Solution Overview

Problem

Current display devices transmit high-resolution contents regardless of the user's environment, leading to unnecessary resource wastage and inefficient data usage, as users cannot distinguish between good and poor display quality beyond a certain resolution level, and different environments may require lower resolutions.

Innovation Solution

A display device and system that transmit resolution control signals to adjust content resolutions based on the user's environment, using sensors to detect changes in display mode and environment, ensuring optimal display quality by adjusting text, image, and video resolutions accordingly, and connected via a wireless network.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If high-resolution contents are transmitted regardless of use environment, then display quality is improved, but data usage efficiency deteriorates and resource wastage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoiddata usage efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts content resolution based on real-time sensing of use environment conditions (display mode, orientation, viewing distance) rather than transmitting fixed high-resolution contents. The resolution control signal varies dynamically to match actual display requirements, optimizing the balance between display quality and data efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the resolution parameter of transmitted contents based on detected use environment conditions. When sensing indicates portable or distant viewing conditions, the system transmits lower resolution contents; when fixed or close viewing conditions are detected, higher resolution contents are transmitted, thus adapting the resolution parameter to actual needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If high-resolution contents are transmitted for all environments, then display quality is improved, but communication bandwidth utilization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidcommunication bandwidth utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The communication bandwidth utilization is optimized by dynamically adjusting content resolution based on sensed use environment. The system transitions between different resolution levels (high, medium, low) according to real-time conditions, ensuring bandwidth is used efficiently without sacrificing necessary display quality for each specific context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The resolution parameter of transmitted contents is changed based on use environment detection. The system selectively transmits high-resolution contents only when necessary (fixed display mode, close viewing), and lower resolution contents when sufficient (portable mode, distant viewing), thus optimizing communication bandwidth utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If resolution is increased beyond user distinction capability, then display quality is improved, but resource wastage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidresource wastage
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by transmitting only the resolution level necessary for each use context rather than always transmitting maximum resolution. When sensing indicates portable or distant viewing, it transmits lower resolution contents that are sufficient for that context, avoiding the excessive transmission of high-resolution data that cannot be distinguished by users in those conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

4Measurement precision

If fixed high-resolution contents are transmitted, then display quality is improved, but adaptability to different environments deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidenvironmental adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves environmental adaptability through dynamic resolution adjustment based on sensed conditions. It transitions between different resolution levels (high, medium, low) according to detected use environment such as display mode and viewing conditions, making the content delivery adaptable rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The resolution parameter of transmitted contents is changed according to use environment detection. The system adapts by transmitting high-resolution contents for fixed display mode and low-resolution contents for portable mode, thus achieving versatility across different environments while maintaining appropriate display quality for each context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A display device is connected to a contents providing device via a network. The display device includes a display unit that displays contents; and a display controller that controls a contents display operation of the display unit. The display controller transmits a resolution control signal to the contents providing device, and receives contents data that is converted in response to the resolution control signal from the contents providing device.
