Display Support Detection for Color Calibration Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for manufacturing information processing apparatuses do not effectively determine whether a loaded display is supported by color calibration applications, leading to variations in color reproducibility across different displays.
Innovation Solution
A method and program that acquire display information, including product and color data, to decide support eligibility using BIOS-managed support information, creating a device node for installing color calibration applications only on supported displays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If color calibration application is installed on all displays, then color management coverage is improved, but compatibility issues arise with unsupported displays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by checking display support status before installing the color calibration application. The manufacturing apparatus queries the display device to determine if it is an object to be supported, and only then proceeds with installation. This prevents compatibility issues while ensuring color management coverage for supported displays.
2Manufacturing precision
If display support status is determined manually, then installation accuracy is improved, but manufacturing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the display device itself to provide information indicating whether it is an object to be supported. The manufacturing apparatus simply queries this information from the display device, eliminating the need for manual determination while maintaining high installation accuracy.
3Productivity
If color calibration application is installed on unsupported displays, then installation completeness is improved, but system stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of a determination step that mediates between the installation process and the display device. The manufacturing apparatus acts as an intermediary that verifies display support status before allowing installation, preventing stability issues while maintaining installation completeness for supported displays.

AI summary
The present disclosure aims to readily decide whether a display is the one which is supported by a color calibration application. A method of manufacturing an information processing apparatus mainly includes the acquisition step (SA1) of acquiring, from a display which is to be loaded or is loaded on a main body of the information processing apparatus, display information which includes product information and color data on the display, the decision step (SA3) of deciding whether the display is an object to be supported on the basis of a plurality of pieces of support information that the product information on the display and additional information which indicates whether a predetermined color calibration application is to be supported are mutually correlated and the display information which is acquired, the device node creation step (SA4) of creating a predetermined device node which relates to installation of the color calibration application in a case where the display is the object to be supported, and the installation step (SA6) of installing the color calibration application in a case where the predetermined device node is created.
