Solution Overview

Problem

Current spliced screen display systems rely on wired signal transmission, limiting flexibility and scalability, especially in large-scale applications where simultaneous and synchronized display across multiple screens is challenging.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication-based method using a LoRa base station to send control information intermittently to control multiple display screens, including first information to turn off receiving components and second information to display after a preset time, ensuring synchronized display across the spliced screen.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wired signal transmission is used for spliced screen display, then signal transmission stability is improved, but installation flexibility and scalability are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission stabilityVSAvoidinstallation flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical wired connection system with a wireless communication system. Each display screen is equipped with a wireless communication module that receives control signals wirelessly, eliminating the need for physical signal cables. This substitution maintains reliable signal transmission while dramatically improving installation flexibility, allowing screens to be positioned anywhere within wireless range and enabling easy system expansion.

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

2Reliability

If control information is sent continuously to all display screens, then display synchronization is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay synchronizationVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of continuous transmission, the patent implements periodic control signal transmission. The control device sends display control information at specific time intervals rather than continuously. Each display screen enters a low-power state between receptions and only wakes to receive new control signals when needed. This periodic approach maintains display synchronization while dramatically reducing overall energy consumption of the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

Each display screen autonomously manages its own power state based on received control signals. When a screen receives control information, it activates its receiving component and processes the signal independently. After processing, it can enter a low-power state without requiring continuous power from the control device. This self-service mechanism allows each screen to optimize its own energy consumption while maintaining system-wide synchronization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Speed

If receiving components remain active continuously, then signal reception responsiveness is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal reception responsivenessVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the receiving component's operational state dynamic rather than static. The receiving component dynamically switches between active and low-power states based on system needs. When control signals are being transmitted, receiving components are active to ensure responsive signal capture. When no signals are pending, they transition to low-power states. This dynamic adaptation maintains responsiveness during operation while minimizing energy consumption during idle periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
