Circular Display Region Allocation and Mode Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display technologies face challenges in effectively dividing a display range into regions of different sizes and shapes, leading to difficulties in recognizing information and ensuring that displayed content fits within the allocated regions, especially when images protrude into other areas.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a display that divides its circular display range into multiple regions, allocating information and adjusting display modes to prevent collisions and optimize the use of space, using a control unit to manage display region division, allocation, and mode changes based on user operations and item management tables.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the display range is divided into multiple regions of different sizes and shapes, then the information display capacity is improved, but it becomes difficult to ensure that displayed content fits within the allocated regions without protruding into other areas
Solution Approach 1:
The display range is divided into multiple independent display regions (first display region, second display region, third display region) with different sizes and shapes. Each region is assigned specific information types, allowing efficient utilization of the circular display area while preventing content overlap through clear regional boundaries.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-establishes an item management table that defines the characteristics, boundaries, and information allocation rules for each display region before actual content display. This preliminary configuration ensures that content fits within allocated regions without protruding into other areas.
2Area of stationary object
If information is allocated to different display regions with different sizes and shapes, then the display area utilization is optimized, but the complexity of managing display modes and region allocation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The item management table serves as a universal data structure that manages multiple display regions with different characteristics. It stores information about each region's size, shape, and allocated content types, enabling the system to handle diverse display configurations through a single unified management mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts display parameters such as region size, shape, and information allocation based on the item management table configurations. By changing these parameters according to pre-defined rules, the system optimizes display area utilization while maintaining manageable complexity through systematic parameter control.
3Ease of operation
If multiple display regions are used to show different information types, then the information recognition ease is improved, but the difficulty of ensuring proper display mode selection increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each display region is assigned specific information types based on its characteristics (size, shape, position). The first display region, second display region, and third display region each have optimized layouts for their designated content, making information recognition easier by presenting relevant data in appropriately designed regional contexts.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the item management table as a reference to automatically select appropriate display modes for each region based on the allocated information types. This feedback mechanism ensures that the correct display mode is selected for each region without requiring complex manual configuration, as the system refers back to pre-defined regional characteristics.

AI summary
An electronic device includes a non-rectangular display, an information acquisition sensor, and a processor. The processor allocates information acquired from the information acquisition sensor to any of a plurality of display regions having different sizes or shapes within a display range. The information is displayed on the display in a different display mode depending on whether the information is allocated to a first display region or to a separate display region out of the plurality of display regions.
