Low Power Content Integration Engine for Always-On Display Compatibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices with always-on display (AOD) mode are limited in compatibility, as only pre-defined applications and widgets can be displayed, and incompatible content often results in reduced display rate, color depth, and brightness.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a Low Power Content Integration (LPCI) engine that determines content characteristics, performs compatibility checks, and transforms content to be displayed on a low power display (LPD) with Low Power Touch (LPT) enabled, using neural networks for classification and adaptation, allowing a wider range of content to be compatible with AOD mode.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If pre-defined applications and widgets are displayed on AOD mode, then power consumption is reduced, but content compatibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes display parameters (brightness, refresh rate, color depth) dynamically based on content characteristics and power mode settings. The LPCI engine analyzes content and adjusts display parameters to maintain compatibility across different power modes while preserving visual quality where possible.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system transitions from static AOD mode to a dynamic multi-mode system that can adapt between different power modes (AOD, LPT, full display) based on content requirements and user interactions. The LPCI engine continuously monitors and adjusts display behavior in real-time.
2Use of energy by moving object
If display rate, color depth and brightness are reduced for incompatible content on AOD, then power consumption is reduced, but display quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different display quality settings to different regions or portions of content based on their compatibility characteristics. Compatible content portions maintain higher brightness and quality, while incompatible portions are rendered at lower power settings, creating a differentiated quality approach.
Solution Approach 2:
The LPCI engine dynamically adjusts display parameters (brightness, refresh rate, color depth) based on content analysis results. When incompatible content is detected, specific parameters are modified to balance power savings with acceptable display quality, rather than uniformly reducing all parameters.
3Use of energy by moving object
If display parameters are reduced for incompatible content, then power consumption is reduced, but user interaction capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between AOD mode with limited interaction and LPT mode with enhanced interaction capabilities. When user interaction is detected or required, the system transitions to LPT mode which provides improved touch sensitivity and responsiveness while maintaining lower power consumption compared to full display mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The LPT mode serves as an intermediary state between AOD and full display modes, providing enhanced user interaction capabilities for incompatible content without fully activating the high-power display mode. This intermediate mode balances power consumption with usability requirements.
