Picture Mode Refreshing for Real-Time Content Type Switching

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display apparatuses with Dolby Vision IQ fail to provide real-time synchronization between picture mode settings menus and video content when content types are switched, requiring manual user intervention for menu updates, leading to poor viewing experience.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus and method that automatically detects content type changes and updates picture quality settings in the menu by obtaining predefined parameter information from preset data, ensuring real-time synchronization without user pause.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual menu refreshing is required to update picture quality settings, then users can access picture mode settings menu, but real-time synchronization between menu and video content is unavailable and operations become complicated

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemenu updating operationVSAvoidtime for manual menu refreshing

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects content type changes and updates picture quality parameters without user intervention. The controller monitors video content type and autonomously refreshes the picture mode settings menu with appropriate parameters, eliminating the need for manual user operations to keep the menu synchronized with current video content.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the controller continuously monitors the video content type and automatically adjusts picture quality parameters based on detected content changes. This closed-loop feedback ensures the menu remains synchronized with the current video content type without requiring user action.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If manual menu refreshing is required to update picture quality settings, then users can access picture mode settings menu, but viewing experience deteriorates due to lag and complicated operations

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemenu updating operationVSAvoidreal-time synchronization between menu and video content

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects content type changes and updates picture quality parameters without user intervention. The controller monitors video content type and autonomously refreshes the picture mode settings menu with appropriate parameters, eliminating the need for manual user operations to keep the menu synchronized with current video content.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the controller continuously monitors the video content type and automatically adjusts picture quality parameters based on detected content changes. This closed-loop feedback ensures the menu remains synchronized with the current video content type without requiring user action.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Extent of automation

If automatic detection of content type changes is implemented, then real-time synchronization of picture quality settings is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveautomatic menu updatingVSAvoidcontent type detection and parameter updating mechanism

Core Design Contradiction:

Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The controller performs multiple functions including video playback control, content type detection, picture quality parameter management, and menu updating. By consolidating these functions into a single controller, the system achieves automatic real-time synchronization without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges content type detection, parameter matching, and menu updating operations into an integrated automated process. The controller combines these previously separate functions into a unified workflow that automatically detects content changes and updates picture quality settings in real-time without requiring separate manual operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Provided are a refreshing method and a display apparatus. The method includes: presenting a video on a display of the display apparatus; detecting whether a content type of the video is switched from a first content type to a second content type; obtaining first picture quality parameter information matching the second content type from preset data of the display apparatus, wherein the preset data includes a predefined relation between a content type and picture quality parameter information, updating the parameter of the at least one picture quality setting option in the picture mode settings menu according to the first picture quality parameter information, and presenting the second section of the video according to the updated parameter of the at least one picture quality setting option in the picture mode settings menu.
