Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing complexity of display devices with multiple modules poses challenges in manually setting their location, layout, and connection relationships, leading to installation errors and increased difficulty in achieving accurate alignment and communication connections.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication interface and processor that captures images of the display device, identifies module locations by comparing images with different output patterns, and transmits location information to automatically allocate and set the positions of display modules, eliminating the need for manual input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the number of display modules increases to achieve higher resolution and bigger display size, then display quality is improved, but installation difficulty and error probability increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-identification of display module locations and relationships through image capture and processing. The controller captures images of the display device, automatically identifies the location and disposition relationship of each display module, and establishes communication connections without requiring manual input from installers, thereby resolving the contradiction between high display quality and installation difficulty
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical identification processes with an automated optical recognition system. Instead of requiring installers to manually input location and layout information, the system uses image capture devices and image processing algorithms to automatically detect and identify display module positions and relationships, eliminating human error and reducing installation complexity
2Measurement precision
If manual input is used to set display module locations and connections, then control precision is maintained, but time consumption and error probability increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary automatic identification of display module locations and relationships before final configuration. By pre-processing the image capture and analysis steps, the system establishes the foundational location information and communication connection relationships in advance, which then guides the final precise configuration without requiring time-consuming manual verification
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where captured images are processed to automatically generate location and connection information, which is then fed back to the controller to establish communication connections. This closed-loop feedback process ensures both speed and accuracy by continuously verifying and adjusting the identified module relationships
