Multi-View Display Buffer Control for Stable Content Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices struggle to efficiently receive and process data from multiple content sources, leading to potential disruptions in multi-view displays due to uneven buffer storage levels, which can cause screen issues like repetition or muting.
Innovation Solution
A display device with multiple buffers, a communication unit, a processor, and a memory that adjusts the transmission order of content data by identifying low storage levels in buffers and sending control signals to the transmission device to optimize data delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data from multiple content sources is received and stored in multiple buffers for multi-view display, then the display device can show multiple contents simultaneously, but buffer storage levels become uneven causing screen disruptions like repetition or muting
Solution Approach 1:
The display device monitors buffer storage levels in real-time and generates control signals to adjust transmission orders based on the monitored states, creating a feedback loop that maintains stable multi-view display by dynamically responding to buffer conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the transmission order of content data based on real-time buffer storage levels, making the data flow adaptive rather than static, which prevents buffer underflow and ensures continuous stable display
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display device receives and processes data from multiple content sources simultaneously, then multi-view functionality is enabled, but processing complexity and buffer management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides content data into separate buffers for individual management, allowing each buffer to be handled independently with specific transmission orders, which simplifies the overall management of multiple content sources
Solution Approach 2:
The display device changes the transmission order parameter of content data based on buffer storage levels, providing a simple control mechanism to manage complex multi-buffer operations without increasing system complexity

AI summary
A display device is disclosed. The device comprises: a plurality of buffers; a display; a communication unit for communicating with a transmission device; a memory; and a processor. The processor controls the display such that, when a multi-view function is selected, pieces of data of a plurality of content sources connected to the transmission device are received and stored in each of the plurality of buffers, and thus a plurality of content screens is displayed on a multi-view screen. The processor transmits a control signal for adjusting a transmission order of data to the transmission device when a buffer having a storage level that is less than a preset reference level is identified from among the plurality of buffers. Therefore, multi-view may be effectively performed.
