Display Device Operation History Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display control systems are overly complex due to the need for an information management server in addition to the printer and personal computer, complicating settings and operations.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a display device receives operation history information from a terminal device, generates and transmits display information to create a second operation image for settings, reducing the operational load and complexity by integrating these functions within the display device and terminal device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an information management server is added to manage setting item frequency, then the system can provide personalized display arrangements, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the information management server functionality directly into the display device, merging previously separate components (display device, terminal device, and information management server) into a unified system. This eliminates the need for a separate server while maintaining the capability to manage and personalize setting item displays based on frequency data.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device is enhanced with multi-functionality by integrating both display operations and information management capabilities. The display device now serves dual purposes: displaying content and managing setting item frequency information, thereby eliminating the need for a dedicated information management server.
2Loss of information
If operation history information is stored in the terminal device, then the system can access usage patterns, but the display device loses centralized control
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces communication units as intermediaries between the terminal device and display device. These communication units enable bidirectional data exchange, allowing the display device to receive operation history information from the terminal device while maintaining centralized control over the display presentation and setting management.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the display device receives operation history information from the terminal device, processes this data to determine setting item frequencies, and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust and personalize the display arrangement of setting items, creating a closed-loop control system.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for controlling a display device includes: receiving history information about an operation to a first operation image for a setting of the display device, from a terminal device displaying the first operation image; generating display information used to display a second operation image for a setting of the display device, using the history information; and transmitting the display information to the terminal device.
