Automatic detection method of video wall arrangement and video wall system using the same

An automatic detection method of a video wall arrangement for a video wall system comprising a plurality of monitors and a control computer, the automatic detection method comprising:

• a) calling, by the control computer, identification information of a first monitor, from among the plurality of monitors;
• b) sending, by the first monitor corresponding to the called identification information, a response signal through four detecting members disposed on four side surfaces of the first monitor, in response to the calling;
• c) detecting, by other monitors of the plurality of monitors which do not correspond to the called identification information, whether the response signal is received through four detecting members disposed on four side surfaces of the other monitors, and sending, by the other monitors, detecting signals comprising detecting results to the control computer;
• d) receiving, by the control computer, the sent detecting signals sent from the other monitors;
• e) repeating the operations a), b), c), and d) for a plurality of identification information corresponding to the plurality of monitors;
• and
• f) determining, by the control computer, an arrangement of the plurality of monitors based on the received detecting signals.

A video wall system comprising:

• a plurality of monitors constituting a video wall;
• and
• a control computer to control the plurality of monitors,
• wherein each of the plurality of monitors comprises:
• a control portion to control the monitor;
• and
• four detecting members disposed on four side surfaces of the monitor,
• wherein the control computer sequentially sends identification information of each of the plurality of monitors to the plurality of monitors,
• wherein a monitor corresponding to the sent identification information from among the plurality of monitors sends a response signal, in response to the sent identification information, through the four detecting members, and
• wherein a monitor which does not correspond to the sent identification information from among the plurality of monitors detects the sent response signal and sends, to the control computer, a detecting signal comprising location information of the monitor corresponding to the identification information.

An automatic detection method of an arrangement of a video wall including a plurality of monitors, the automatic detection method comprising:

• calling, by a control computer, identification information of a first monitor, from among the plurality of monitors;
• receiving, by the control computer, a detecting signal from a second monitor, from among the plurality of monitors, that does not correspond to the called identification information, the detecting signal indicating a received direction of a response signal received by the second monitor from the first monitor in response to the calling;
• and
• determining an arrangement of the plurality of monitors according to the received detecting signal.

An automatic detection method of an arrangement of a video wall including a plurality of monitors, the automatic detection method comprising:

• receiving, by a first monitor from a control computer, called identification information called by the control computer;
• in response to the called identification information corresponding to the first monitor, from among the plurality of monitors, sending, by the first monitor, a first response signal indicating that the called identification information corresponds to the first monitor;
• in response to the called identification information not corresponding to the first monitor, not sending, by the first monitor, the first response signal;
• and
• in response to receiving a second response signal from a second monitor, sending, to the control computer by the first monitor, a detecting signal indicating a received direction of the response signal by the first monitor from the second monitor,
• wherein the second response signal indicates that the called identification information corresponds to the second monitor.
