Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices lack an efficient method to optimize the settings of their modules, leading to variations in image quality, and there is a need for a system to collect and utilize parameter information from adjacent devices to enhance module settings.

Innovation Solution

A display device and server system that includes a communication unit for transmitting and receiving state information and parameters, with a controller that adjusts module modes based on priority settings, ensuring optimal operation by sharing mode information and parameters across devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If module settings are individually configured without parameter sharing, then device independence is maintained, but image quality optimization is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodule setting optimizationVSAvoidparameter management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by storing parameters from adjacent devices with normal operation and replicating them to devices experiencing abnormalities. The server copies successful parameter configurations from one display device to another, enabling optimal module settings to be transferred without manual reconfiguration, thus improving manufacturing precision while managing complexity through automated parameter replication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary between display devices, collecting state information from devices with abnormalities and retrieving parameters from adjacent devices with normal operations. This intermediary facilitates parameter sharing and optimization without requiring direct device-to-device communication, resolving the contradiction by centralizing parameter management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If parameters from adjacent devices are shared, then image quality is improved, but information security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage quality optimizationVSAvoidinformation security risks
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by having the server collect state information from display devices, compare it against stored parameters from adjacent devices, and only transfer parameters when abnormalities are detected. This feedback mechanism ensures that parameter sharing occurs selectively based on actual device needs, improving image quality while minimizing security risks by avoiding unnecessary information exchange.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by storing parameters specific to each adjacent device's operating conditions and module states. When sharing parameters, the server transfers only the relevant local parameter sets matched to the specific abnormality detected, rather than sharing all parameters universally. This targeted approach optimizes image quality for each device's specific context while reducing overall information exposure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If state information is transmitted to server, then parameter optimization is enabled, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter optimization efficiencyVSAvoidcommunication energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs preliminary action by pre-storing parameters from multiple adjacent devices before any abnormality occurs. When a device experiences an issue, the optimization can proceed immediately using pre-collected parameters without requiring real-time data exchange with multiple devices. This preliminary parameter collection enables fast optimization while reducing communication overhead during the actual problem-solving phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A display device provided with one or more modules includes a communication unit configured to transmit state information of the one or more modules to a server and an adjacent device and configured to receive a parameter set in the adjacent device from the server or the adjacent device, both of which receive the state information, and a controller configured to change a mode of the one or more modules according to the parameter.
