Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional video walls, including panoramic ones, do not allow individual display screens to seamlessly transition away from the collective video wall experience to provide unique interactive environments for users, limiting personalized interaction.

Innovation Solution

A multi-panel video wall system where each display screen can transition from a collective video wall content to a separate, individualized interactive environment upon user interaction, utilizing a computer with a memory and processor connected via wired or wireless transmission, and accessing a remote JavaScript database to detect user interaction and adapt content accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If display screens work together to display a unified video wall content, then the collective video wall experience is maintained, but individual user interaction and personalized content are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividual user interaction capabilityVSAvoidunified video wall experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the video wall into independent display screen units, each capable of operating in two modes: unified video wall mode and individual interactive mode. This segmentation allows any single screen or group of screens to be isolated from the collective video wall and provide personalized interactive content while others maintain the unified display, resolving the contradiction between maintaining video wall unity and enabling individual interaction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically transitions display screens between two states: displaying unified video wall content and displaying individualized interactive content. This dynamic capability allows the video wall to adapt its composition in real-time based on user interaction, maintaining the unified experience when needed while enabling personalized interaction when users engage with specific screens

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If touch-screen displays are used for user interaction, then user engagement is enabled, but the screens cannot transition to independent interactive environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive environment capabilityVSAvoidscreen transition mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each display screen is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as part of the unified video wall display and as an independent interactive touchscreen device. The screens universally handle both collective video wall content delivery and individualized interactive content presentation, eliminating the need for separate hardware systems while enabling diverse interaction modes

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

AI summary

A multi-panel video wall and system is disclosed having a computer with a memory or access to a public or private cloud containing a video file and a processor for executing the video file and a plurality of video display screens interconnected to one another and to the computer via wired or wireless transmission, each of the plurality of video display screens configured to work together to display a video content generated from the video file that extends across all of the plurality of video display screens. Upon user interaction or detection of a user, one or more of the plurality of video display screens seamlessly transitions away from the video content to display a separate video content for interaction with the user.
