External Input Device Resolution Conversion for Seamless Display Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional external input devices require users to change the display resolution settings when sharing images with other transmission terminals, leading to increased user operation burden and inefficiency.
Innovation Solution
A transmission system that includes a resolution acquisition unit, a resolution modification unit, and a resolution information transmission unit in the transmission terminal, and a resolution conversion unit and display data transmission unit in the external input device, allowing the external input device to automatically adjust and transmit display data without requiring user intervention to match the resolution of the receiving terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the external input device transmits display data with its native resolution, then the image quality is maintained, but the transmission terminal cannot display the image properly due to resolution mismatch
Solution Approach 1:
The external input device automatically changes the resolution parameter of display data to match the receiving terminal's display capabilities. The resolution conversion unit transforms the native resolution into a compatible resolution based on the terminal's supported resolutions, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining image quality and ensuring resolution compatibility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the user manually changes the resolution settings of the external input device to match the transmission terminal, then the resolution compatibility is improved, but the user operation burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The external input device performs self-service by automatically acquiring the transmission terminal's resolution information and converting its display data resolution without user intervention. The resolution conversion unit operates autonomously based on received resolution information, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust settings and thereby reducing operation burden while maintaining compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by having the transmission terminal send its resolution information back to the external input device. The external input device uses this feedback information to automatically adjust its output resolution, creating a closed-loop system that ensures compatibility without requiring user configuration.
3Ease of operation
If the external input device automatically converts resolution without user intervention, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The resolution conversion unit acts as an intermediary between the external input device's display output and the transmission terminal's display input. It mediates the resolution mismatch by automatically transforming the data format, enabling seamless communication between devices with different resolution capabilities while maintaining simplicity for the end user.

AI summary
A transmission system includes an external input device which transmits display data to a transmission terminal that is connected to another transmission terminal to be able to communicate therewith. Once the resolution on a display device of the transmission terminal has been modified, the external input device receives first resolution information representing the resolution that has been modified from the transmission terminal, and thereafter converts the resolution of the display data based on the first resolution information and second resolution information representing the resolution on a display device of the external input device. The external input device then transmits the display data that has the converted resolution to the transmission terminal so that the transmission terminal transmits the display data to the other transmission terminal.
