Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display methods for spliced panels require manual determination of splicing manner and division of content, leading to complexity and inefficiency, especially in applications where panels are spliced in various configurations.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for automatically allocating content to spliced panels by acquiring an image, analyzing the panel arrangement, dividing the image into sub-images corresponding to each panel, and adjusting resolutions to match panel capabilities, eliminating the need for manual splicing manner determination.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual determination of splicing manner and manual division of content is used, then display control can be performed, but operation complexity increases and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay operationVSAvoidoperation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-identification of splicing manner through image acquisition and analysis, automatically determining panel arrangement without manual intervention. The control device autonomously completes content division and allocation based on detected splicing configuration, making the system self-sufficient in adapting to different splicing scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs image acquisition and splicing manner detection in advance before content display. By pre-analyzing the splicing configuration and pre-dividing content according to detected arrangement, the system prepares all necessary information beforehand, enabling seamless automatic display without manual intervention during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If manual division of content is performed for each splicing manner, then content can be allocated to panels, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent allocation efficiencyVSAvoidcontent allocation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual mechanical operations of content division and panel allocation with automated image processing and control algorithms. Through image acquisition, automatic splicing manner detection, and algorithmic content division, the system eliminates manual intervention entirely, achieving rapid automatic content allocation that significantly reduces time consumption compared to manual methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual determination of splicing manner is required, then panel arrangement can be identified, but universality decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesplicing configuration adaptabilityVSAvoidmanual configuration process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a universal image-based detection mechanism that can identify various splicing manners (horizontal, vertical, grid arrangements) through a single unified approach. The control device universally applies image acquisition and analysis techniques across different splicing configurations, eliminating the need for separate manual configuration procedures for each splicing type and enabling the system to adapt to any panel arrangement automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
