Solution Overview

Problem

High-resolution electronic devices often experience abnormal operations due to conflicts between USB device version parameters and display resolutions, leading to inefficient data transmission and user dissatisfaction.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method and electronic device that detect version parameters and display resolutions, adjusting the display resolution when a conflict is detected to ensure normal USB device operation, involving user interaction and historical processing records to optimize settings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If the electronic device displays high resolution images (e.g., 4K), then the viewing experience is improved, but the data transmission rate of USB devices becomes too slow causing abnormal operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoiddata transmission rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of display resolution based on USB device capabilities. The system automatically detects USB device version parameters and adjusts the display resolution in real-time to ensure compatible data transmission rates, transforming the static high-resolution display into a dynamic system that adapts to USB device requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the display resolution parameter according to USB device version detection results. When a USB device with limited data transmission rate is detected, the system modifies the display resolution parameter to a lower value that ensures stable data transmission, thereby resolving the contradiction between high resolution and transmission speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the display resolution is automatically adjusted to accommodate USB devices, then USB device compatibility is improved, but user control over display settings is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveUSB device compatibilityVSAvoiduser control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system detects USB device version parameters, evaluates compatibility with current display resolution, and automatically adjusts settings when conflicts are detected. This closed-loop feedback system maintains USB device compatibility while allowing user intervention when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting USB device capabilities and adjusting display resolution without requiring user intervention. This automation improves USB device compatibility while minimizing impact on user control, as users only need to interact when they want to override automatic adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
