Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Discrete display chips are unable to process high-resolution image data outputted by upgraded System on Chips (SoCs), leading to reduced display quality and compatibility issues.
Innovation Solution
Implement a data processing method that involves reducing the resolution of high-resolution image data using a discrete display chip and subsequently upscaling it to ensure compatibility, where the resolution of the second data is less than the first data is less than the first data is less than the resolution of the second data is less than the first threshold, and the resolution of the third data is equal to the first data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the SoC outputs high-resolution image data to improve display quality, then the display quality should be improved, but the discrete display chip cannot process high-resolution data, leading to compatibility issues and reduced display quality
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the image data processing into two stages: first reducing high-resolution data to low-resolution data that the discrete display chip can process, then restoring it back to high-resolution data for display. This segmentation allows each component to operate within its capabilities while achieving the overall goal of high-quality display.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing mechanism that converts high-resolution image data into a format suitable for the discrete display chip, processes it, and then restores it. This intermediary approach enables compatibility between the high-resolution SoC output and the lower-resolution discrete display chip input.
2Device complexity
If the discrete display chip processes low-resolution data only, then it maintains simplicity and lower cost, but it cannot adapt to upgraded SoCs that output high-resolution data
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the data resolution based on the capabilities of the discrete display chip. By implementing a resolution conversion mechanism, the system can adapt to different SoC output resolutions while maintaining compatibility with the fixed-capability display chip, making the overall system adaptable to upgraded SoCs without requiring a more complex display chip.
3Manufacturing precision
If high-resolution image data is processed directly by the discrete display chip, then display quality should be maintained, but the processing capability of the discrete display chip is exceeded
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by reducing the resolution of image data before it reaches the discrete display chip. This preprocessing step ensures that the data is within the processing capabilities of the display chip, preventing overload and ensuring reliable operation, while still allowing high-resolution display through subsequent restoration.
