Solution Overview

Problem

Full-screen mobile devices face radio frequency interference issues due to the integration of a driver-integrated chip in the display, which affects the antenna's receiving sensitivity, particularly when using cellular mobile networks or Wi-Fi, as the frequency division and multiplication points of the mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) interfere with the radio frequency antenna.

Innovation Solution

A method is implemented to detect electromagnetic interference between the Wi-Fi module and the MIPI of a display in electronic devices, prompting the user to turn off the display and perform screen-projection to a target device, thereby avoiding interference and improving communication stability during screen-projection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If the driver-integrated chip of the display is integrated into the antenna clearance area, then the display area is increased, but electromagnetic interference occurs between the MIPI frequency and the radio frequency antenna

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidelectromagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the display driver chip from the antenna clearance area and places it in a non-clearance area, thereby removing the source of electromagnetic interference while maintaining the full-screen display effect. This spatial separation resolves the contradiction between maximizing display area and avoiding electromagnetic interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (frequency adjustment or shielding) between the MIPI signal and the radio frequency antenna to mitigate electromagnetic interference. This allows the driver chip to remain in position while reducing its harmful electromagnetic effects on the antenna.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the display is turned off to avoid electromagnetic interference, then communication stability is improved, but user interaction capability is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication stabilityVSAvoiduser interaction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control of the display state based on communication requirements. The display can be selectively turned off during critical wireless communication operations and reactivated when interference is not an issue, thereby maintaining both communication stability and user interaction capability under different conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If screen-projection is performed with the display on, then user convenience is maintained, but electromagnetic interference affects data transmission reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoiddata transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary detection of electromagnetic interference conditions before initiating screen-projection. If interference is detected, the system proactively adjusts the display state or frequency parameters in advance, preventing transmission issues while maintaining user convenience during the actual projection operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method for electromagnetic interference control and related devices are provided. The method includes the following. Electromagnetic interference between a Wi-Fi module and a MIPI of a display of the electronic device is detected in response to detecting a request for screen-projection to a target screen-projection device. In response to the detected electromagnetic interference, the display is turned off, and screen-projection to the target screen-projection device is performed, where the first prompt message indicates that the electronic device is turning off the display and performing screen-projection to the target screen-projection device.
