Signal Transmission Device for Video Resolution Enhancement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users cannot experience classic movies or game recordings with high-resolution image quality using advanced equipment without upgrading their devices, as these classic works were produced in low resolution.
Innovation Solution
A signal transmission device with image/audio signal processing functionality, comprising a receiver, signal processor, and transmitter, that detects and processes video signals to enhance resolution and quality, allowing existing equipment to display classic works in high-resolution or ultra-high-resolution image quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If users use existing audio/video playback devices to play classic movies or game recordings, then the playback is convenient and cost-effective, but the image quality remains at low resolution because the equipment cannot process or enhance the original low-resolution signals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary device (signal transmission device with image processing functionality) that acts as a mediator between the player device and display device. This intermediary contains an image processing unit that can detect low-resolution video signals and process them to generate high-resolution output signals, thereby enabling existing equipment to display classic works in high-resolution without requiring upgrades to the player or display devices themselves.
2Manufacturing precision
If users upgrade their equipment to experience classic works in high-resolution, then the image quality improves, but the cost increases and installation becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the image processing functionality from the expensive high-end player or display equipment and places it into a separate, dedicated signal transmission device. This allows the core image enhancement capability to be isolated in a single affordable component, while the existing player and display devices can remain unchanged. Users only need to purchase and install this single intermediary device to achieve high-resolution playback of classic content.
3Manufacturing precision
If users upgrade their equipment to experience classic works in high-resolution, then the image quality improves, but the installation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary device (signal transmission device with image processing functionality) that acts as a mediator between the player device and display device. This intermediary contains an image processing unit that can detect low-resolution video signals and process them to generate high-resolution output signals, thereby enabling existing equipment to display classic works in high-resolution without requiring upgrades to the player or display devices themselves.

AI summary
A signal transmission device for transmitting at least a video signal between a player device and a display device includes a signal processing device. The signal processing device includes a receiver, a signal processor and a transmitter. The receiver is configured to receive a first video signal. The signal processor is coupled to the receiver and configured to detect an image format or an image resolution of the first video signal and process the first video signal according to the image format or the image resolution to generate a second video signal. An image format of the second video signal is different from the image format of the first video signal or an image resolution of the second video signal is different from the image resolution of the first video signal. The transmitter is configured to output the second video signal.
