Solution Overview

Problem

Current display technologies face limitations in configuring colors for displayed objects, leading to inflexible and resource-intensive processes that hinder efficient mapping between objects and colors, particularly in instruments like oscilloscopes and spectrometers.

Innovation Solution

A color generation system comprising a to-be-displayed object processing module, a color setting module, and a color generation module that preprocesses object information, generates a color mapping table, and configures display colors based on subpixel information components, enabling rapid and flexible color mapping.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If predetermined mapping relationship is used to control display color, then implementation is simple, but color mapping speed is slow and resource consumption is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidcolor mapping speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-calculates and stores color mapping relationships in a lookup table during system initialization or offline processing. When displaying objects, the system directly queries the pre-computed mapping table instead of calculating colors in real-time, significantly accelerating the color mapping speed while maintaining implementation simplicity through the use of pre-prepared data structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of manufacture

If predetermined mapping relationship is used to control display color, then implementation is simple, but resource occupation and bandwidth usage increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidresource occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the color mapping process into two parts: a comprehensive mapping table generated offline that contains all possible color mappings, and a lightweight query operation performed online. This segmentation allows the system to store the heavy computational work in pre-computed tables rather than executing it during runtime, reducing real-time resource occupation and bandwidth usage while keeping the online implementation simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional color mapping method is used, then color configuration is limited, but processing overhead is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor configuration flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a color mapping table as an intermediary data structure that bridges the object properties and display colors. This table acts as a mediator that pre-resolves the complex mapping relationships, allowing the system to support flexible color configurations without increasing processing overhead during actual display operations, as the intermediary table handles the computational complexity in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
