Wireless Direction Detection for Customized Display Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic equipment displays a uniform menu screen to all users, which burdens users with selecting functions, as it does not utilize direction detecting functions of wireless communication to customize the display content.
Innovation Solution
The electronic equipment includes a direction-information acquiring unit to determine the terminal apparatus's location relative to a reference position and a processing unit that adjusts the display screen based on user information when the terminal apparatus is within a predetermined direction range, allowing for customized display screens based on user proximity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a uniform menu screen is displayed to all users, then the device structure remains simple, but users experience high operation complexity and burden when selecting functions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of user direction through wireless communication before displaying the menu screen. By acquiring direction information in advance and determining whether the terminal apparatus is within a predetermined direction range, the system automatically selects and displays appropriate function screens without requiring users to manually navigate through comprehensive menus, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining manageable system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The display content is customized based on the local direction and position of the terminal apparatus. Different function screens are displayed according to whether the terminal is detected in a specific direction range, creating localized personalized experiences. This approach improves user operation convenience by showing relevant functions first while the overall system structure remains organized and manageable
2Ease of operation
If direction information is acquired and display content is customized based on user position, then user convenience is improved, but the complexity of the control system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless communication unit serves multiple functions: it not only communicates data but also detects the direction and position of the terminal apparatus. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated direction detection hardware, thereby improving user convenience through personalized display while minimizing the increase in overall system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects user direction and selects appropriate display content without requiring manual user input or complex control interfaces. The direction-information acquiring unit and control unit work autonomously to determine and display relevant functions, improving operation convenience while keeping the control logic straightforward and maintainable

AI summary
Electronic equipment wirelessly communicates with a terminal apparatus through a wireless communication unit and includes a direction-information acquiring unit and a processor. The direction-information acquiring unit acquires, through wireless communication with the terminal apparatus by the wireless communication unit, direction information concerning a direction of the terminal apparatus with respect to a reference position of the electronic equipment. When determining based on the direction information that the terminal apparatus is located in a predetermined direction range, the processor performs processing for displaying, on a display, a display screen based on user information of a user of the terminal apparatus.
