Solution Overview

Problem

Existing monitor systems face challenges such as high cost, complex structure design, low control accuracy, and a low level of intelligence in controlling the displaying process.

Innovation Solution

A monitor system that includes a controlling module, a processing module, and a display, where the controlling module sends human-machine interaction interface information and background picture information to the processing module via a same channel, allowing the processing module to process video image information, human-machine interaction interface information, and background picture information, and output target image information to the display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If external storage devices are used to store background picture information, then the monitor system can display background pictures, but the system cost increases and structure design becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay functionVSAvoidstructure design

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the background picture storage function into the controlling module by incorporating a storage region directly within the controlling module. This merging eliminates the need for separate external storage devices, thereby reducing system complexity and cost while maintaining the ability to store and display background pictures.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The controlling module is designed to perform multiple functions: it controls the display device, processes video image information, and stores background picture information. By making the controlling module universal and multi-functional, the patent eliminates the need for dedicated external storage devices, simplifying the overall system structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If separate channels are used for transmitting human-machine interaction interface information and background picture information, then information transmission can be independent, but the system structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation transmissionVSAvoidchannel structure

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the transmission channels by using a single channel to carry both human-machine interaction interface information and background picture information. The information is multiplexed on this shared channel, eliminating the need for separate physical channels while ensuring reliable transmission through proper signal management.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple external devices are used for processing video image information, human-machine interaction interface information, and background picture information, then processing functionality is comprehensive, but the system cost and structure complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprocessing functionalityVSAvoidsystem structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processing module is designed as a universal component that can handle multiple types of information processing tasks: video image information processing, human-machine interaction interface information processing, and background picture information processing. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for multiple specialized external processing devices, reducing system complexity while maintaining comprehensive processing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple processing functions into a single processing module. Instead of using separate external devices for different processing tasks, the processing module integrates these functions, thereby reducing the number of components and simplifying the system structure while maintaining versatile processing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
