Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in determining the optimal combination of devices such as cameras, microphones, and speakers when multiple devices with the same function are connected to a display device, especially during web conferences.
Innovation Solution
A display device equipped with an acquisition processing unit to gather information about connected devices, a decision processing unit to determine the best device combinations based on performance, communication environment, and usage environment, and a display processing unit to present these combinations to the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple devices with the same function are connected to the display device, then the versatility and functionality are improved, but the difficulty of determining the optimal combination increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display device automatically evaluates and ranks device combinations based on predetermined criteria (communication environment, performance, usage environment) without requiring manual user assessment. The system serves itself by autonomously determining optimal configurations and presenting them to users, reducing the cognitive burden on users while maintaining high versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of device combination presentation from a raw list of all possible combinations to a ranked list based on evaluation criteria. By introducing evaluation parameters (communication quality, performance metrics, usage context), the system transforms the selection process into a parameter-driven ranking system that makes versatile options easier to compare and select.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple devices with the same function are connected to the display device, then the functionality is improved, but the time and effort required for device settings increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary evaluation and ranking of all possible device combinations before the user needs to make a selection. By pre-calculating the quality metrics and ordering combinations in advance based on communication environment, performance, and usage context, the system eliminates the time-consuming process of manual evaluation during actual device setup.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to users in the form of ranked recommendations with explicit quality indicators. Instead of presenting raw device lists, the system feeds back evaluated combination quality metrics that help users quickly understand which combinations are optimal, significantly reducing the time and effort required for device configuration decisions.
