Display Grid Controller for Unified Dashboard Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display device systems lack an efficient method to coordinate visual representations across multiple display devices, requiring separate controls for each device and failing to provide a unified visual representation across multiple devices, leading to inaccurate and inefficient data display.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method where a first display controller configures and coordinates multiple display devices within a display grid by assigning dashboards to specific positions, retrieving data values, and determining the display content based on device positions, enabling centralized control and synchronized display of dashboards across multiple devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single display controller is used to manage multiple display devices, then device complexity is reduced, but the controller cannot efficiently retrieve multiple data sets and generate different visual representations for display
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the display grid into multiple independent display devices, each with its own display controller. Each controller independently retrieves data sets and generates visual representations for its specific display device, allowing parallel processing of multiple data sets without bottlenecking a single controller.
Solution Approach 2:
A centralized control application acts as an intermediary between the user and the display grid. This application coordinates the overall display configuration, assigns dashboards to specific positions in the grid, and manages data retrieval across multiple controllers, while allowing each controller to operate independently for its specific display device.
2Ease of operation
If separate controls are used for each display device, then each device can be independently controlled, but coordination between devices becomes complex and unified visual representation cannot be provided
Solution Approach 1:
The centralized control application serves as a mediator that provides unified control for the entire display grid while maintaining independent control capabilities for each device. It coordinates dashboard assignments, data retrieval, and visual representation generation across all display devices, ensuring consistent and coordinated display without requiring complex inter-device control mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
Each display controller is designed with multi-functionality to handle various display configurations and data sets. The controllers can independently retrieve different data sets, generate appropriate visual representations, and adapt to different display modes while remaining coordinated through the centralized control application.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple display devices are used to display visual representations, then data visualization capacity increases, but accurate coordination and unified display of multiple visual representations becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The display grid is segmented into multiple independent display devices, each capable of displaying different visual representations simultaneously. Each display controller independently manages its device, retrieving specific data sets and generating appropriate visual representations without interference from other devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The centralized control application implements feedback mechanisms to coordinate display across multiple devices. It receives configuration information about the display grid layout, assigns appropriate dashboards to specific positions, and coordinates data retrieval and display generation to ensure accurate and unified visual representation across all devices.
Data Source
AI summary
Various embodiments set forth a computer-implemented method of displaying content of a visualization environment, comprising receiving, by a display controller coupled to a display device included in a plurality of display devices, a configuration that includes a display mode and identifies a dashboard to be displayed, determining a position of the display device relative to positions of other display devices, retrieving a set of values associated with the dashboard, where the set of values is provided by a remote data source based on a query executed on raw machine data associated with the dashboard, determining, based on the position, at least a portion of the dashboard to display in the display device, and causing, by the display controller, the display device to display at least a portion of the set of values within at least the portion of the dashboard.
