Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless display systems, users are not adequately informed when wireless communication is disconnected, leading to potential misunderstandings about device functionality and aesthetics are compromised due to separate modules, with existing systems lacking clear guidance for connection issues.

Innovation Solution

A wireless display system where the reception module includes a display and memory to store guides for connection issues, displaying specific guides when communication is lost, and using different wireless communication methods for image and control signals to minimize interference and thickness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If wireless display system uses separate transmission and reception modules, then aesthetics are improved and installation flexibility is enhanced, but user notification of connection problems is insufficient leading to misunderstandings

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaestheticsVSAvoidconnection status information
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary guide message that mediates between the wireless communication system and the user. When connection problems occur, the system generates a guide message that explains the cause (wireless communication issue vs. device problem) and provides corresponding solutions, thereby bridging the information gap between the system and user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the reception module detects wireless communication connection status and provides feedback to the user through guide messages. The system continuously monitors connection status and notifies users of problems and solutions, creating a closed-loop feedback system that improves user understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If all guide information is stored in the reception module, then user guidance is comprehensive, but the thickness of the reception module increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveguide informationVSAvoidthickness of reception module
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the guide information storage function between two modules: the reception module stores only disconnection-related guides (minimal storage), while the transmission module stores comprehensive operation guides. This segmentation allows the reception module to remain thin while still providing necessary guidance through selective storage and transmission of guide information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the comprehensive guide storage function from the reception module and places it in the transmission module. The reception module only retains essential disconnection guides, extracting unnecessary storage burden while maintaining essential user guidance capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Device complexity

If single wireless communication channel is used for both image and control signals, then system complexity is reduced, but signal interference occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless communication systemVSAvoidsignal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the wireless communication channel into two independent channels: one for image signals and another for control signals. This segmentation prevents signal interference between different types of data while maintaining relatively simple system architecture through dedicated channel assignment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces separate communication channels as intermediaries between the transmission and reception modules for different signal types. By using distinct wireless channels for image and control signals, the system avoids direct interference while maintaining coordinated operation between modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
