Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for detecting synchronization signals in displays require large and complex frequency tables, leading to complicated and slow detection processes due to the simultaneous comparison of vertical and horizontal synchronization frequencies.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that first compare the actual vertical synchronization frequency with prestored standard frequencies to select a candidate frequency within a specific error range, then compare the actual horizontal synchronization frequency with corresponding standard frequencies in a sub-table to determine the correct synchronization signal, allowing for quick and accurate detection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the standard synchronization signal table stores both standard V-sync frequencies and standard H-sync frequencies in the same table, then the table structure becomes integrated, but the capacitance requirement increases and the arrangement becomes irregular and complicated, leading to slow and complex detection procedures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetable structure complexityVSAvoiddetection speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the standard synchronization signal table into multiple sub-tables, where each sub-table stores standard H-sync frequencies corresponding to a specific standard V-sync frequency. This segmentation reduces the complexity of the overall table structure and enables faster detection by narrowing down the search scope.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary comparison of V-sync frequencies first to identify candidate frequencies within an error range, then uses these candidates to guide the subsequent H-sync frequency comparison. This preliminary action reduces the detection process to a targeted search within sub-tables, significantly improving detection speed.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the frequency table into V-sync frequency sub-tables, where each sub-table contains only the H-sync frequencies corresponding to a specific V-sync frequency. This segmentation simplifies the detection procedure by organizing data in a structured, hierarchical manner that mirrors the detection process.

AI summary

A method for detecting a synchronization signal of a display comprises: obtaining an actual V-sync frequency of the display, comparing the actual V-sync frequency with standard V-sync frequencies prestored in a standard synchronization signal table, and selecting a standard V-sync frequency as a candidate V-sync frequency so that difference between the candidate V-sync frequency and the actual V-sync frequency is within a first error range; obtaining an actual H-sync frequency of the display, comparing the actual H-sync frequency with standard H-sync frequencies in the standard horizontal synchronization signal sub-table which corresponds to the selected candidate V-sync frequency, and selecting a standard H-sync frequency as a correct H-sync frequency so that difference between the correct H-sync frequency and the actual H-sync frequency is within a second error range, thereby a resolution of the display is obtained.
