Solution Overview

Problem

Visual communication in exhibitions lacks richness and immersion, limiting the viewer's experience in understanding exhibited works.

Innovation Solution

A photo frame equipped with a display, voice acquisition, and processing modules that interact with viewers through voice recognition, enabling characters in portraits to respond and move in sync with viewer dialogue, using trained models for mouth and head actions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional visual presentation is used in exhibitions, then the display structure is simple, but the viewer experience lacks richness and immersion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer experience richnessVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functions into a single photo frame device: display module for visual output, voice acquisition module for audio input, processing module for AI processing, and voice output module for audio response. This integration enables the photo frame to provide both visual and auditory interactive experiences, resolving the contradiction between experience richness and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The photo frame autonomously processes viewer interactions through its integrated AI processing module, which automatically generates and outputs voice responses without requiring external control systems. The device serves itself by completing the entire interaction loop internally, enhancing viewer experience while maintaining manageable system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of information

If visual-only communication is used, then the system is simple, but the expression capability and viewer understanding are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation communication completenessVSAvoidcommunication system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The photo frame is designed with multi-functionality to handle both visual display and voice communication. The display module presents visual information while the voice acquisition and output modules enable auditory communication, creating a universal platform that loses minimal information by supporting multiple communication modalities simultaneously.

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

3Ease of operation

If interactive voice processing is added to the photo frame, then the viewer immersion improves, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer interaction easeVSAvoidprocessing module complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The photo frame implements a feedback loop where the voice acquisition module captures viewer input, the processing module analyzes it using AI, and the voice output module provides appropriate responses. This closed-loop feedback system creates natural, immersive interactions while the modular architecture keeps processing complexity manageable through organized functional separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a photo frame, and an exhibition method based on the photo frame. A frame body of the photo frame includes a display module, a voice acquisition module, and a processing module. After the photo frame is started, the voice acquisition module picks up voice information of a viewer; the processing module processes a character in a currently displayed portrait based on the voice information to make the character in the portrait interact with the viewer; and the display module displays the portrait in an interaction process. Through a voice technology, photos and paintings are endowed with a more vivid and immersive display experience. The photo frame can recognize displayed picture content and automatically generate corresponding voice description, allowing an audience to have a deeper understanding of a work through auditory and visual means.
