Solution Overview

Problem

Different types of displays exhibit varying display characteristics, leading to inconsistent color representation when the same video data is input, affecting the user's viewing experience.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a first and a second color gamut compensator, each loading a respective look-up table to convert the color gamut of video data, with one compensator in an idle state assisting the active compensator to enhance color gamut conversion efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple color gamut compensators are used to improve color representation accuracy, then color gamut conversion precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor gamut conversion precisionVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple color gamut compensators into a unified system where they work cooperatively. The first and second color gamut compensators share common functionality and can process video data through different pathways, merging their capabilities to achieve higher color conversion precision while managing device complexity through integrated design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The color gamut compensators are designed with multi-functionality, where each compensator can operate independently or in conjunction with the other. The system can adaptively select which compensator to use based on the video data requirements, allowing a single device structure to serve multiple color conversion purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Speed

If color gamut compensators operate continuously to maintain readiness, then color conversion speed is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor conversion speedVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic operation modes for the color gamut compensators. The system can switch between active and idle states based on processing needs, allowing the compensators to be fully operational when high color conversion speed is required and to enter low-power states when processing demands are lower, thus balancing speed and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs periodic activation of the color gamut compensators rather than continuous operation. The compensators are activated in cycles or on-demand based on the incoming video data requirements, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining adequate color conversion speed through timed processing bursts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
