Solution Overview

Problem

Users are required to manually adjust display settings in the OSD menu each time they switch between different applications or games, which is tedious and time-consuming.

Innovation Solution

A processing system that automatically loads display options into the OSD menu based on application and model information, utilizing a cloud server or computer to provide recommended options, and updates the display settings accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users manually adjust display settings in the OSD menu each time they switch between applications, then the display settings can be customized for each application, but the operation time and user effort increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay settings customizationVSAvoidadjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting the application type and pre-configuring the corresponding display settings from stored templates before the user needs them. The processing unit retrieves and applies the appropriate display option set based on the running application, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust settings each time they switch applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The display device serves itself by automatically detecting which application is running and autonomously selecting and applying the corresponding display settings. The processing unit monitors application execution and automatically loads the appropriate option set without requiring user intervention, making the system self-configuring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Stability of the object's composition

If users manually adjust display settings back to original settings after each application ends, then the display returns to default state, but the repeated manual operations are tedious and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay settings consistencyVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system stores the original display settings in advance as a default option set. When an application ends, the processing unit automatically retrieves and reapplies this pre-stored original setting, ensuring the display returns to its default state without requiring user action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The display device automatically restores its original settings after application termination without user intervention. The processing unit monitors application end events and autonomously reverts to the default display configuration, making the system self-managing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Extent of automation

If the system automatically loads display options based on application detection, then user operations are reduced, but the system complexity increases due to automatic detection and cloud server integration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic option loadingVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a cloud server as an intermediary that stores multiple display option sets corresponding to different applications. The processing unit communicates with this external server to retrieve appropriate settings, externalizing the complexity from the display device itself while maintaining automatic functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The processing unit is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as the display controller and as the application detector that automatically triggers setting changes. This consolidated approach manages complexity by using existing components for multiple purposes rather than adding separate dedicated systems.

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

AI summary

The display device (100), processing system (10) and method for automatic loading options into an OSD menu (320) are provided. The system includes a computer (200) and a display (100). The computer (200) executes an application (211) and outputs video signals. The display (100), connected to the computer (200), features an OSD (On-Screen Display) menu (320) with model information (122). This OSD menu (320) contains multiple groups of display options (321), whose combination of option contents forms the original display set (121). Upon receiving video signals, the display (100) generates a download request (131) based on model information (122) and the application (211), sending this request to the computer (200) to obtain at least one recommended option (221). The display (100) then updates the original display set (121) to the recommended option (221) and displays the application's interface (310) using this option.
