Vehicle Display Synchronization via Single Content Request
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to synchronize the display of related but not identical information across multiple vehicle-mounted displays, requiring separate operations to update handler-based information on small screens when text-based information on large screens is changed.
Innovation Solution
A screen display control system where one electronic apparatus issues a content acquisition request, acquiring and displaying the same type of information on multiple connected displays through an information acquiring unit, eliminating the need for separate operations across all apparatuses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate and independent information pieces are displayed on multiple vehicle-mounted displays, then each display can show different types of information independently, but the information cannot be synchronized across displays requiring separate operations to update
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments information into different types (text-based information and handler-based information) and assigns them to different displays based on their characteristics. The large-screen display shows text-based information while small-screen displays show handler-based information, allowing each display to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining synchronization through the server.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that receives content from the Internet and distributes it to multiple vehicle-mounted displays. The server enables synchronized information presentation across displays by managing the distribution of text-based and handler-based information, eliminating the need for separate manual operations on each display.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple displays show different kinds of information independently, then each display can be optimized for specific information types, but synchronization of related information across displays cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
Each display is assigned a specific type of information based on its characteristics. Large-screen displays are optimized for text-based information while small-screen displays are optimized for handler-based information. This local optimization allows each display to show the most appropriate information type for its capabilities while maintaining overall system consistency.
Solution Approach 2:
The server provides universal functionality by serving as a common platform that distributes both text-based and handler-based information to multiple displays. This multi-functional server ensures that all displays receive synchronized information updates, maintaining consistency across the entire system while allowing individual displays to specialize in specific information types.
3Ease of operation
If each vehicle-mounted apparatus operates independently to change displayed information, then each display can be controlled separately, but synchronized updates across all displays require multiple separate operations
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary action by pre-processing content from the Internet and preparing both text-based and handler-based information for distribution. When content is updated, the server automatically distributes it to all connected displays simultaneously, eliminating the need for manual updates on each display and reducing the time required for synchronized information updates.

AI summary
An information acquiring unit acquires from a server the same type of information to be shown correspondingly in vehicle-mounted apparatuses with respect to one content, and information display units cause their displays to show the information to be shown correspondingly in the apparatuses from the same type of information acquired by the information acquiring unit. An operation for a content acquisition request by one of the plurality of vehicle-mounted apparatuses may only be required for showing the same type of information in synchronization on displays of the vehicle-mounted apparatuses, without separate operations for a content acquisition request in the vehicle-mounted apparatuses.
