Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing visual interface apparatuses lack a unified structure to efficiently process and display data while also transmitting files wirelessly to other electronic devices, leading to complex designs with multiple connection ports.
Innovation Solution
A visual interface apparatus with an interface module that includes a driving unit and a display panel, where the control module processes both display and transmission data, using labels to differentiate between them, and transmits screen and coupling data to the display panel for simultaneous display and wireless transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate connection ports are used for display data and transmission data, then data transmission reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines display data and transmission data into a single connection port. The driving unit receives both types of data through one interface and processes them separately using labeling identification, eliminating the need for multiple connection ports while maintaining data integrity through distinct processing paths.
Solution Approach 2:
The single connection port is designed to handle multiple functions: it transmits both display data for screen rendering and transmission data for wireless communication. The driving unit acts as a multi-functional component that routes different data types to appropriate processing paths based on labels.
2Device complexity
If a single connecting port is used for both display and transmission data, then device complexity is reduced, but data identification difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces labels as intermediary markers attached to data packets. These labels serve as identification tags that enable the driving unit to distinguish between display data and transmission data within the single connection port, solving the identification problem without requiring separate physical ports.
Solution Approach 2:
The driving unit changes the processing parameters based on label identification. When a label indicating transmission data is detected, the system switches to transmission processing mode; when display data is detected, it switches to display processing mode, enabling dynamic parameter adjustment for accurate data routing.
3Ease of manufacture
If display panel electrodes are used for both display and wireless transmission, then ease of manufacture is improved, but transmission precision may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the electrode functions by designating specific electrodes (or specific regions of electrodes) for transmission data while other electrodes handle display functions. This segmentation allows the display panel to maintain its display precision while enabling wireless transmission capabilities through dedicated transmission electrodes.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the display panel electrodes are assigned different functions: some areas optimize for display quality while others optimize for transmission performance. This local differentiation allows the same electrode structure to serve dual purposes with appropriate quality levels for each function.

AI summary
A data transmission system and a visual interface apparatus are disclosed in the invention. The visual interface apparatus works with the operation apparatus and includes a control module and an interface module configured with a display function. The interface module includes a driving unit and a display panel. The control module transmits a display data and a transmission data to the driving unit and, after receiving and processing, the driving unit transmits a screen data and a coupling data to the display panel. When the operation apparatus operates on the visual interface apparatus, at least a part of the coupling data is coupled to the operation apparatus from the display panel. The invention is capable of processing the data for display and the data for transmission and then sending them to the display panel of the visual interface apparatus. Thus, the visual interface apparatus in the invention can be used to display images and also transmit the data such as data or file to another electronic apparatus. Besides, by integrating the display data with the transmission data, the system design can be simplified so that a single connection port can be used.
