Multi-Input Advertising Display for Flexible Playback Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional advertising apparatuses lack compatibility, as they are limited to a fixed built-in operating system, preventing users from easily switching or adjusting media input sources.
Innovation Solution
An advertising apparatus designed with a multi-function control module and video box mounting component, supporting multiple playback modes through various video and data signal input/output ports, allowing users to connect their own video boxes and switch display sources via automatic recognition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a fixed main control system is configured at the time of manufacture, then the device structure is simplified and manufacturing is easier, but the adaptability and versatility of the advertising apparatus deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The advertising apparatus is designed with multiple video signal input interfaces (HDMI, VGA, DVI, component, composite) and supports multiple playback modes (local storage playback, network streaming playback, video box connection playback). This multi-functionality enables the device to adapt to different media input sources and user needs, resolving the contradiction between simplified manufacturing and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows dynamic switching between different playback modes and input sources through an operating interface system or automatic recognition. The playback mode can be changed from a fixed state to a dynamic, user-adjustable state, enabling the apparatus to adapt to different usage scenarios while maintaining a relatively simple fixed structure.
2Ease of manufacture
If a fixed main control system is configured at the time of manufacture, then the device structure is simplified, but the ease of operation deteriorates when users need to switch media input sources
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides automatic recognition functionality that can automatically detect and switch to the appropriate input source without requiring manual configuration by the user. This self-service feature simplifies operation while maintaining the simple fixed structure of the device.
Solution Approach 2:
By providing multiple input interfaces and playback modes with a unified control system, the device allows users to easily switch between different media sources (local storage, network streaming, video boxes) without complex reconfiguration, thereby improving ease of operation while keeping the overall structure simple.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple video signal input interfaces are provided, then the adaptability and versatility are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The advertising apparatus integrates multiple video signal input interfaces (HDMI, VGA, DVI, component, composite) and multiple playback modes into a single unified system. This universal design allows one device to perform multiple functions, improving compatibility without proportionally increasing overall device complexity through modular integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple input interfaces and playback modes into a single integrated advertising apparatus with a unified main control system. By merging these functions into one device rather than requiring separate systems, the overall complexity is managed while maintaining high adaptability and versatility.
