Video Distribution Device for Multi-View Display State Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users cannot fully enjoy the advantage of simultaneously viewing multiple videos due to a lack of mastery over the display operation methods, limiting their ability to effectively display and switch between videos.
Innovation Solution
A video distribution system that includes a video distribution device and display control devices, which acquire and distribute multi-view videos from multiple imaging devices, share display state information to allow synchronized viewing across devices, enabling users to change video display states and share viewing methods without requiring expertise in the operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple videos are distributed simultaneously to enable simultaneous viewing, then the advantage of displaying multiple videos is improved, but the user cannot sufficiently enjoy the advantage due to lack of mastery over selection and display operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs video selection and display configuration without requiring user intervention. The video distribution device autonomously determines which videos to display and how to arrange them, eliminating the need for users to master complex selection and display operations while still enabling simultaneous viewing of multiple videos
Solution Approach 2:
The video distribution device acts as an intermediary between the video sources and the display devices. It receives multiple video inputs, processes them according to predetermined rules or user preferences, and automatically distributes them to display devices in optimal configurations, thereby simplifying the user experience
2Adaptability or versatility
If users are provided with full control over video display operations, then customization capability is improved, but the complexity of operation increases and users cannot sufficiently enjoy the advantage
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically configuring video displays based on predetermined criteria, device capabilities, and user preferences stored in advance. This eliminates the need for users to manually adjust display parameters while maintaining adaptability through pre-configured options
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring display parameters, video selection criteria, and distribution rules before user interaction. This allows the system to automatically adapt to different scenarios without requiring users to understand or configure complex parameters at runtime
