Solution Overview

Problem

Existing projection and display systems lack real-time monitoring and maintenance capabilities, leading to potential failures during critical occasions and resulting in unexpected losses, as maintenance is typically only performed after a failure occurs.

Innovation Solution

A monitoring system comprising a projection or display device, a sensing device, and a remote device that senses environmental and device output parameters, performs state analysis, and generates command signals to execute self-protection procedures, such as self-repair or shutdown, to maintain device availability and efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If real-time monitoring and state analysis systems are implemented, then device reliability and availability are improved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice availabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The monitoring system is segmented into distinct functional modules: sensing devices for parameter detection, remote devices for data reception and state analysis, and projection devices for execution. This modular segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, improving reliability while managing complexity through functional decomposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary state analysis and generates command signals before actual failures occur. By continuously monitoring environmental parameters and device output values, the system identifies potential issues early and executes self-protection procedures in advance, preventing failures and maintaining device availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If continuous monitoring and self-protection procedures are implemented, then loss of time due to failures is reduced, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovedowntimeVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The monitoring system operates periodically rather than continuously, with sensing devices sampling environmental parameters and device output values at regular intervals. The remote device performs state analysis on accumulated data, generating command signals only when necessary. This periodic operation reduces energy consumption while maintaining effective monitoring coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where sensing devices continuously monitor parameters, the remote device analyzes device states based on received data, and command signals are generated and transmitted back to projection devices when abnormal conditions are detected. This feedback mechanism enables timely self-protection procedures that minimize downtime while avoiding unnecessary energy consumption from continuous active intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Manufacturing precision

If adaptive image calibration is implemented, then display quality is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidcalibration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The projection device performs adaptive image calibration autonomously based on environmental parameters and device output values received from sensing devices. The device automatically adjusts its display parameters without requiring manual intervention or complex external calibration equipment, improving display quality while managing complexity through self-service operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system improves display quality by dynamically changing operational parameters of the projection device based on real-time environmental conditions and device performance data. The remote device analyzes these parameters and generates command signals that adjust image calibration settings, enabling adaptive optimization without permanent hardware modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
