Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices struggle to capture the diverse actual use environments of users, as pre-set image quality settings may not accurately reflect individual user preferences, especially in varying lighting conditions.

Innovation Solution

A server system that senses lighting information of the surrounding environment, collects data on image quality setting methods from multiple users, and identifies an optimal image quality setting value to adjust the display device's image quality accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If pre-set image quality settings are used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to individual user preferences and environments deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage quality setting complexityVSAvoidadaptability to user preferences
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically collects image quality setting data from multiple display devices, analyzes user preferences and environmental conditions, and generates optimal settings without requiring manual user input. The server performs self-service by autonomously identifying patterns and transmitting optimized settings back to devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop where image quality setting data from multiple devices is continuously collected, analyzed, and used to generate improved settings. The server receives setting data, identifies optimal configurations based on aggregated feedback, and transmits refined settings back to devices for implementation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If automatic image quality setting based on pre-set values is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but measurement precision of actual use environments deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic setting convenienceVSAvoidenvironmental sensing accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges data from multiple display devices to compensate for individual sensor limitations. By aggregating environmental sensing data and image quality setting data from numerous devices, the server creates a more precise understanding of actual use environments than any single device could achieve alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The server performs multiple functions: collecting environmental data, analyzing user preferences, identifying patterns, and generating optimized settings. This multi-functional approach allows the system to achieve both ease of operation through automation and high measurement precision through data aggregation.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If individual user image quality preferences are captured, then adaptability to user preferences is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser preference adaptationVSAvoiddata collection and processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary that handles the complex tasks of data collection, analysis, and optimization. Individual display devices simply transmit their setting data and receive optimized settings, while the server performs the computationally intensive work of aggregating data, identifying user preferences, and generating optimal configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
