Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for multi-screen image data processing are inadequate, as they fail to meet user demands for enhanced display effects while maintaining low costs, particularly when multiple displays are involved, due to the limitations of existing ASIC chips being connected to only one display.
Innovation Solution
A multi-screen data processing method and electronic device design that utilizes a control chip with toggle switches to enable one ASIC chip to provide processed image data to multiple displays, optimizing connections and data transmission to achieve enhanced visual effects across all screens without increasing chip count.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If one ASIC chip is connected to only one display, then the display effect is enhanced and optimized, but the device complexity and cost increase when multiple displays are involved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by enabling a single ASIC chip to serve multiple display screens through dynamic connection control. The control chip switches the ASIC chip between different display interfaces, allowing one ASIC chip to provide enhanced image data processing for multiple displays, thereby reducing the total number of ASIC chips needed while maintaining enhanced display effects across all screens.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics through the use of a control chip with toggle switches that dynamically change the connection relationships between the ASIC chip and multiple displays. The connection topology is not fixed but can be reconfigured based on which display needs enhanced processing at any given moment, allowing the system to adapt to different operational scenarios.
2Reliability
If multiple ASIC chips are used for multiple displays, then each display receives optimized image data, but the cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control chip acts as a universal controller that manages multiple display interfaces and dynamically allocates the ASIC chip's processing capabilities to different displays as needed. This eliminates the need for each display to have a dedicated ASIC chip, reducing the quantity of ASIC chips from N (for N displays) to just one shared resource.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates virtual connections where the same ASIC chip is logically connected to multiple displays through the control chip's switching mechanism. Rather than having physical dedicated connections, the ASIC chip's output is copied and routed to different displays at different times through the toggle switches, achieving the effect of multiple connections with a single physical chip.
3Quantity of substance
If a toggle switch is added to enable one ASIC chip to serve multiple displays, then the device complexity increases slightly, but the overall system cost is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The control chip serves as an intermediary between the ASIC chip and multiple displays. It manages the complexity of connection control by providing a centralized switching mechanism that simplifies the overall system architecture. Rather than having complex direct connections between the ASIC chip and each display, the control chip mediates these connections through standardized interfaces and toggle switches.
