Display Device Webpage Navigation with Adaptive Control Modes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices struggle to provide an optimal navigation experience for webpages, especially when controlled remotely, due to the mismatch between touchscreen/mouse-based interactions and remote control inputs, leading to poor user experience and accessibility issues.
Innovation Solution
A display device and method that dynamically adjusts navigation modes based on webpage loading states, HTML elements, and content types, using infrared or near-infrared control signals to switch between cursor, link, and scroll navigation modes, optimizing interaction for articles and videos.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If touchscreen or mouse-based interaction is used for webpage navigation, then navigation precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates when using remote control
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between cursor navigation mode and link navigation mode based on webpage loading state. During loading, cursor navigation provides precise positioning; after loading, link navigation enables easier remote control operation through direct link selection. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by providing the appropriate navigation mode for each operational phase.
2Device complexity
If a single navigation mode is used for all webpage states, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation system implements multi-functionality by supporting both cursor navigation mode and link navigation mode within a single system. The system universally handles different webpage states (loading and loaded) by automatically selecting the appropriate navigation mode, providing adaptability without requiring separate navigation systems for each state.
3Ease of operation
If cursor navigation mode is maintained during webpage loading, then ease of operation is improved, but navigation precision deteriorates after loading completes
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically transitions from cursor navigation mode during loading to link navigation mode after loading completes. During loading, cursor navigation provides ease of operation for loading the webpage; after loading, link navigation provides precision for navigating to specific links and content. This dynamic switching resolves the contradiction by optimizing for the appropriate criterion at each stage.

AI summary
Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to a method for navigating a webpage in a display device and a device therefor. The method according to an embodiment comprises the steps of: displaying a webpage through a web browser; setting the navigation mode to one of a plurality of navigation modes on the basis of at least one of a loading state of the web page or a hypertext markup language (HTML) element of the web page; and navigating a graphic user interface (GUI) on the web page on the basis of direction information and the set navigation mode in response to receiving, from an external device, a control signal having the direction information.
