Multi-display Image Splitting for Bezel Compensation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In multi-display device environments, images spanning across multiple screens can become distorted due to the bezels and spaces between display devices, disrupting a contiguous view of the user interface.
Innovation Solution
A system that detects the number of display screens, splits images into sub-images based on bezel size, resizes them according to each screen's dimensions, and transmits these sub-images to individual screens, effectively excluding bezel portions and maintaining a unified interface across multiple displays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If images are displayed across multiple display screens without modification, then the user interface can be viewed on multiple screens, but the image becomes distorted due to bezels and spaces between screens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides a single image into multiple sub-images, each corresponding to a specific display screen. The image processing system segments the original image based on the number of detected display screens, ensuring each sub-image is optimized for its target screen while excluding bezel areas, thereby preventing distortion when displayed across multiple screens
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different processing parameters to different regions of the image. Each sub-image is resized and positioned according to the specific characteristics of its target display screen, including accounting for varying bezel sizes and screen dimensions. This localized processing ensures optimal display quality on each individual screen while maintaining overall image coherence
2Manufacturing precision
If the image is split into sub-images to account for bezel size, then the visual continuity is improved, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary detection of the display environment, including the number of screens and their bezel characteristics, before generating the sub-images. By pre-processing the image segmentation and resizing operations based on detected screen configurations, the system establishes visual continuity without requiring complex real-time adjustments during display
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements an automated image processing system that autonomously detects the multi-display configuration, calculates appropriate sub-image dimensions, and performs the segmentation and resizing operations without manual intervention. The system self-adjusts to different screen arrangements and bezel sizes, reducing the need for complex user configuration while maintaining visual continuity

AI summary
A system for modifying a user interface in a multi-display device environment described herein can include a processor and a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to detect a number of display screens coupled to the system. The plurality of instructions can also cause the processor to split an image to generate sub-images based on the number of display screens and a bezel size corresponding to each of the display screens, the sub-images to exclude portions of the image corresponding to the bezel size of each of the display screens. Additionally, the plurality of instructions can cause the processor to resize each of the sub-images based on a display size of each of the display screens and display the image by transmitting the sub-images to the display screens.
