Adaptive Image Sensor Display Layout for Multi-Terminal Usability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image sensor systems struggle to display information effectively across different operation terminals such as personal computers, tablets, and smartphones due to varying screen sizes and resolutions, leading to user-unfriendly displays on certain devices.
Innovation Solution
An image sensor system that includes a recognition part to specify user and device information, a determination part to tailor display information based on user categories and terminal characteristics, and a generation part to generate data for optimal display on each terminal, ensuring suitable screen layouts for each operation terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a common screen layout is used for all operation terminals, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but the display quality and ease of operation deteriorate on terminals with different screen sizes and resolutions
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the screen layout based on the operation terminal's characteristics. The determination part receives terminal information (screen size, resolution) and automatically selects or generates appropriate display layouts, making the system adaptable rather than static. This resolves the contradiction by allowing the layout to change dynamically according to the terminal being used.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes display parameters (layout configuration, element sizing, information density) based on the operation terminal's screen characteristics. Different terminals receive different display parameter settings optimized for their specific screen sizes and resolutions, thereby improving display quality without requiring completely separate systems for each terminal type.
2Ease of operation
If separate programs are created for each operation terminal, then the ease of operation and display quality are improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The image sensor system is designed with multi-functionality to serve multiple operation terminals through a single unified program. The determination part acts as a universal adapter that handles different terminal types (smartphones, tablets, PCs) using the same core program logic, selecting appropriate display configurations based on terminal characteristics. This eliminates the need for separate dedicated programs for each terminal type.
Solution Approach 2:
The determination part serves as an intermediary layer between the image sensor and various operation terminals. It receives terminal information and translates it into appropriate display configurations, mediating between the single image sensor system and multiple different terminal types without requiring separate programs for each terminal.
3Loss of information
If display information is optimized for large screens, then the information completeness is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates on mobile devices with small screens
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different display quality characteristics to different regions or aspects of the interface based on the terminal type. For mobile devices with small screens, the layout prioritizes visibility and ease of operation for critical information, while potentially consolidating or prioritizing different information elements compared to large-screen displays. This local optimization resolves the contradiction by tailoring information presentation to the specific terminal's capabilities.
