DISPLAY DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240244295 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
The patent application describes a display device with a unique power-saving feature that allows it to transmit image data to another display device even when the display is turned off.
- The display device includes a communication unit with communication circuitry, a memory storing instructions, and a processor with processing circuitry.
- The processor controls the communication unit to transmit image data to another display device when a power-off signal is received.
- It can identify if the image data transmission is ongoing and enter a power-off suspend mode to maintain the transmission while the display is off.
- If the transmission is terminated in the power-off suspend mode, the device switches to a power-saving mode to conserve energy.
Potential Applications: - Multi-display setups where one display can transmit data to another even when turned off. - Energy-efficient systems for digital signage or video walls.
Problems Solved: - Energy consumption in multi-display setups. - Seamless data transmission between displays.
Benefits: - Reduced energy consumption. - Enhanced user experience with continuous data transmission.
Commercial Applications: "Energy-Efficient Multi-Display Systems for Digital Signage and Video Walls"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device identify if image data transmission is ongoing? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with the power-saving feature?
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a display device including: a display, a communication unit comprising communication circuitry, a memory storing one or more instructions, and at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, configured to execute the one or more instructions to: control the communication unit to transmit image data received from an external device connected to the display device, to another display device connected to the display device, based on receiving a power-off signal, identify whether transmitting the image data to the other display device is being performed, based on transmitting the image data to the other display device being performed, turn off the display and enter a power-off suspend mode in which transmitting the image data to the other display device is maintained, and based on transmitting the image data to the other display device being terminated in the power-off suspend mode, switch to a power saving mode.
