Solution Overview

Problem

Wireless communication devices in image display apparatuses may fail to comply with local regulations due to mismatched country code information, leading to inefficient use of wireless channels and transmission power.

Innovation Solution

The image display apparatus includes a wireless communication device that scans beacon frames, sets wireless channels and transmission power based on stored country code information, and adjusts settings based on extracted country code information from the frames, displaying mismatch messages if necessary, and performing channel changes to ensure compliance and efficient communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If wireless channel and transmission power are set based on stored country code information, then device complexity is reduced, but compliance with local regulations deteriorates when country code information is outdated or incorrect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless communication setup complexityVSAvoidcompliance with local regulations
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically scanning for beacon frames and extracting country code information before establishing wireless communication. This preliminary detection ensures that the country code information is updated and accurate before use, resolving the contradiction between simple setup and regulatory compliance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the wireless environment for beacon frames and using this information to update the country code settings. This feedback mechanism ensures that the stored country code information remains current and compliant with local regulations without increasing user complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If country code information is not updated, then ease of operation is maintained, but wireless channel efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser operation simplicityVSAvoidwireless channel efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting and updating country code information through beacon frame scanning without requiring user intervention. This maintains ease of operation while improving wireless channel efficiency through accurate, up-to-date country code settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary detection of beacon frames and extraction of country code information before initiating wireless communication. This preliminary action ensures optimal channel efficiency is achieved automatically, without burdening the user with manual configuration tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If beacon frame scanning is performed continuously, then compliance with local regulations is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance with local regulationsVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic action by scanning for beacon frames at specific intervals rather than continuously. This periodic scanning maintains compliance with local regulations through regular updates while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial action by scanning for beacon frames only when necessary (e.g., during initialization or when compliance verification is needed) rather than continuously. This approach maintains regulatory compliance while minimizing energy consumption by avoiding unnecessary scanning operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
