Solution Overview

Problem

Existing media information display methods are inefficient in showcasing multiple media information materials within a single display window, leading to low screen utilization and inadequate expression of content.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that generate first media information by sequencing and arranging multiple media information materials, allowing partial display in a first media information display window with prompt information indicating hidden content, enabling full display upon user interaction, thereby maximizing content expression and screen utilization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If multiple media information materials are displayed using multiple display windows, then the content expression is comprehensive, but the screen utilization is low and screen space is wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent expressionVSAvoidscreen utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple media information materials into a single media information display window by generating composite media information that includes multiple materials. This allows multiple materials to be displayed simultaneously in one window rather than requiring separate windows for each material, thereby improving screen utilization while maintaining comprehensive content expression.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If one media information display window displays only one media information material, then the display is simple and clear, but the screen utilization is low when multiple materials need to be displayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay simplicityVSAvoidscreen utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple media information materials into a single composite media information structure that can be displayed in one window. This merging approach maintains display simplicity by presenting unified content while improving screen utilization by reducing the number of windows needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the composite media information into multiple individual media information materials that can be independently controlled and displayed. This segmentation allows the system to manage multiple materials within a single window structure, maintaining ease of operation while maximizing screen space utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Area of stationary object

If multiple media information materials are combined in one display window, then the screen utilization is improved, but the content expression may be insufficient without proper arrangement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen utilizationVSAvoidcontent expression
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by arranging different media information materials in specific positions and sequences within the composite structure. Each material is placed in an optimal location based on its characteristics and importance, ensuring that the combined display in one window maintains comprehensive content expression while achieving high screen utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary sequencing and arrangement of media information materials before generating the composite media information. This preliminary action ensures that when materials are combined in one display window, their content expression is optimized and properly organized, preventing information loss while maximizing screen space usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
