Television Screen Region Control for Power-On Visual Effects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing television power-on and power-off operations lack visual interest, making the experience monotonous.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that partition the television screen into multiple display regions, allowing selective and gradual display or cessation of images based on power signals, using a receiving unit and processing circuit to generate control signals and manage display regions over time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the television screen is partitioned into multiple display regions and selective display is enabled during power-on/off, then visual interest and user experience are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is divided into multiple display regions that can be independently controlled. During power-on and power-off sequences, different regions can display images at different times, creating a visually interesting progressive display effect without requiring complex additional hardware beyond standard display region control capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The display system dynamically adjusts which regions are active based on the power state. During power-on, regions are gradually activated; during power-off, regions are gradually deactivated. This dynamic region control adds visual interest while utilizing existing display control mechanisms
2Productivity
If all display regions are utilized immediately upon power-on signal, then productivity is improved, but visual effects and user experience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Before the entire screen is activated for normal operation, a preliminary visual sequence is played across partitioned display regions. This preliminary action creates engaging visual effects during the transition period, after which all regions are fully utilized for content display, thus maintaining both productivity and visual appeal
3Loss of time
If image display is stopped immediately upon power-off signal, then loss of time is reduced, but visual effects and user experience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of immediate shutdown, the display system employs periodic action by gradually deactivating display regions after the power-off signal. Different regions are turned off at different time intervals, creating a visually interesting fading effect that extends slightly beyond the immediate power-off moment, balancing time efficiency with visual experience

AI summary
An image displaying method for a television includes: selecting a portion of a plurality of display regions of a screen of the television to display a still or animated image when a power-on signal is received; and utilizing all the plurality of display regions to display images corresponding to a television signal after a predetermined time period beginning from when the power-on signal is received. The present invention further discloses an image displaying method for a television, including: selecting a portion of a plurality of display regions of a screen of the television and stopping the displaying of images corresponding to a television signal on the selected display regions when a power-off signal is received; and stopping the displaying of images corresponding to the television signal on all the plurality of display regions after a predetermined time period beginning from when the power-off signal is received.
