Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display apparatuses lack the ability to synchronize the color of peripheral devices with the image displayed, leading to a single and poor user experience during interactive scenarios, and Bluetooth connection prompts can interfere with content playback.

Innovation Solution

The display apparatus synchronizes the color of peripheral devices with the image using HSL values, dividing the image into regions and sending HSL values to each device for accurate color representation, and manages Bluetooth connections to avoid interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display apparatus acts as a fully open platform for interaction with peripheral devices, then the interaction capabilities and user experience are improved, but Bluetooth connection prompts from multiple devices can interfere with content playback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction capabilitiesVSAvoidBluetooth connection prompts interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection to identify the type of peripheral device before processing its connection requests. By预先 classifying devices as control devices or non-control devices, the system can apply different handling strategies, allowing content playback to continue uninterrupted while still accepting connections from non-interfering devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the display apparatus synchronizes color to all peripheral devices, then the immersive experience is improved, but the color synchronization accuracy may be reduced due to device differences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimmersive experienceVSAvoidcolor synchronization accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different color synchronization strategies based on the specific characteristics of each peripheral device. Control devices receive precise HSL color values for accurate color matching, while non-control devices may use alternative methods or reduced precision, optimizing both immersive experience and color accuracy for each device type

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If the display apparatus processes connection requests from all Bluetooth devices, then the compatibility is improved, but the system complexity increases due to handling different device types

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecompatibilityVSAvoidconnection management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments peripheral devices into distinct categories (control devices and non-control devices) based on their functionality and connection characteristics. This segmentation allows the system to apply simplified, device-type-specific processing rules rather than complex universal handling, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining broad compatibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
