Image Display System Preview Block for Multi-Source Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image display systems fail to simultaneously and timely preview frames from multiple image sources, making it difficult for users to intuitively select the desired image source.
Innovation Solution
An image display system comprising a display apparatus and an image presenting apparatus with a signal receiving module, image processing module, and control unit that allows simultaneous and timely previewing of multiple image sources, enabling users to select the desired image frame through a touch apparatus, infrared remote control, or keyboard, and generates output signals in single frame, picture-in-picture, or picture-by-picture display modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the conventional image display system displays the image frame after the user selects, then the system structure is simple, but the user cannot timely preview and select the correct image source
Solution Approach 1:
The patent displays preview images of multiple image sources before the user makes a selection. The control unit obtains image signals from multiple sources, generates preview images, and displays them in a preview area, allowing users to select the desired source in advance without waiting for full image loading or switching.
2Ease of operation
If the system provides preview function of multiple image sources, then the user can intuitively select the correct image source, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display area into a main display area and a preview area. The preview area is further segmented to display multiple preview images simultaneously. This segmentation allows users to easily compare and select image sources while maintaining a clear interface structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit acts as an intermediary that obtains image signals from multiple image sources, processes them into preview images, and displays them in the preview area. This intermediary processing enables intuitive selection without requiring complex user operations or system reconfigurations.
3Loss of information
If the system displays multiple image frames simultaneously for preview, then the user can timely and intuitively select the desired image source, but the information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays preview images which are partial representations of the full image sources. These preview images provide sufficient information for user selection without requiring the system to process and display complete high-resolution images from all sources simultaneously, thus reducing information processing complexity.

AI summary
The invention provides an image display system and an image presenting method thereof. The image display system includes a display apparatus and an image presenting apparatus. The display apparatus receives an output image signal and generates an image frame. The image presenting apparatus obtains a plurality of input image signals from a plurality of image sources and generates an output image signal. The image presenting apparatus provides the output image signal to a display apparatus. The image presenting apparatus receives a preview request to simultaneously and timely present the input image signals of all the image sources in a preview block of the image frame. Also, the image presenting apparatus further receives a select request to generate the output image signal according to at least one of the input image signals that is selected.
