Display Control Circuit for Prioritizing Information by User Action State
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often overlook important information when multiple types of information are simultaneously provided, especially while engaged in activities such as driving or walking, due to difficulty in processing a varied assortment of information.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that obtains a user's action state and controls the display to prioritize and modify information presentation based on the user's activity, ensuring that critical information is prominently displayed and easily noticeable.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If much information is simultaneously provided to a user, then the information coverage is comprehensive, but the user may overlook highly necessary information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different display attributes (such as brightness, size, position, or color) to different pieces of information based on their priority and relevance to the user's current action state. High-priority information receives enhanced display attributes to ensure noticeability, while lower-priority information is displayed with standard or reduced attributes, thus maintaining comprehensive information coverage while ensuring critical information stands out.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes display parameters (such as luminance, contrast, font size, or position) based on the user's action state and information priority. When the user is engaged in activities requiring attention, the system adjusts display parameters to highlight relevant information, thereby maintaining reliability of information noticeability while providing comprehensive information coverage.
2Quantity of substance
If a varied assortment of information is provided while a user is engaged in activity, then information completeness is improved, but it becomes difficult for the user to check information one by one
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments information into different categories or priority levels based on the user's action state. Information is divided into groups such as high-priority, medium-priority, and low-priority, or categorized by relevance to the current activity. This segmentation allows the user to access information in a structured manner, improving ease of operation while maintaining information variety and completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system dynamically adjusts the presentation of information based on the user's action state. When the user is engaged in activities, the system automatically reorganizes information display to prioritize activity-relevant information, making it easier to access. The information assortment remains complete, but the dynamic reorganization improves accessibility during activities.
3Adaptability or versatility
If information is provided during user activities, then information utility is improved, but the user may be distracted from the primary activity
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes display parameters such as brightness, position, and size based on the user's action state to minimize distraction. When the user is engaged in activities requiring attention, the system reduces display brightness or positions information in peripheral areas, thereby maintaining information contextuality while reducing the harmful effect of distraction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from sensors or user input to detect the user's action state and adjusts information display accordingly. When distraction is detected or anticipated, the system automatically adjusts display characteristics to reduce interference with the primary activity, maintaining adaptability while minimizing harmful distraction effects.
