Display Apparatus Touch-Based Peripheral Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for connecting display apparatuses are complex and inconvenient, requiring users to manually search and select peripheral devices using intrinsic information, which can be cumbersome when multiple devices are present.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus and controlling method that enables communication connection with peripheral devices through sensed user inputs, such as touch signals, allowing for intuitive connection by transmitting and receiving specific touch signals to establish and maintain connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual connection process using intrinsic information is used, then connection reliability is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a camera as an intermediary device to capture images of intrinsic information (QR codes, barcodes, or device identifiers) displayed on peripheral devices. This intermediary approach allows users to connect devices by simply taking photos rather than manually searching and entering complex information, thereby maintaining connection reliability while significantly reducing operation complexity
2Measurement precision
If manual search and selection of peripheral devices is performed, then connection accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having peripheral devices automatically display their intrinsic information (QR codes, barcodes, or identifiers) before the connection process begins. This pre-display of information eliminates the need for users to manually search through device lists or check device details, allowing them to quickly capture the displayed information with a camera and establish connections immediately, thus maintaining connection accuracy while dramatically reducing time consumption
3Ease of operation
If simple touch input is used for connection, then ease of operation is improved, but connection reliability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the system provides visual confirmation (displaying QR codes, barcodes, or device identifiers on screens) and real-time status updates during the connection process. This feedback allows users to verify that they are capturing the correct information and that the connection is being established properly, thereby maintaining high ease of operation through simple touch/camera input while ensuring connection reliability through visible confirmation and error prevention

AI summary
A display apparatus and a controlling method thereof are provided. The method includes sensing a first touch, in response to the first touch being sensed, transmitting a first signal corresponding to the first touch to at least one peripheral display apparatus, receiving a second signal corresponding to a second touch from a peripheral display apparatus where the second touch corresponding to the first touch is sensed from among the at least one peripheral display apparatus, and performing communication connection with the peripheral display apparatus where the second touch is sensed, using the first signal and the second signal.
