Solution Overview

Problem

Current display apparatuses require frequent screen changes or movements between content selection and editing, leading to decreased work efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus and method that allows selection and editing of content on a single screen by displaying first items in one area and second items in another, enabling user input to rearrange and manage the list order of second items, and transmitting requests to an external apparatus for predetermined functions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If frequent screen changes or movements are used between content selection and editing, then the content can be selected and edited separately, but work efficiency is lowered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent selection and editing operationVSAvoidwork efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the content selection interface and content editing interface into a single unified screen display. The processor simultaneously displays multiple pieces of content information and their corresponding edit operations on one screen, allowing users to perform both selection and editing without switching screens, thereby resolving the contradiction between operational ease and work efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If content selection and editing are carried out on separate screens, then each function can be optimized independently, but the user needs to switch between screens reducing efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent function optimizationVSAvoidtime for screen switching
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes spatial arrangement on the screen by displaying content information in a first area and corresponding edit operations in a second area. This dimensional layout allows both selection and editing functions to coexist and operate independently within the same screen space, eliminating the need for screen switching while maintaining functional independence

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

The disclosure relates to a display apparatus including a display, a user input unit, a communicator, and a processor. The processor may display a plurality of first items representing content in a first area on the screen, list and display a plurality of second items selected based on a first user input among the plurality of displayed first items in a second area on the screen different from the first area, change and display a list order of two or more second items selected based on a second user input among the plurality of second items displayed in the second area, and transmit a request to an external apparatus to perform predetermined functions in the list order of content corresponding to the plurality of second items changed in order in the second area.
