Composite Multi-Image Display Cursor Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-monitor systems face difficulties in improving cursor operability when displaying composite images from multiple personal computers, as existing methods do not effectively handle the integration of cursor positions across multiple images.
Innovation Solution
An image display system that combines multiple images and allows for two cursor display modes: one where the cursor overlaps within the display range of individual images and another where it overlaps the entire composite image, enabling enhanced cursor operability by selecting the appropriate display mode based on user intention and image processing device inputs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple images are combined and displayed on an image display device, then the information presentation capability is improved, but the cursor operability deteriorates because existing cursor display methods cannot effectively handle composite images from multiple personal computers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements two selectable cursor display modes that dynamically adapt to different usage scenarios. The first mode displays the cursor within the display range of individual images, while the second mode displays it across the entire composite image. This dynamic switching capability allows the system to adapt between different operational contexts, resolving the contradiction between displaying multiple images and maintaining cursor operability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the display parameter of the cursor by providing two distinct display modes. The first mode confines the cursor to individual image boundaries, while the second mode allows it to move across the entire composite image area. This parameter change enables the system to maintain cursor operability while displaying multiple combined images from different personal computers.
2Measurement precision
If the cursor is displayed within the display range of individual images, then the cursor position accuracy for specific images is improved, but the overall cursor operability across the composite image deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between two cursor display modes based on operational needs. The first mode provides precise cursor positioning within individual images, while the second mode enhances overall cursor operability across the composite image. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between position accuracy and overall operability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the cursor display functionality into two distinct modes. The first mode segments the cursor display to individual image boundaries, providing precision for specific images. The second mode integrates the cursor across the entire composite image, improving overall operability. This segmentation allows users to select the appropriate level of precision based on their current task.
3Ease of operation
If the cursor is displayed across the entire composite image, then the overall cursor operability is improved, but the cursor position accuracy for individual images deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between two cursor display modes. The second mode displays the cursor across the entire composite image to improve overall operability, while the first mode confines it to individual images for precise positioning. This dynamic switching resolves the contradiction between overall operability and individual image precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments cursor display into two operational modes. The second mode provides integrated cursor control across the composite image for improved operability, while the first mode segments cursor display to individual image boundaries for precise positioning. Users can select the appropriate segmentation level based on their operational requirements.
4Device complexity
If existing cursor display methods are used for composite images, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different display scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic switching between two cursor display modes to adapt to different display scenarios. The first mode adapts to scenarios requiring precise cursor control within individual images, while the second mode adapts to scenarios requiring overall composite image navigation. This dynamic adaptability resolves the contradiction between device complexity and versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the cursor display system universal by providing two display modes that can handle different usage scenarios. The system can function in both individual image precision mode and composite image navigation mode, making it adaptable to various presentation and multi-monitor scenarios without requiring multiple separate systems.

AI summary
An image display system includes an image display device and an image information processing device. The image display device includes a display side input section receiving a plurality of pieces of image information and cursor position information, an image combining/displaying section for displaying a composite image of the plurality of pieces of image information, and a cursor display section for displaying a cursor based on the cursor position information. The image information processing device includes an output section for outputting the image information and the cursor position information, a processing side input section for receiving input of composite image information, and a cursor position information processing section selecting either of a first cursor correspondence process corresponding to the image information sent to the image display device and a second cursor correspondence process corresponding to the composite image information and then performing the cursor correspondence process thus selected.
