Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display screen is embedded at a fixed position in the wearable device, then the device structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the user cannot conveniently view information without manually rotating the device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the display region dynamically adjustable based on device orientation. Instead of a fixed display position, the system automatically determines and switches between different display regions (first display region, second display region, third display region) according to real-time angle detection from sensors. This allows the display to adapt to different wearing scenarios (wrist-worn, pocket, bag) without requiring manual rotation or complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms.
2Loss of time
If manual rotation of the wearable device is required to view information, then the device structure remains simple, but time is lost and user convenience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically detecting device orientation through sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer) and autonomously determining the appropriate display region without user intervention. The control unit continuously monitors sensor data, compares angles against predetermined ranges, and automatically switches display regions to ensure information is always presented in the optimal position regardless of how the device is worn or oriented.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display region is fixed, then the device is easier to manufacture with lower precision requirements, but the device cannot adapt to different working modes and orientations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the display region dynamically adjustable based on device orientation. Instead of a fixed display position, the system automatically determines and switches between different display regions (first display region, second display region, third display region) according to real-time angle detection from sensors. This allows the display to adapt to different wearing scenarios (wrist-worn, pocket, bag) without requiring manual rotation or complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring sensor data (acceleration, gravity, magnetic field) and using this information to automatically adjust the display region. The control unit receives real-time feedback from sensors about device orientation and orientation changes, then dynamically selects the appropriate display region to ensure optimal information presentation across various working modes and orientations.

AI summary
Provided are a display implementation method and apparatus, and a wearable device. In the method, a first angle and a second angle for determining a display region are acquired; and the display region for displaying information in correspondence to a current working mode is determined according to the obtained first angle and second angle. The method can correctly and automatically display information needing to be displayed in front of the eyes of a user without the need for the user to manually adjust the position of a watchband to find the displayed information. For example, every time the user raises the hand, visual information such as time information can be correctly displayed at a suitable position in front of the eyes of the user.
