Service-Specific Image Quality Menus for HDR Streaming Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often adjust image quality settings on their TVs independently, leading to video images that differ from the intended quality set by content providers, particularly in high dynamic range (HDR) content.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus and method that includes a display control unit to provide a dedicated image quality adjustment menu with a 'Service A calibrated mode' for specific distribution services, ensuring image quality adjustments align with the provider's intent, using predefined parameters managed by the service.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users adjust image quality settings independently on their TVs, then users can customize image quality to their personal preferences, but the displayed video image quality differs from what the content provider intended
Solution Approach 1:
The image quality adjustment menu is segmented into service-specific sections. When a user accesses the image quality menu during playback of content from a specific distribution service, only adjustment options relevant to that service are displayed. This segmentation prevents users from making unintended adjustments to global settings while still allowing service-specific customization, thereby maintaining provider intent for each service.
Solution Approach 2:
Different image quality adjustment options are provided for different distribution services based on their specific requirements. Each service can have its own calibrated settings and adjustment ranges, allowing local optimization for each service while maintaining overall system consistency. This ensures that HDR content from different services maintains the quality intended by each provider.
2Device complexity
If a general image quality adjustment menu is provided for all services, then the menu structure remains simple and universal, but it cannot maintain different image quality standards for specific distribution services
Solution Approach 1:
The image quality adjustment menu dynamically changes its content based on the currently playing content's source service. When HDR content from a specific distribution service is being played, the menu automatically displays only the adjustment options appropriate for that service. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain a simple, consistent user interface while providing service-specific functionality, eliminating the need for a complex static menu structure that would need to accommodate all possible services simultaneously.
