Display Apparatus Integrated RF Modem Tuner Space Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display apparatuses face increased installation and manufacturing costs due to the need for multiple RF modems and tuners to process broadcasting and EPG signals, leading to higher cable installation costs and increased interior space.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus design that integrates an RF modem with a single tuner, reducing the need for additional RF modems and tuners, and optimizing cable installation by incorporating a frequency signal processing unit within the RF modem to efficiently process broadcasting signals, thereby minimizing cable requirements and space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional display apparatus uses separate RF modem and tuner with cable connections, then broadcasting signals can be received and processed, but installation cost of cables increases and interior space of display apparatus increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the RF modem and tuner into a single integrated module, eliminating the need for separate cable connections between these components. This merging reduces the interior space required for cable installation while maintaining the full functionality of signal reception and processing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional display apparatus uses additional RF modem for external device connection, then connectivity with external devices is enabled, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated RF modem-tuner module is designed with universal functionality that can handle both internal display apparatus operations and external device connections. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for additional RF modems, reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining adaptability to various connection scenarios.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional display apparatus uses one tuner for both broadcasting signal and EPG signal processing, then manufacturing cost of tuner increases, but this approach is already taken in the patent
Solution Approach 1:
The tuner within the integrated module is designed with universal processing capability that can handle both broadcasting signals and EPG signals simultaneously. This multi-functional tuner design reduces the need for multiple separate tuners, thereby lowering manufacturing costs while maintaining the complexity required for dual signal processing.
