Projection System Control Device Merging Streaming and Display Inputs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing projection systems require users to manually select image input ports on both projection and streaming devices using separate control devices, leading to complex and inconvenient operations, and often necessitate cumbersome pairing processes for integrated control devices.
Innovation Solution
A projection system and method that allows a control device to transmit command signals to both the streaming device and projection device, enabling the projection device to project image data from the streaming device without the need for pairing, using detachable connections and communicative links between devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If separate control devices are used for projection device and streaming device, then each device can be controlled independently, but the operation becomes complex and inconvenient requiring multiple control devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the control functions for both the projection device and streaming device into a single control device. The control device includes a control interface that can send control signals to both devices, allowing users to control multiple devices with one remote controller instead of requiring separate control devices for each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The control device is designed with multi-functionality to control both the projection device and streaming device. It includes a control interface that can identify and send appropriate control signals to different devices based on their types, making the control device universal for controlling multiple types of equipment.
2Ease of operation
If an integrated control device is used to control both projection device and streaming device, then operation convenience is improved, but a cumbersome pairing process is required before use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring the control device with the ability to automatically identify and control both projection and streaming devices without requiring a pairing process. The control device is designed to directly communicate with the devices upon connection, eliminating the need for users to perform time-consuming pairing operations before use.
3Productivity
If manual selection of image input port is required on both devices, then device control precision is maintained, but the operation steps become complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the image input port selection function from the individual devices and centralizes it in the control device. The control interface includes a image source selection module that can identify and switch between different image input ports (such as HDMI1, HDMI2, VGA) of the projection device, eliminating the need for users to manually select input ports on both the projection device and streaming device separately.
Data Source
AI summary
A projection system and a projection method are provided. The projection system includes a projection device, a streaming device, and a control device. The projection device includes a first image input port and a second image input port. The streaming device is electrically connected to the first image input port of the projection device and is coupled to the projection device in a detachable manner. The control device is communicatively connected to the streaming device. The control device transmits a first command signal to the streaming device, so that the projection device projects image data from the streaming device. The projection method may be executed by the projection system. The projection system and the projection method of the disclosure provide a user with more convenient operation environment and operation interface.
