Abstract
Briefly, a method for verifying the visual perceptibility of a display is provided. An intended message is written to a bistable display. Pixels that comprise portions of the message are measured and evaluated to determine if the message actually displayed on the bistable display was perceptible by a human or a machine. In some cases, information regarding the message actually perceivable from the display may be stored for later use. Responsive to determining that a message is perceivable or not perceivable, alarms may be set, one or more third parties notified, or additional display features may be set.
Claims52
An electronic device, intelligent label comprising,
- a processor;
- a memory;
- an electro-optic display comprising message pixels;
- message pixel setting circuitry;
- message pixel detection circuitry for electrically measuring a characteristic of a set of the message pixels;
- and
- wherein the memory stores rules that are used by the processor to evaluate a visible message presented on the display by the set of the message pixels.
An integrated electronic device comprising,
- a processor;
- a memory;
- message pixel setting circuitry constructed to set message pixels;
- message pixel detection circuitry constructed to detect an electrical characteristic of a set of the message pixels;
- and
- wherein the message pixel setting circuitry and the message pixel detection circuitry have shared circuitry.
An integrated electronic device comprising,
- a processor;
- a memory;
- a flexible display comprising message pixels;
- message pixel setting circuitry constructed to set message pixels on the display;
- message pixel detection circuitry constructed to detect an electrical characteristic of one or more of the message pixels;
- a flexible substrate supporting the setting circuitry and the detection circuitry;
- and
- wherein the electronic device is constructed to be flexible.
