Solution Overview

Problem

Smart devices experience delays in image display due to computation rate limitations of processing devices during signal preprocessing and trajectory identification, affecting user experience.

Innovation Solution

The input information is directly processed by a display driver chip of the display device, generating a first image output without waiting for the processing device, and the processing device generates a second image for subsequent replacement under certain conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If signal preprocessing and trajectory identification are performed by the processing device, then image display quality is improved, but display delay increases due to computation rate limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage display qualityVSAvoiddisplay delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the image processing task into two segments: basic signal preprocessing and trajectory identification are performed by the display driver chip, while advanced processing is performed by the processing device. This segmentation allows the display driver chip to handle time-sensitive tasks independently, reducing display delay while maintaining image quality through subsequent advanced processing by the processing device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display driver chip performs preliminary signal preprocessing and trajectory identification before the processing device completes its advanced processing. This preliminary action ensures that basic display requirements are met immediately, reducing display delay, while the processing device can subsequently enhance the image quality without causing delay.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If the processing device performs all signal preprocessing and trajectory identification, then processing accuracy is improved, but computation time increases causing display delay

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the processing tasks by assigning basic trajectory identification to the display driver chip and advanced processing to the processing device. This segmentation reduces the computation time burden on the processing device while maintaining overall processing accuracy through collaborative effort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display driver chip acts as an intermediary that performs initial trajectory identification and passes the results to the processing device for advanced processing. This intermediary approach allows the processing device to focus on accuracy-enhancing tasks without being bottlenecked by time-sensitive basic processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
