Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices face errors when changing resolutions, leading to poor user experience due to unrecognized image issues and potential display environment problems, especially when content providing devices support specific aspect ratios for games or other content.

Innovation Solution

A display device with processor-controlled functionality to request and receive content at different resolutions, compare images for errors, and automatically adjust or notify users of resolution changes to maintain optimal viewing conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the resolution of the display device is changed to adapt to different content requirements, then the adaptability is improved, but image errors occur and reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresolution adaptationVSAvoidimage quality reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by comparing image data before and after resolution changes to detect potential errors before they affect the user experience. The processor proactively checks for image quality degradation when resolution is changed, allowing for preventive correction rather than reactive response.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring image quality after resolution changes and using this information to determine whether to maintain the new resolution or revert to the original. The processor compares current image data with reference data and provides feedback control to maintain reliability while enabling adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If the display device automatically detects and corrects resolution errors, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic error detection and correctionVSAvoidprocessor control functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display device performs self-service by automatically detecting resolution errors and correcting them without user intervention. The processor monitors image quality, compares it with reference data, and autonomously determines when to revert resolution settings, eliminating the need for users to manually check for or correct resolution issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual mechanical operations with automated electronic processing. Instead of requiring users to physically check image quality and manually adjust settings, the processor uses electronic comparison of image data to automatically detect and correct resolution issues, simplifying user interaction while adding intelligent control functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If the display device maintains original resolution to ensure image quality, then the reliability is improved, but the adaptability to different content requirements deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage quality consistencyVSAvoidresolution flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies dynamics by making the resolution setting flexible and changeable based on real-time image quality conditions. Rather than being fixed at the original resolution or fully variable, the system dynamically adjusts resolution based on detected image quality, allowing it to adapt to different content requirements while maintaining reliability when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes parameter changes by modifying the resolution parameter based on image quality conditions. The processor changes the resolution setting from the original value when image quality degradation is detected, allowing the display to adapt to different content requirements while maintaining reliability through conditional parameter adjustment rather than fixed settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Provided is a display device including: an inputter/outputter comprising circuitry configured to request a content providing device to provide content at a first resolution and receive a first image at the first resolution from the content providing device, a display configured to display the first image, a memory storing one or more instructions, and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to: change a resolution requested to the content providing device from the first resolution to a second resolution, control the display to receive a second image from the content providing device and display the received second image in response to the change of the requested resolution, determine whether an error occurs in the displayed second image, and change the requested resolution from the second resolution to the first resolution based on an error occurring in the second image.
