Rotatable Display Control for Source-Based Auto Orientation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing rotatable display apparatuses require frequent user input for rotating the display, which can be cumbersome and inconvenient, as they do not automatically adjust the display mode based on user preferences or source characteristics.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a control method that allows users to set display modes for each source, enabling automatic rotation of the display based on user inputs, viewing history, and source characteristics, using a processor to control the display and motor to maintain or change the display orientation according to predefined settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display is rotated directly at a point in time desired by a user or only in some situations according to user input, then the display can be adjusted when needed, but the user must frequently input commands which is troublesome and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically rotating the display to a vertical orientation when a remote control is detected, before the user needs to manually rotate it. This anticipatory action eliminates the need for frequent user commands and provides convenience automatically.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus serves itself by automatically detecting remote control presence and autonomously adjusting its orientation without requiring user intervention. The system monitors environmental conditions and self-adjusts, making the operation seamless and trouble-free.
2Productivity
If the display rotates every time according to user command, then the display responds to user input, but the frequent rotation according to each command is troublesome and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus performs self-service by automatically detecting remote control presence and autonomously adjusting its orientation without requiring user intervention. The system monitors environmental conditions and self-adjusts, making the operation seamless and trouble-free.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically rotating the display to a vertical orientation when a remote control is detected, before the user needs to manually rotate it. This anticipatory action eliminates the need for frequent user commands and provides convenience automatically.

AI summary
A control method of an electronic apparatus is provided. The control method includes: displaying, on a display of the electronic apparatus, a first user interface (30) for setting a display mode, from among a horizontal mode and a vertical mode, for each of one or more sources providing images to the electronic apparatus (S210); storing information on a display mode corresponding to a first source (S230) , based on receiving, through the first UI, a first user input for setting the display mode corresponding to the first source of the one or more sources (S220) ; and controlling at least one of the display or a motor of the electronic apparatus so that the display is operated in one of the horizontal mode or the vertical mode according to the stored information on the display mode corresponding to the first source (S250) , based on receiving a second user input for providing an image through the first source (S240) .
