Modular Display Assemblies for Flexible Data Output
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display technologies lack flexibility and diversity in outputting display data from processing apparatuses, as they are typically set up in a single manner, limiting the ability to display data in various formats and orientations.
Innovation Solution
A data output apparatus and system that includes a detachable connection device to maintain positional relationships between the apparatus and processing device, a communication device for receiving display data, and a display device with multiple assemblies that can output data in different formats and orientations, allowing for flexible and diversified display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single display device is used to output display data, then the device structure is simple, but the display flexibility and diversity are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into multiple independent display assemblies (first display assembly, second display assembly, etc.), each capable of independently displaying content. This segmentation allows different display assemblies to be activated based on different scenarios, providing display flexibility without requiring a completely complex system redesign.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple display assemblies are integrated into a single data output apparatus, where each assembly can serve different display needs (e.g., different orientations, resolutions, or content types). This multi-functionality approach enables the apparatus to adapt to various display scenarios while maintaining a unified device structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display assemblies are used to increase display diversity, then the display flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple display assemblies are merged into a single integrated data output apparatus that connects to one processing apparatus. The assemblies share common control and connection interfaces, which reduces the overall system complexity compared to having separate display devices while still maintaining display diversity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically selects and activates specific display assemblies based on the display requirements and power availability. This dynamic control allows the apparatus to present a simple structure when only one assembly is needed while providing access to multiple assemblies when diversity is required, effectively managing the complexity-diversity trade-off.
3Productivity
If all display assemblies operate simultaneously, then the display capability is maximized, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of always operating all display assemblies at full capacity, the system activates only the necessary number and type of assemblies based on current display requirements. This partial action approach maintains adequate display capability while significantly reducing power consumption during normal operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system periodically assesses power availability and display requirements to dynamically adjust which display assemblies are active. When power is limited, less power-intensive assemblies are prioritized or assemblies are cycled, ensuring continuous operation while managing power consumption effectively.
