Solution Overview

Problem

Large-scale performance dynamic stages face challenges in managing video display content across numerous LED screens, including high hardware complexity, inefficient memory utilization, and lengthy digital mapping times, due to the need for separate software tools for each stage modeling and manual content design for each screen.

Innovation Solution

A video display method that decomposes source videos into frame images, processes them based on stage configuration parameters to determine display regions and contents, and copies these contents to target memory for synchronized display across multiple screens, reducing hardware complexity and improving memory efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If separate software tools are used for each stage modeling and manual content design for each screen, then display accuracy can be achieved, but hardware complexity and time consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay accuracyVSAvoidhardware complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by developing a unified digital mapping solution that works across different stage models and configurations. The system uses a single software platform that can handle various stage setups without requiring separate specialized tools for each modeling scenario, thereby reducing hardware complexity while maintaining display accuracy through standardized processing pipelines.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs copying by automating the content distribution process. Instead of manually designing content for each screen, the system copies and maps video frames to multiple display screens automatically based on stage modeling parameters. This automated copying process reduces both hardware complexity and time consumption while preserving display accuracy through precise coordinate transformation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Manufacturing precision

If manual content design is performed for each screen, then display precision is maintained, but processing time and labor requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically process and distribute video content across multiple screens without manual intervention. The automated mapping process uses stage modeling parameters to self-determine display regions and coordinates, maintaining display precision while significantly reducing processing time and labor requirements compared to manual content design for each screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing video frames and pre-calculating mapping relationships based on stage configuration files before actual display. The system prepares display content in advance and establishes mapping templates beforehand, so that during execution, content can be rapidly distributed to screens without time-consuming manual design, thus reducing processing time while maintaining precision through pre-established mapping parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If traditional video display methods are used, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but memory utilization efficiency and mapping speed are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing memory management through dynamic allocation and utilization of video frame data. The system changes memory parameters by processing and storing only the necessary portion of video frames for each display screen based on stage configuration, thereby improving memory utilization efficiency and mapping speed while maintaining implementation simplicity through automated parameter adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements segmentation by dividing the video display process into discrete manageable segments: frame extraction, region determination, content mapping, and display output. Each segment is processed independently and efficiently, improving overall mapping speed. The segmentation approach maintains implementation simplicity by breaking down the complex display task into standardized modules that can be executed sequentially with optimized memory utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
