Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display calibration methods are time-consuming and inefficient, particularly when multiple color presets are required, as they involve repeated front-of-screen measurements and recalibrations, which can take hours and disrupt user workflow.

Innovation Solution

The process of display measurement and calibration is separated from color preset generation, allowing dynamic and on-demand creation of color presets without additional front-of-screen measurements, using a calibration engine to set the display device in a linear light condition and a color preset engine to generate presets based on this condition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If repeated front-of-screen measurements and recalibrations are performed to generate multiple color presets, then color accuracy is improved, but calibration time increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor accuracyVSAvoidcalibration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the color preset generation process into two independent parts: (1) a single calibration process that establishes a baseline color profile, and (2) multiple color preset generations that reuse this baseline without requiring repeated measurements. This segmentation allows the calibration to be performed once while enabling multiple color presets to be generated from the same calibration data, thereby reducing calibration time while maintaining color accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs the calibration process in advance as a preliminary action, establishing a baseline color profile that can be reused for generating multiple color presets. By completing the time-consuming measurement and calibration work beforehand, the system eliminates the need to repeat this process for each color preset, thus significantly reducing the time required for subsequent preset generations while preserving color accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If multiple color presets are generated using traditional calibration methods, then color accuracy is improved, but user workflow disruption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor accuracyVSAvoiduser workflow continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The calibration process is performed as a preliminary action before the user needs multiple color presets. By establishing the baseline color profile in advance, the system enables rapid generation of color presets without interrupting the user's workflow, thus maintaining both color accuracy and workflow continuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses the baseline color profile as a template that can be copied and reused for generating multiple color presets. Instead of requiring the user to undergo repeated calibration processes that would disrupt workflow, the system copies the established baseline data to create additional color presets, thereby preserving both accuracy and workflow efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If calibration is performed for each color preset, then color accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor accuracyVSAvoidcalibration process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the calibration functionality into a single baseline calibration process that serves as the foundation for all color presets. This segmentation simplifies the overall system architecture by eliminating the need for multiple independent calibration processes, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining color accuracy through the reusable baseline profile.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The baseline color profile serves as a universal foundation that can be used to generate multiple different color presets. This multi-functionality reduces device complexity by having a single calibration process that supports numerous color preset generations, rather than requiring separate calibration mechanisms for each preset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
