Display Apparatus Automatic Connection via Camera Interface Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for connecting a mobile apparatus to a display apparatus, such as a TV, require complex manual procedures, making it inconvenient for users without network connection knowledge to establish a network connection between them.
Innovation Solution
A communication system where the display apparatus and mobile apparatus use cameras to automatically establish a connection by displaying and recognizing communication interface information, allowing for seamless communication setup without manual control, utilizing image sensors and controllers to determine and select the optimal communication interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional manual connection procedures are used, then connection reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic connection establishment where the display apparatus and mobile apparatus autonomously perform connection procedures without user intervention. The display apparatus automatically detects the mobile apparatus, exchanges connection information, and establishes the connection, making the system serve itself rather than requiring manual user control.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus preliminarily prepares connection information (such as connection identifiers and communication parameters) and displays them before the actual connection occurs. This preliminary preparation allows the mobile apparatus to read the information and establish connection quickly without requiring users to manually configure settings.
2Ease of operation
If automatic connection is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus utilizes its existing display function to also serve as a connection information interface, and uses its existing communication capabilities to perform automatic connection establishment. By making existing components multi-functional, the system achieves automatic connection without adding significant complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus acts as an intermediary by displaying connection information that the mobile apparatus can read. This intermediary role facilitates automatic connection by bridging the information gap between devices without requiring complex direct communication protocols, leveraging the existing display and camera functions as mediators.
