Content Display Device Touch Position Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content display systems face issues where content extends beyond the displayable area, leading to operational difficulties such as invisible operation buttons and unintended window movement across multiple displays, hindering user interaction.
Innovation Solution
A content display device and method that includes a display unit, position detecting unit, determination unit, and content movement control unit to detect touch positions and move content within the displayable area when part of it resides outside, ensuring the entire content is visible and operable as intended.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If content is displayed beyond the displayable area to show more information, then the displayable area is utilized more effectively, but the operability deteriorates because operation buttons become invisible
Solution Approach 1:
The content window is made dynamically adjustable in size and position. When content exceeds the displayable area, the system automatically adjusts the window size or position to ensure operation buttons remain visible, allowing the display to adapt between showing more content and maintaining operability
2Area of stationary object
If multiple display screens are arranged side by side to enlarge the displayable area, then more content can be displayed, but visibility deteriorates when content is displayed across multiple displays due to housing bezels
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple display screens are merged into a single coordinated display system. The content window can span across multiple displays while the system manages the display coordination to maintain visibility, treating the multiple screens as an integrated display area rather than separate independent displays
3Productivity
If a window is displayed in one display but automatically jumps to another display, then the display distribution is optimized, but the ease of operation deteriorates because the user's intended operation cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The system detects when a content window is partially outside the displayable area and proactively adjusts its position or size before the user encounters operational problems. This preliminary adjustment prevents the window from jumping to another display or becoming inaccessible, maintaining user control while optimizing display efficiency

AI summary
A content display device includes: a display unit for displaying a content in a displayable area; a position detecting unit for detecting a touch position; a determination unit for determining whether or not the detected touch position is on the displayed content; and, a content movement control unit that, when the determination unit has determined that the detected touch position is on the displayed content while part of the content resides outside the displayable area of the display unit, performs a control so as to move and display the content in such a manner that an entire content is displayed within the displayable area.
