Dynamic Audio Resource Selection for Multi-Display Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current computer devices with multiple displays face challenges in dynamically managing camera orientations and resource selection based on changing device configurations, leading to inconsistent image preview mirroring and audio resource usage.
Innovation Solution
The system dynamically determines the orientation of device portions based on sensor information and selects appropriate microphones and cameras by associating physical location information with static and dynamic orientations, updating preview images and audio resources accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the device uses static camera orientation assignment based on physical location, then the system complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different device configurations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic camera orientation assignment by continuously monitoring device configuration states (folded, unfolded, rotated) and automatically adjusting which camera serves which function. The system transitions from static to dynamic resource allocation, allowing camera roles to change based on real-time device state while maintaining manageable complexity through automated control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the device dynamically adjusts camera and audio resource selection based on device orientation, then the adaptability to different configurations is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs feedback mechanisms by continuously sensing device configuration state (through sensors detecting fold/unfold positions and rotation angles) and using this information to dynamically adjust camera and audio resource selection. This closed-loop control enables adaptive resource allocation while keeping the complexity manageable through automated decision-making based on sensor feedback.
3Reliability
If the device uses multiple microphones for audio capture, then the audio quality is improved, but the difficulty of selecting appropriate audio resources increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically selecting appropriate microphones based on device configuration state without requiring manual user intervention. The operating system monitors device state and autonomously determines which microphones are optimally positioned for audio capture, thereby improving audio quality while eliminating the complexity of manual audio resource selection.
