Display System Segmented Image Barcode Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image display systems over networks require cumbersome connection processes, including manual input of identification information and lack clarity on which terminal is assigned to which display area, making them impractical for multiple image supply devices.
Innovation Solution
A display system that generates a segmented image with connection information for each area, allowing image supply devices to connect securely by imaging and transmitting connection request information, and displaying images in designated areas based on received information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual connection establishment with identification information is used, then security is ensured, but user effort and time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses two-dimensional barcodes as visual copies of connection information. Instead of manually inputting identification information, users simply capture an image of the barcode displayed on the display device, which contains all necessary connection details. This copying approach maintains security through encrypted connection information while eliminating manual input effort.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a barcode as an intermediary carrier between the display device and image supply devices. The barcode mediates the connection establishment process by encoding connection information that can be automatically read and processed, replacing direct manual information input while maintaining secure connection parameters.
2Device complexity
If individual areas are internally assigned by the display device, then connection management is simplified, but user awareness of terminal-area mapping is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses visual differentiation (analogous to color changes) by displaying unique two-dimensional barcodes in each individual area of the segmented image. Each barcode is positioned in a specific area and contains area identification information, allowing users to visually identify which terminal connects to which area without complex management overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the display area into multiple individual areas, with each area containing a distinct barcode. This segmentation allows the display device to manage multiple connections independently while providing clear visual cues to users about which area corresponds to which terminal, preserving terminal-area mapping information.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple image supply devices are connected, then display coverage is improved, but connection establishment time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-displaying two-dimensional barcodes in each individual area before connection is needed. The barcodes contain all necessary connection information in advance, so when users need to connect, they simply capture the pre-prepared barcode image rather than going through a time-consuming connection setup process for each device.

AI summary
A display system displays a received image on a display device based on image information transmitted from at least one image supply device via a network. An image generating unit generates a segmented image segmented into plural individual areas, the segmented image contains an individual connection image representing connection information for the image supply device to connect to the display device in an area correlated to one individual area of the plural individual areas. A determining unit determines whether connection is permitted or not based on the connection request information. When connection to the image supply device is permitted by the determining unit, the image generating unit generates the segmented image containing the received image based on the image information from the image supply device in the individual area.
