Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies require manual configuration of screen coordinates for extended displays, which can be cumbersome and inefficient, especially when using wireless or wired solutions, as they lack automatic adjustment mechanisms to adapt to changing relative positions between primary and secondary screens.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a system that uses directional beams, beamforming, or location identification to automatically configure and adjust the screen coordinates of secondary displays relative to primary displays, allowing for seamless alignment and extension of display screens based on their physical positions, using both wireless and wired communication paths.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual configuration of screen coordinates is used, then configuration accuracy can be achieved, but operation complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecoordinate configuration accuracyVSAvoidconfiguration operation simplicity

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects the relative position between primary and secondary displays and configures screen coordinates without user intervention. The coordinate configuration process serves itself by using the detected physical positions to automatically set the appropriate coordinate system, eliminating the need for manual configuration while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary detection of the relative position between displays before configuration is needed. By预先 detecting the spatial relationship and pre-configuring the coordinate system based on detected positions, the system prepares the optimal configuration in advance, avoiding manual adjustment later.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If manual configuration of screen coordinates is used, then configuration precision can be achieved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 2:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If automatic coordinate configuration is implemented, then ease of operation improves, but adaptability to changing positions is required

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconfiguration operation simplicityVSAvoidadaptability to position changes

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts the coordinate configuration based on the detected relative position between displays. When displays are moved or repositioned, the system detects the new spatial relationship and automatically adjusts the coordinate system accordingly, making the configuration flexible and adaptive rather than static.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors the relative position between primary and secondary displays and uses this feedback to automatically adjust the coordinate configuration. The detected position information feeds back into the configuration process, enabling the system to adapt to changing physical arrangements without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

4Productivity

If automatic coordinate configuration is implemented, then productivity improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconfiguration efficiencyVSAvoidconfiguration system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual mechanical configuration operations with automated detection and calculation based on relative position. Instead of requiring users to manually set coordinates, the system uses position detection and automatic coordinate system selection to configure displays, substituting complex manual procedures with automated computational processes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
