Multi-panel LED Video Wall Seamless User Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional video walls do not allow display screens to seamlessly transition from a collective video wall presentation to individual, stand-alone interactive environments for user interaction.
Innovation Solution
A multi-panel video wall system that includes a computer with access to a cloud database and interconnected video display screens, allowing one or more screens to transition from displaying collective video content to separate, interactive content based on user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If display screens work together to display a single video instance across the entire video wall, then the collective video wall presentation is maintained, but individual user interaction on specific screens is not enabled
Solution Approach 1:
The video wall is divided into multiple independent display screens that can individually transition from collective video playback to stand-alone interactive environments. Each screen maintains the ability to function both as part of the overall video wall and as an independent interactive device, resolving the contradiction between maintaining collective presentation and enabling individual interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The display screens are designed to dynamically switch between two operational states: collective video wall mode where all screens display the same content, and individual interactive mode where a specific screen provides unique user interaction. This dynamic state change allows the system to adapt between maintaining presentation integrity and enabling user interaction as needed.
2Ease of operation
If all display screens display the same video content simultaneously, then the collective video wall effect is achieved, but user engagement with individual screens is limited
Solution Approach 1:
When a user interacts with a specific display screen, that individual screen transitions to display content tailored to the user's interaction, while other screens continue displaying the collective video wall content. This local quality change allows enhanced user engagement at the point of interaction without compromising the overall video wall presentation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If display screens transition to stand-alone interactive environments, then individual user interaction is enabled, but the collective video wall presentation is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the video wall into independent display units that can individually transition to interactive modes. This segmentation allows one or more screens to provide stand-alone interactive environments while other screens maintain the collective video wall presentation, thus enabling interactivity without necessarily disrupting overall video wall consistency.
Data Source
AI summary
A video wall and system is disclosed having a computer with a memory or access to a public or private cloud containing a video file and a processor for executing the video file and a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) tiles interconnected to one another and to the computer via wired or wireless transmission, each of the plurality of LED tiles configured to work together to display a video content generated from the video file that extends across all of the plurality of LED tiles. Upon user interaction or detection of a user, one or more of the plurality of LED tiles seamlessly transitions away from the video content to display a separate video content for interaction with the user.
