Master Display Contact Data for Automatic Slave Layouts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional large screen displays require manual programming of slave displays, which is time-consuming and impractical, especially for arrangements larger than 3×3 displays, and lack automatic configuration methods for arbitrary setups.
Innovation Solution
A master display system that automatically identifies and configures the positions of slave displays using contact data exchange between displays, allowing for efficient setup of any display arrangement through a control system that processes image data based on positional data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual programming is used to configure slave display locations, then configuration accuracy is ensured, but configuration time and operational complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-configuration where slave displays automatically report their locations to the master display through identification components. The master display receives location information from slave displays and automatically generates the configuration setup, eliminating the need for manual programming while maintaining accurate configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where slave displays send location information back to the master display through identification components. The master display processes this feedback information and automatically configures the slave displays' positions, replacing manual configuration processes.
2Productivity
If automatic configuration methods are implemented, then configuration time is reduced, but device complexity increases due to additional identification components
Solution Approach 1:
The identification components serve multiple functions: they detect the presence of slave displays, determine their locations, and enable automatic configuration. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate complex systems while achieving automatic configuration capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The identification components act as intermediaries between slave displays and the master display, facilitating automatic location reporting and configuration. These components simplify the communication protocol by providing standardized location identification without requiring complex interaction mechanisms.
3Ease of operation
If conventional automatic methods are used for small arrangements, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability to large and arbitrary arrangements is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts to any display arrangement configuration through the identification components that automatically detect slave display positions. Whether the arrangement is a small fixed configuration or a large arbitrary layout, the system processes location information and generates appropriate configuration setups automatically.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the configuration process into independent location detection and configuration generation steps. Each slave display's location is independently identified, and the master display processes these individual location data points to create the overall configuration, enabling scalability from small to large arrangements.
