Modular Multi-Screen Display Synchronization via Remote Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing advertising display technologies face challenges in efficiently updating and synchronizing dynamic advertising across multiple screens, particularly at corners and edges, leading to high economic costs, environmental waste, and limited adaptability, as they rely on physical motors and are not easily recyclable.
Innovation Solution
A modular multi-screen display system with a prismatic chassis that synchronizes flat and curved screens using a modem for real-time connectivity to a remote server, allowing seamless updates and synchronization of advertising across interior and exterior displays, including corners and edges, without the need for physical human intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If physical motors and roller posters are used for advertising display, then the display can change advertising posters, but the system generates large amounts of waste (cardboard, paper, plastic) and requires significant economic resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical posters with digital screens that display advertising content. Instead of using actual paper and cardboard posters that are constantly replaced and discarded, the system uses electronic displays that can show unlimited variations of advertising content without physical material consumption, thereby eliminating waste while maintaining advertising adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical roller poster system with an electronic display system. The mechanical motors and roller mechanisms that physically handle and display posters are replaced with electronic screens controlled by a server, eliminating the need for physical material handling while maintaining the ability to change advertising content dynamically
2Area of stationary object
If multiple screens are used to display advertising, then the display coverage is increased, but the synchronization of screens and updates of dynamic advertising becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a centralized server that controls multiple screens uniformly. The server receives advertising content and distributes it to all screens in the system, allowing different screens (interior and exterior) to function as part of a single coordinated display unit. This universal control mechanism simplifies synchronization while maintaining extensive display coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a real-time communication system between the server and screens that enables continuous synchronization. The server monitors and coordinates display content across all screens, ensuring that advertising updates are reflected simultaneously throughout the display system, thereby managing complexity through centralized coordination
3Adaptability or versatility
If physical posters are replaced frequently to keep advertising up-to-date, then the advertising remains current, but the economic resources and human intervention required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automated advertising update system where the server can push content updates to screens without human intervention. The system automatically retrieves new advertising content from the server and displays it on all screens, eliminating the need for manual poster replacement and reducing operational costs while maintaining current advertising
4Area of stationary object
If the display structure includes interior and exterior screens, then the advertising coverage is expanded, but the synchronization and control become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a unified control system that manages both interior and exterior screens through a single server. The server treats all screens as part of one display network, distributing control signals uniformly regardless of location. This universal approach simplifies operation by providing centralized control while expanding advertising coverage across multiple locations

AI summary
The present invention is referred to a modular multi-screen display, which allows to display advertising by any of its parts including walls, upper crosspieces, interior or exterior, that includes a chassis on which it is mounted the screens but that are synchronized between them to show one image unit in all the display body, in such a manner that the synchronization of them and the change of dynamic advertising posters that are displayed are manipulated using a modem that is connected in real time to a physical or virtual server that is located in a remote physical unit and that through this it is carried out the change of the advertising presentation on the display, regardless of whether it is inside or outside of a business. Its variant includes a set of interconnected screens either on the business furniture, on household appliances or where appropriate on the roof of the business from outside the premises.
