Problem

Existing display control systems fail to provide an overall sense of unity among multiple display devices due to differences in physical size, resolution, luminance, and color tone, leading to decreased visibility and occupant discomfort.

Innovation Solution

A display control system that includes an obtainer to gather device information, a calculator to determine correction values for each display device, and a display to adjust images across multiple devices based on these values, ensuring uniformity in display characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple display devices with different physical sizes, resolutions, luminance, and color tone are used, then display versatility and coverage are improved, but display unity and visual consistency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay versatilityVSAvoiddisplay unity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes display parameters (luminance, color tone, resolution, physical size) of each display device to match a reference display device. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system maintains visual consistency across diverse display devices, resolving the contradiction between versatility and unity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system obtains actual display device information from each display device and uses this feedback to calculate appropriate correction values. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that adjustments are based on real device characteristics, maintaining display unity while supporting diverse hardware configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If display devices with different characteristics are used, then system adaptability is improved, but image quality consistency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem adaptabilityVSAvoidimage quality consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system adjusts image quality parameters (luminance, color tone, resolution) for each display device based on its characteristics. By dynamically changing these parameters, the system maintains consistent image quality across devices with different manufacturing specifications, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The image generation device acts as an intermediary that processes and adjusts images before sending them to display devices. It calculates correction values based on device information and applies appropriate adjustments, serving as a mediator that ensures image quality consistency across diverse display hardware.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If correction values are calculated for each display device, then display consistency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay consistencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image generation device performs multiple functions: obtaining device information, calculating correction values, generating images, and transmitting corrected images. By consolidating these functions in a single device, the system achieves display consistency without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system calculates correction values by comparing each display device's parameters against a reference device and applies these corrections systematically. This parameter-based approach provides a unified method for managing multiple display devices, reducing complexity compared to device-specific customization approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A display control system includes an obtainer that obtains display device information on each of display devices, a calculator that calculates a correction value corresponding to each of the display devices, on the basis of the display device information, and a display that generates an image to be displayed across two or more display devices among the display devices. The display corrects the image to be displayed across the two or more display devices, on the basis of the correction value corresponding to each of the two or more display devices, and displays, across the two or more display devices, the image corrected.
