Tailored Application Control for External Device Performance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User equipment with limited display size and speaker performance struggles to effectively control and drive external devices, as existing applications are not optimized for these devices, leading to suboptimal operation results.
Innovation Solution
A method is introduced where user equipment determines the type of connected external device, obtains necessary application information, and runs a tailored application to control and drive the external device's constituent elements, including display, audio, and video units, by transmitting operation results through the appropriate ports.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If user equipment connects to external devices with larger display and better audio performance, then output quality is improved, but control compatibility and operation optimization deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the software parameter (application type) based on the external device type. When an external device is detected, the system retrieves device information including device type, then selects and runs a corresponding tailored application that is optimized for that specific device type, thereby achieving optimal control compatibility while maintaining high output quality
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary layer (the tailored application) between the user equipment and the external device. This intermediary application acts as a mediator that translates control commands appropriately for the specific external device type, enabling seamless and optimized control of display and audio functions without requiring changes to the user equipment hardware
2Ease of operation
If user equipment uses single multifunction-enabled device, then portability is improved, but display size and speaker performance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements multi-functionality by enabling the user equipment to serve as a universal control hub for various external devices. Through the tailored application that adapts to different device types (display devices, audio devices, etc.), the compact user equipment can control multiple types of external devices, effectively extending its display and audio capabilities beyond its physical limitations while maintaining portability
3Device complexity
If standard applications are used for external devices, then system simplicity is maintained, but operation results suitability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically changes the application parameter based on the external device type. Instead of using a single standard application for all devices, the system retrieves device information, identifies the device type, and selects a corresponding tailored application. This parameter change enables optimal operation results for each device type while maintaining a simple unified control interface for the user
