Automotive Display Layout for Clear Home-to-Screen Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Automotive displays lack user convenience in navigating between home and individual screens, with unclear configuration and size ratios, making it difficult for users to determine the correct screen to switch to.
Innovation Solution
An automotive display system with a home screen and individual screens that feature a first button group for switching to detailed displays, along with simple display regions and a second button group, where the number and size of simple display regions on the home screen can be selectively designated, and the button ratio on the individual screen matches the display region ratio on the home screen.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a detailed display region is shown on the individual screen without visual reference to the home screen, then the individual function can be displayed in detail, but the user cannot easily determine which screen to switch to
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the copying principle by displaying a visual representation of the home screen configuration (including simple display regions and their size ratios) within the individual screen interface. This copy allows the user to see the home screen layout without actually being on the home screen, enabling informed navigation decisions while maintaining detailed function display capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number and sizes of simple display regions on the home screen are fixed, then the display layout is simple to implement, but the user cannot customize the display according to their needs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the number and sizes of simple display regions on the home screen adjustable and customizable. The display configuration is no longer static but can be dynamically modified by users according to their needs, while the system automatically manages the complexity of these configurations through standardized parameter settings.
3Ease of operation
If the button sizes on the individual screen do not reflect the home screen display region ratios, then the button layout can be optimized independently, but the user cannot recognize the relationship between screens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the feedback principle by making the button sizes on the individual screen reflect the size ratios of the corresponding simple display regions on the home screen. This creates a visual feedback loop where the individual screen displays information about the home screen configuration, allowing users to recognize the relationship between screens. The system automatically coordinates these parameters without requiring complex manual configuration.
