Display System Viewer Count Dynamic Content Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In a system with a large main monitor and multiple sub-monitors, existing technologies limit opportunities for viewers to experience a variety of video content, as the main monitor displays content reflecting its viewers' preferences, while sub-monitors fail to provide diverse content even when the main monitor has a high viewership.
Innovation Solution
A display system that includes a main display unit, subordinate display units, a detection unit to count viewers, and a control unit that switches sub-monitor content to match the main monitor's content when the main monitor has a sufficient number of viewers, and switches sub-monitor content to differ from others when the main monitor's viewership is low.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the main monitor displays content reflecting viewers' preferences and each sub-monitor displays content reflecting its own viewers' preferences, then the display content matches viewer preferences, but there are few opportunities to give viewers a variety of video content
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the display content strategy based on real-time viewer count conditions. When the main monitor has a sufficient number of viewers, sub-monitors switch to displaying the same content as the main monitor. When the main monitor has few viewers, sub-monitors display different content to provide variety. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between matching preferences and providing variety.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the content display parameter (same content vs. different content) based on the viewer count parameter of the main monitor. By monitoring the viewer count and adjusting the content display strategy accordingly, the system achieves both preference matching and content variety.
2Adaptability or versatility
If sub-monitors display different content to provide variety, then viewers get diverse video content, but popular content reflected on the main monitor is not shared with sub-monitor viewers
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between two content display modes for sub-monitors based on viewer count conditions. When the main monitor has sufficient viewers, sub-monitors display the same popular content to ensure content sharing. When the main monitor has few viewers, sub-monitors display different content to provide variety. This dynamic mode switching resolves the contradiction between content variety and popular content sharing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the main monitor displays content based on its viewers' preferences, then the content is popular with main monitor viewers, but sub-monitors with fewer viewers miss out on this popular content
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different content display strategies to different sub-monitors based on their local conditions (viewer count). When the main monitor has sufficient viewers, sub-monitors locally display the same popular content. When the main monitor has few viewers, sub-monitors locally display different content. This local quality adjustment optimizes content distribution efficiency while maintaining preference-based content selection.

AI summary
A display system includes a main display unit configured to display a video; a plurality of subordinate display units configured to display a plurality of videos, respectively; a detection unit configured to detect the number of viewers of the main display unit and the respective numbers of viewers of the plurality of subordinate display units; and a control unit. The control unit is configured to switch a video displayed on a subordinate display unit of the plurality of subordinate display units to the same video as a video displayed on the main display unit when the number of viewers of the main display unit detected by the detection unit is equal to or more than a first predetermined value and the number of viewers of the subordinate display unit is less than a second predetermined value.
