Innovation Solution
A system and method that enables remote monitoring and operation of display assemblies through a centralized monitoring center, allowing clients to access and manage their operations data securely, while using network-connected devices to gather, process, and present data visually.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If operations data for multiple clients are co-located in a centralized storage system, then device complexity and storage expense are reduced, but client privacy and data security concerns arise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments operations data by associating each data record with a unique client identifier, allowing logical separation of client data within the same physical storage system. This enables the centralized storage to remain simple while maintaining data security through identifier-based data isolation.
2Reliability
If individual storage devices are used for each client's operations data, then data security and privacy are improved, but device complexity and storage expense increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple clients' operations data into a single centralized storage system, reducing the number of storage devices needed. Client data security is maintained through the use of client identifiers that logically separate and protect each client's data within the unified storage infrastructure.
3Ease of operation
If complete access to co-located operations data is provided, then data accessibility and monitoring efficiency are improved, but privacy concerns and security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing customized data access to each client based on their specific identifier. Each client can access only their own operations data through the centralized system, maintaining security while enabling efficient monitoring. The system selectively retrieves and presents data based on the requesting client's identifier.
4Illumination intensity
If backlight levels are increased to improve display visibility, then illumination intensity is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic backlight control that adjusts illumination levels based on operational conditions and energy availability. The system can modify backlight brightness dynamically to optimize visibility while managing energy consumption, particularly important for display assemblies operating in various environmental conditions.
Data Source
AI summary
Display assemblies and related systems and methods are disclosed for reducing circuit breaker trips. Electronic equipment of the display assembly, including an electronic display, is interposed between external power source(s) and circuit breaker(s). A controller receives data from power monitoring equipment electrically interposed between the circuit breaker(s) and the electronic equipment. Where the power consumption exceeds a predetermined threshold, which is established below the trip threshold, the controller causes the electronic equipment to adjust operations to reduce power consumption, thereby reducing the likelihood of the circuit breaker(s) tripping.
