulated on a computer interface, allowing automated binding operations without physical handling of actual signs. The system creates and manages digital representations that mirror the physical sign arrangement, enabling efficient automated correspondence establishment between signs and locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical arrangement operations with automated computer-based binding operations. Instead of physically moving and arranging signs by hand, the system uses software to automatically bind sign content to electronic signs through virtual object manipulation, substituting mechanical manual labor with automated computational processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If manual arrangement methods are used to bind signs to locations, then the system can establish correspondences between signs and locations, but the accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding accuracyVSAvoidoperational simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By using virtual objects as digital representations, the system achieves precise tracking and binding of sign content to specific electronic signs. The virtual objects maintain exact correspondence with their physical counterparts, enabling accurate automated binding operations that eliminate human error in matching signs to locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If automated binding methods are used, then the efficiency and accuracy of sign arrangement is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesign arrangement efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides multiple binding modes (manual binding, random binding, and role-based binding) within a single automated framework. This multi-functional approach allows the system to handle various sign arrangement scenarios using unified automated processes, managing complexity through versatile design rather than multiple separate systems.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a computer interface with virtual objects as an intermediary layer between the user and the physical electronic signs. This intermediary enables automated binding operations while shielding users from system complexity, as they interact with simple visual representations rather than complex underlying processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
