Display System Image Layout Control via Position Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display systems face increased processing load when displaying multiple images, necessitating higher processing power or more sophisticated functions to arrange images freely without adding to the device's burden.
Innovation Solution
A control method and system that transmits output information with a first image and position information to a display device, allowing a second image to be placed accordingly, enabling the display device to generate and display the combined image without increasing its processing power.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a display device provides a function of adjusting a layout of a plurality of images, then the degree of freedom in arrangement of images is increased, but the processing load on the display device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the image arrangement function into separate components: the control device handles layout determination and position calculation, while the display device only executes the actual image display at predetermined positions. This segmentation reduces the processing burden on the display device while maintaining flexible image arrangement capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The control device acts as an intermediary that receives image sources, determines optimal layouts, calculates positions, and transmits control signals to the display device. This intermediary role allows the system to achieve high adaptability in image arrangement without requiring the display device to perform complex layout calculations, thus reducing its processing power requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a display device provides a function of adjusting a layout of a plurality of images, then the degree of freedom in arrangement of images is increased, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the system into a control device that handles complex layout determination and position calculation functions, and a display device that focuses solely on receiving control signals and displaying images at predetermined positions. This segmentation reduces the functional complexity of the display device while maintaining high adaptability through the control device's layout adjustment capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The control device serves as an intermediary that encapsulates the complex layout adjustment functions. It receives multiple image sources, determines optimal arrangements, calculates positions, and communicates control information to the display device. This intermediary structure allows the display device to maintain simplicity while achieving flexible image arrangement through external control.
