Image Display Device Automatic Transmission Line and Format Setting Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image display devices require complex user procedures to change transmission line settings and format settings when switching from single-stream to multi-stream mode, necessitating individual adjustments of both settings.
Innovation Solution
An image display device with a signal input unit, transmission line control unit, image control unit, and setting control unit that allows either the transmission line setting or transmission format setting to be changed automatically, reducing user burden by coordinating these settings internally.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the transmission line setting is changed from Pin Assignment D to Pin Assignment C to enable multi-stream transport mode, then the image transmission capability is improved, but the device complexity and user operation complexity increase due to requiring coordinated changes in both transmission line setting and transmission format setting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the transmission line setting and transmission format setting into a unified control mechanism. When the user changes one setting (either transmission line setting or transmission format setting), the system automatically coordinates and changes the other setting accordingly, merging what were previously two separate manual configuration tasks into a single automated process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-configuration by automatically adjusting the transmission line setting when the transmission format setting is changed, or vice versa. The device monitors changes in one setting and autonomously makes the corresponding adjustment in the other setting without requiring user intervention, allowing the system to serve itself in the configuration process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If both transmission line setting and transmission format setting are manually changed to switch from single-stream to multi-stream mode, then the multi-display configuration is achieved, but the time required for configuration and the user burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares for the configuration change by establishing a linkage between transmission line setting and transmission format setting in advance. When the user initiates a change in either setting, the system has pre-established the coordination rule, allowing it to immediately and automatically adjust the other setting without requiring the user to perform separate manual configuration steps, thus reducing configuration time.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the transmission line setting is changed to Pin Assignment C to support multiple images, then the image transmission flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the need to coordinate multiple settings
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where changes in one setting (transmission line setting or transmission format setting) trigger an automatic response in the other setting. The system continuously monitors the state of both settings and provides real-time coordination, creating a closed-loop control system that manages the complexity of multi-setting configuration through automated feedback-driven adjustment.
