Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If original algorithm data is transmitted directly between panel and TCON chip, then data transmission is simple and fast, but the algorithm data is easy to crack and security is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by encrypting the algorithm data before it is stored or transmitted. The encryption process transforms the original algorithm data into encrypted form using encryption algorithms and parameters, so that when the data is later read or transmitted, it remains secure. This preliminary encryption step ensures security is established before any potential security threats occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the data by transforming original algorithm data into encrypted data through encryption algorithms. The encryption process modifies the data parameters (converting readable algorithm data into encrypted form with different numerical representations), making the data secure while maintaining its functional integrity for later decryption and use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If encryption parameters are inserted into original algorithm data, then data security is enhanced, but data processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealgorithm data securityVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The encryption of algorithm data is performed in advance during the data preparation or storage phase, rather than in real-time during transmission or execution. This preliminary encryption allows the security measure to be implemented without significantly impacting the time-critical operations that use the algorithm data later.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If different panel manufacturers use different algorithm data, then each panel's specific defects are compensated, but data sharing and collaboration become difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepanel quality compensationVSAvoiddata sharing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms proprietary algorithm data into encrypted form, creating a standardized encrypted data format that can be universally shared while preserving the unique characteristics of each manufacturer's algorithm. The encryption parameters and methods can be standardized across manufacturers, allowing them to share encrypted algorithm data securely while maintaining their proprietary advantages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The encryption system acts as an intermediary that enables secure data sharing between different panel manufacturers. By converting algorithm data into encrypted form with standardized encryption methods, manufacturers can exchange algorithm data through secure channels while maintaining security and proprietary protection, facilitating collaboration without exposing sensitive information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
