Adaptive History Display for Multi-Area Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices with multiple areas face challenges in providing history information effectively, as existing methods fail to differentiate and adjust history information display properties, positions, and sizes based on the area where the application execution screen is displayed, leading to inconsistent user experiences.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a sensor unit and processor that detects input signals to display history information differently based on the display mode and area, allowing for adjustable display properties, positions, and sizes, enabling multiple applications and display modes, and categorization of history information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If history information is displayed using a conventional fixed method, then the implementation is simple, but the user experience becomes inconsistent across multiple display areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the display properties, positions, and sizes of history information based on the specific display area where the application execution screen is located. Each display area receives customized history information presentation tailored to its characteristics, rather than applying a uniform approach across all areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the history information display adaptive and changeable based on the detected display area. The system dynamically adjusts display properties, positions, and sizes according to the current application execution context and display area configuration, transitioning from a static fixed method to a dynamic adaptive approach.
2Ease of operation
If history information display properties are standardized, then the implementation is straightforward, but the visual clarity and usability decrease across different display areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent customizes display properties such as size, position, and appearance of history information based on the specific display area characteristics. This local differentiation enhances usability by optimizing the display presentation for each area's specific context and user interaction patterns.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system supports multiple display modes with customized history information, then the user experience is enhanced, but the control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a unified control mechanism that manages multiple display modes and history information presentations through a single integrated system. The processor detects the display area and automatically selects the appropriate display mode and history information configuration, providing multi-functionality without requiring separate control systems for each mode.

AI summary
A method for controlling a display device, comprising, executing a first application and displaying an execution screen of the first application on a display unit, wherein the display unit includes a first display area and a second display area, and the execution screen of the application is displayed in at least one of the first display area and the second display area; and displaying a history screen including history information of the first application, wherein the history information is set up based upon a display mode, wherein first history information is displayed when the display mode of the first application corresponds to a single area mode, second history information is displayed when the display mode of the first application corresponds to an expand area mode, wherein the first history information has a display property different from the display property of the second history information.
