Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional automobile AV systems are limited by the inability to play multiple AV streams simultaneously, require extensive wiring, and restrict the portability of display devices due to cable connections.

Innovation Solution

A wireless car digital AV system using an AV Host with a wireless network interface to send encrypted digital AV files to multiple display devices, which can decrypt and decode these files independently, eliminating the need for cables and enabling different content on each device, and allowing for firmware updates and configuration changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If cable connection is used between main system and display panels, then signal transmission is stable, but wiring complexity increases and portability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission stabilityVSAvoidwiring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical cable connection system with a wireless communication system. The main system transmits AV signals to display panels wirelessly using wireless communication modules, eliminating the need for physical cable connections while maintaining signal transmission functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces wireless communication modules as intermediaries between the main system and display panels. These modules enable signal transmission without direct cable connections, serving as a mediator that replaces the mechanical connection with an electromagnetic field-based communication channel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If main system plays only one AV stream, then system complexity is low, but adaptability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidmulti-stream playback capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the AV signal processing functionality by distributing it across multiple independent display panels. Each panel has its own processing capabilities and can independently receive and play different AV streams from the main system, enabling multi-stream playback without significantly increasing central system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The main system is designed with universal output capabilities that can simultaneously transmit multiple different AV streams to multiple display panels. Each display panel can function as an independent playback device, allowing the system to adapt to various viewing scenarios and content types.

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

3Stability of the object's composition

If cable connection is used, then display panels are fixed, but portability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidportability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical cable connection that fixed display panels in position with a wireless communication system. This allows display panels to be moved freely within the wireless communication range while maintaining connection stability through continuous wireless signal transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
