Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display systems for video games lack the ability to automatically adjust display settings based on the genre of the game being played, leading to suboptimal viewing experiences due to inconsistent image and drive processing across different game types.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus and control method that analyze image feature information, including motion and depth, to determine the game genre and dynamically adjust display settings accordingly, restoring the settings when the game is changed or ended.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If automatic genre detection and dynamic display setting adjustment are implemented, then user convenience and gaming experience are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display apparatus automatically detects game genre characteristics from input signals and adjusts display settings without user intervention. The controller analyzes game content features (such as resolution, refresh rate requirements, motion intensity) and autonomously selects optimal display parameters, enabling the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual configuration by the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes display parameters (resolution, refresh rate, response time, backlight brightness) based on detected game genre characteristics. Different game types trigger different parameter configurations - for example, fast-paced action games may receive higher refresh rates and faster response times, while strategy games may use higher resolutions with standard refresh rates, optimizing performance for each genre.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If display settings are dynamically adjusted based on game genre, then picture quality and driving settings are optimized, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepicture qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of incoming game signals to detect genre characteristics before full display rendering begins. By identifying game type early in the signal processing chain, the controller can pre-configure appropriate display parameters, avoiding delays during gameplay. This preliminary detection enables seamless transitions between different display modes without interrupting the gaming experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
