Dynamic Display Resolution Management for Immersed Environments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional information handling systems require users to manually select and manage input and output devices, leading to suboptimal interactions due to changing contexts and underutilization of available resources, resulting in a degraded user experience.
Innovation Solution
An immersed information handling system environment that coordinates input and output devices to adapt to the user's context and processing needs, using projected user interfaces, capacitive sensors, and cameras to track interactions and resources, providing automated selection and efficient power management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually select and manage input and output devices, then device compatibility and control flexibility are maintained, but user interaction efficiency deteriorates and user experience degrades
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects user context (location, tasks, environmental conditions) and autonomously selects appropriate I/O devices and configurations without requiring manual user intervention. The system serves itself by monitoring its own state and adapting the I/O environment proactively.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors user interactions, contextual factors, and device performance, then uses this feedback to dynamically adjust I/O device selection and configuration. This closed-loop control enables the system to learn from user behavior and optimize interactions over time.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a particular I/O device configuration is selected, then interaction simplicity is improved, but adaptability to changing contexts deteriorates and resources become underutilized
Solution Approach 1:
The I/O device configuration transitions from static to dynamic, automatically adjusting to changing user contexts such as location, tasks, and environmental conditions. The system continuously adapts the active I/O devices based on real-time contextual analysis rather than requiring manual reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a universal I/O management layer that coordinates multiple different input and output devices, allowing a single system to handle diverse device types and configurations through unified contextual management rather than device-specific control.
3Productivity
If multiple I/O resources are made available, then system versatility is improved, but coordination difficulty increases and resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary I/O management layer that sits between the user/context and the physical I/O devices. This mediator analyzes contextual requirements and intelligently routes interactions to appropriate devices, coordinating multiple resources without exposing complexity to the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the functionality of multiple I/O devices into a coordinated unified system, where devices work together synergistically based on contextual needs rather than operating independently, maximizing resource utilization through combined capabilities.

AI summary
A display device presents visual information with native and non-native resolutions stored in EDID and provided to a graphics controller. Non-native resolutions are generated in response to an object detected that interferes with the presenting of the visual information, such as an object between a projector and projection surface or an object placed on a capacitive mat display. The non-native resolutions present the visual information to avoid the object and are stored in EDID in association with object characteristics to allow re-use of the non-native resolutions when visual information at the display is blocked by an object with similar characteristics.
