Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless reception devices face challenges in reducing time delays when processing signals from multiple standards, particularly when the standard of the input signal is not detected, leading to increased processing times and inefficiencies.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a wireless reception device and image display apparatus that includes a first signal converter and a second signal converter to convert RF signals into baseband signals, with processors for each standard to perform signal processing simultaneously when the standard is not detected, and sequential processing when detected, allowing for efficient conversion and processing of signals from multiple standards.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If sequential signal processing is performed for multiple standards, then processing accuracy is maintained, but time delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal processing accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The signal processing system is segmented into multiple independent processing paths, each dedicated to a specific standard (first standard processor, second standard processor). This allows parallel processing of different standards without interference, reducing overall processing time while maintaining the accuracy of each individual processing path through specialized optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically switches between sequential and parallel processing modes based on the detection of standard type. When the standard is detected, the system transitions to dynamic parallel processing for speed; when undetected, it uses sequential processing for accuracy, creating an adaptive processing architecture that optimizes the time-accuracy tradeoff.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If parallel signal processing is performed for multiple standards, then processing time is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal processing speedVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The signal converters and processors are designed with multi-functionality to handle multiple standards. The first signal converter and second signal converter can process both first standard and second standard signals, and the processors are configured to adapt to different standards, reducing the need for completely separate processing chains and thereby limiting complexity growth.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary standard detection and signal classification before main processing. By detecting the standard type in advance and pre-configuring the appropriate processing path, the system avoids the complexity of managing multiple simultaneous processing modes during actual signal processing, simplifying the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If standard detection is performed before processing, then processing efficiency is improved, but time delay occurs during detection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoiddetection time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Standard detection is performed as a preliminary action using simplified detection algorithms that operate on initial signal samples. By completing detection quickly before full processing begins, the system minimizes detection time overhead while ensuring efficient subsequent processing based on the detected standard type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The detection phase uses partial processing of the signal (only enough to identify the standard type) rather than complete processing. This partial action approach reduces detection time significantly while providing sufficient information to configure the optimal processing path, balancing detection speed with processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a wireless reception device and an image display apparatus including the same. The image display apparatus includes a first signal converter configured to convert an input signal based on the RF signal into a first baseband signal, a second signal converter configured to convert the input signal based on the RF signal into a second baseband signal, a processor of a first standard configured to perform signal processing on the first baseband signal from the first signal converter based on a first standard, and a first processor of a second standard configured to perform signal processing on the second baseband signal from the second signal converter based on the second standard. Accordingly, the time delay when signal processing is performed on input signals of a plurality of standards is reduced.
