Display Device Storing Configuration Data with Image
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices, such as PVRs, require users to repeatedly input video and audio configuration data when reproducing stored image data and lack the ability to automatically detect optimal configuration settings, leading to user inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A display device and method that associate and store specific image data with corresponding video and audio configuration data, allowing for automatic detection and storage of optimal settings during recording, eliminating the need for repeated user input and providing a convenient user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If video and audio configuration data are stored separately in EEPROM, then the data can be preserved, but users must repeatedly input the same configuration data when reproducing image data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges image data and configuration data into a single integrated data structure stored together in the hard disk drive. When image data is recorded, the corresponding configuration data (video settings, audio settings, display parameters) is automatically associated and stored with it, eliminating the need for separate EEPROM storage and repeated user input during playback.
2Device complexity
If configuration data are stored separately from image data, then storage management is simplified, but the system cannot automatically detect optimal settings for different image data characteristics
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically detecting and storing optimal configuration settings at the time of image data recording. The controller analyzes the recorded image data characteristics and pre-configures the appropriate video, audio, and display parameters, which are then automatically applied during playback without requiring real-time user adjustment or complex separate management systems.
3Manufacturing precision
If users manually specify configuration data each time, then precise control over display settings is achieved, but time is lost due to repeated specification
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically managing configuration data association and retrieval. When image data is recorded, the controller automatically detects and stores the optimal configuration settings with the image data. During playback, the system automatically retrieves and applies the associated configuration data without requiring user intervention, thus maintaining precise display settings while eliminating time loss from manual re-specification.

AI summary
A display device for storing various sets of configuration data and a method for controlling the same are provided. The device includes an input unit and first and second controllers. Upon receiving a command to record specific image data through the input unit, the first controller determines a set of configuration data associated with the specific image data and stores the specific image data and the set of configuration data in association with each other. Upon receiving a command to reproduce stored specific image data, the second controller reads a set of configuration data associated with the specific image data and reproduces the specific image data according to the read set of configuration data. Thus, the stored specific image data can be reproduced in a display environment desired by the user without requiring the user to memorize and repeatedly input the desired set of video and audio configuration data.
