Display Controller Synchronization for Source Settings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when switching between different sources of content in display apparatuses, as they need to re-adjust display settings to achieve the same effects, leading to repetitive and time-consuming settings processes.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a controller that synchronizes user-adjusted menu data across multiple sources, allowing users to set display parameters once and apply them uniformly across all input sources or modes, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If display parameters are adjusted for each input source separately, then each source can have optimized display settings, but users need to repeatedly adjust settings when switching sources, increasing operation time and reducing convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display parameter settings of multiple input sources by providing a synchronization function that copies settings from one source to others. When users adjust display parameters for one input source, these settings can be automatically or manually synchronized to other sources, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments and reducing operation time while maintaining optimized display settings across different sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal settings management system that allows display parameters to be applied across multiple input sources simultaneously. The controller provides functions to synchronize and manage display settings universally across HDMI, USB, and other input sources, enabling one setting configuration to serve multiple purposes and sources.
2Adaptability or versatility
If display parameters are adjusted for each picture mode separately, then each mode can have optimized settings, but users need to repeatedly adjust settings when switching modes, increasing operation complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges picture mode settings across different modes through a synchronization function. When users adjust display parameters for one picture mode (e.g., Movie mode), these settings can be synchronized to other picture modes (e.g., Game mode, PC mode), reducing operation complexity while maintaining mode-specific optimization where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by allowing users to set display parameters in one picture mode first, then automatically or manually applying these settings to other picture modes. This preliminary setting approach eliminates the need for repeated adjustments when switching between modes, making the system easier to operate.
3Ease of operation
If separate setting menus are provided for each source and mode, then comprehensive control is available, but the system complexity increases and user interface becomes more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal setting menu system that provides comprehensive control across all input sources and picture modes through a single interface. The controller manages multiple sources and modes within one unified menu structure, allowing users to access and synchronize settings without navigating through separate complex menus for each source or mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary synchronization function that mediates between different input sources and picture modes. This intermediary layer manages the complexity by handling the synchronization logic centrally, allowing the user interface to remain simple while still providing comprehensive control over all settings across multiple sources and modes.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a display apparatus. The display apparatus includes: a display; a user interface; and a controller, configured to perform: in response to a user input, synchronizing menu content data set under a current source to other sources, so that the other sources can obtain the same display effect as that under the current source. Unnecessary repeated setting is avoided, and convenience is brought to users in use.
