Display OSD Identifier Configuration for Paperless Equipment Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Printed documents accompanying displays, such as Quick Start Guides and calibration reports, are often lost or discarded, leading to environmental waste and diminished user benefits, while manufacturers seek green and energy-saving practices.
Innovation Solution
A method and system to electronically record and display On Screen Display (OSD) menus with identifiers on displays, using a scalar integrated circuit to load font data from a storage device, which includes a unique QR code for accessing equipment data via a cloud server, eliminating the need for printed documents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If printed documents (Quick Start Guides, calibration reports) are provided in packaging, then users can access equipment information, but documents are lost or discarded causing environmental waste
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical printed documents with electronic copies stored in the display device's internal memory. The Quick Start Guide, calibration reports, and other equipment information are digitized and made accessible through the display's built-in storage, eliminating paper usage while preserving information accessibility. Users can access these electronic documents through the display interface without needing physical printed copies.
2Loss of substance
If electronic versions of documents are provided, then environmental waste is reduced, but users need convenient access methods
Solution Approach 1:
The display device provides self-service functionality by storing and displaying equipment information, calibration reports, and user guides directly on its own screen. Users can access these documents through the display's interface without needing external devices or physical copies. The system also includes features for capturing and displaying real-time calibration data, allowing users to obtain information directly from the display itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an electronic intermediary layer between the equipment and the user. Instead of direct physical document delivery or external digital storage, the display device acts as an intermediary that stores, processes, and presents equipment information in an accessible format. This intermediary system bridges the gap between the need for information and the desire for environmental sustainability.
3Loss of information
If printed calibration reports are provided, then users receive equipment data, but documents are difficult to find when needed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-loading all equipment information, calibration reports, and user guides into the display device's internal memory during manufacturing or initial setup. This advance preparation ensures that all necessary documents are immediately available within the device itself, eliminating the need for users to search through physical papers or external storage devices when information is needed.
Data Source
AI summary
A display data configuration method includes: recording, by a burner, first font data to a storage device basing on a first address; conducting a calibration test on the display; after the display completes the calibration test, generating an identifier corresponding to the display by an electronic device, wherein the identifier is generated based on a network address and the network address is configured to access equipment data of the display; generating second font data according to the identifier by the electronic device; and storing the second font data to the storage device of the display basing on a second address, where the first font data and the second font data are configured to show an On Screen Display menu including the identifier on a display module of the display.
