Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices have limited user customization options for color settings, relying on subjective evaluations and complex parameter adjustments, which can lead to user dissatisfaction and brand preference limitations due to unfamiliarity with display parameters.

Innovation Solution

A color setting method that displays multiple groups of color pictures with varying components, allowing users to select preferences, acquire color data, and set display device parameters based on user preferences, either locally or through a remote server, using preset templates to correct and optimize color settings intuitively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users adjust display parameters manually using complex settings menus, then color customization capability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to user unfamiliarity with display parameters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor customization capabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that includes color picture display modules and selection interfaces. Instead of directly exposing complex parameters to users, the system presents multiple groups of color pictures with different color components, allowing users to select their preferences through visual comparison. This intermediary layer translates complex parameter adjustments into simple visual selections, resolving the contradiction between customization capability and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical parameter-adjustment interface (sliders, histograms, curves) with a visual selection system. Users no longer manually adjust numerical parameters but instead select from pre-generated color picture groups that represent different color settings. The system automatically processes selections and applies corresponding color parameters, substituting manual mechanical adjustment with automated visual-based configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If display devices use fixed factory settings, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability deteriorates due to inability to meet diverse user color preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidcolor style adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static factory setting into a dynamic, user-adaptable system. Instead of a fixed color configuration, the device now presents multiple color picture groups that can be selected and adjusted based on user preference. The system dynamically generates or retrieves different color settings and applies them according to user selections, enabling the display to adapt to diverse user needs while maintaining simple operation through the selection interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables parameter changes by providing users with the ability to select from multiple color picture groups, each representing different color parameter configurations. When users select pictures from different groups, the system automatically adjusts underlying color parameters (such as brightness, contrast, saturation, color temperature) to match the selected preferences. This allows flexible parameter adaptation without requiring users to understand or manually adjust technical parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple color parameters are provided for adjustment, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases due to more setting options and processing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor setting flexibilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex color parameter adjustment task into multiple manageable groups of color pictures. Instead of presenting all color parameters simultaneously, the system divides them into distinct groups (e.g., first group with first color component, second group with second color component). Users navigate through these segmented groups sequentially or selectively, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining comprehensive color adjustment capability. Each group focuses on specific color aspects, making the overall complex system more approachable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
