Wall element device and system for visual information display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wall element devices do not allow users to interact directly with displayed electronic information, requiring separate means for further research or transactions, limiting their functionality in applications like sanitary environments where interest in products needs to be addressed promptly.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating detector means behind the wall panel to enable product-related interactions, allowing users to confirm object detection with a signal that triggers further information or purchase transactions on the flat screen, combined with high-frequency technologies for wireless communication and audio output, enabling seamless interaction and transaction processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If detector means are integrated behind the wall panel to enable direct interaction, then user interaction capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the detector means with the wall panel structure, integrating sensing capabilities directly into the existing wall element device. This allows the wall panel to serve dual purposes: maintaining its structural/decorative function while simultaneously providing detection and interaction capabilities, thereby improving user interaction without proportionally increasing overall device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The wall panel is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as a structural element, a display surface, and now also as an integrated detection system. The detector means enable the wall panel to detect objects and user interactions, making it a multi-functional device that combines display, detection, and interaction capabilities in a single integrated system
2Device complexity
If separate communication devices are required for product research and transactions, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the communication and transaction capabilities directly with the wall panel system. The detector means are integrated with the control means and display unit, creating a unified system that handles detection, information display, and transaction processing within the same device, eliminating the need for separate communication devices and reducing time loss
Solution Approach 2:
The control means serve as an intermediary between the detector means and the display/transaction system. When the detector detects an object or user interaction, the control means process this information and coordinate the appropriate response through the display unit or transaction interface, enabling seamless integration of detection and communication functions within the wall panel system

AI summary
The invention relates to a wall element device with at least one display area for a screen (2) and a wall panel (1) forming a glass outer surface on the user side, which can be mirrored, painted over the whole or part of the surface, backed, etched, sandblasted, printed and/or vaporized, in particular on the back opposite the outer surface, with a mirror coating and/or a decorative surface pattern (1a), the display area being implemented as at least one section (2a) in the mirror coating or the surface pattern, with a flat screen (2nd ) is assigned for electronic image display through the glass outer surface, with detector means (4) being assigned on the rear side adjacent to the cutout, which are designed to record a pattern image and/or HF resonance signal of an object that is preferably held next to the cutout without contact, and the flat screen (2) associated ele Electronic control means (3) interact with the detector means (4) in such a way that, in response to a detection of a predetermined pattern image and/or resonance signal, the control means (3) cause the generation of an actuation and/or acknowledgment signal acting through the wall panel (1). .
