Display Apparatus Automatic Device Selection for Input
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses face inconvenience when inputting longer character strings due to the need for complex settings and lengthy processes when using external electronic devices, especially when multiple devices are present, making it difficult to automatically connect the suitable device for user input.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus equipped with a communicator, storage, and processor that obtains state information from surrounding electronic devices, selects a suitable device based on predetermined criteria such as user identification, proximity, and device usage, and automatically requests connection to perform user input functions.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user manually connects to an external electronic device for input, then input functionality is achieved, but the connection process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus proactively obtains state information from surrounding electronic devices before the user needs to input, pre-identifies suitable devices based on criteria (proximity, usage state, user association), and prepares connection requests in advance. This preliminary action eliminates the need for manual device selection and connection steps when the user actually needs to input.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic device selection and connection establishment without requiring user intervention. The display apparatus autonomously monitors electronic device states, evaluates suitability based on predetermined criteria, and automatically initiates connection requests to the most appropriate device, making the connection process self-service rather than user-driven.
2Speed
If the display apparatus automatically connects to any nearby electronic device, then connection speed improves, but device selection accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus continuously obtains and monitors state information from surrounding electronic devices, including proximity data, usage states, and user association information. This feedback loop enables the system to dynamically evaluate which device is most suitable for connection based on current conditions, ensuring accurate device selection while maintaining automatic connection speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses multiple evaluation parameters (proximity distance, device usage state, user association) to determine connection suitability. By changing and weighing these parameters dynamically based on real-time conditions, the system achieves both fast automatic connection and accurate device selection, as the connection target is determined by composite parameter evaluation rather than simple proximity alone.
3Measurement precision
If the display apparatus monitors state information from multiple electronic devices, then device selection accuracy improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus extracts only the essential state information needed for device selection (proximity, usage state, user association) from the multiple electronic devices in the environment. By taking out only these critical parameters rather than processing all possible device attributes, the system achieves accurate device selection while minimizing information processing complexity.
