Display Control for High-Priority Content With Minimal Shift After Malfunction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices struggle to minimize displacement of display content positions after a screen malfunction, particularly when maintaining high-priority content display and reducing position changes.
Innovation Solution
A display control device that includes a detector to identify malfunctioning displays, a selector to prioritize high-priority content, a determiner to minimize position changes based on tolerance levels, and a switcher to reposition content accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If display content is repositioned after a screen malfunction, then high-priority content can be displayed, but the displacement of display content positions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the handling of display content based on their priority levels. High-priority content is repositioned to ensure display, while low-priority content maintains its original position. This selective approach resolves the contradiction by applying different quality standards (position stability vs. priority display) to different parts of the display content based on their importance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining priority levels for different display content before a malfunction occurs. When a malfunction is detected, the system can immediately reposition high-priority content without delay, as the priority classification and repositioning strategy have already been established in advance.
2Adaptability or versatility
If display content is repositioned to accommodate malfunction recovery, then content can be displayed on remaining functional displays, but the position change from original location increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display position adaptive rather than fixed. The system dynamically adjusts content positions based on the malfunction state, allowing the display layout to flexibly adapt to different operational conditions while minimizing unnecessary position changes for content that doesn't require repositioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by selectively repositioning only those display content items that are both high-priority and affected by the malfunction. Other content maintains its original position, thus achieving adaptability to malfunction conditions while preserving position stability where possible.
3Manufacturing precision
If all display content is maintained at original positions after malfunction, then position stability is preserved, but high-priority content may not be displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by repositioning only the necessary high-priority content that cannot be displayed at their original positions due to the malfunction. Not all content is repositioned, only those items where maintaining priority display is more important than maintaining original position, thus avoiding excessive position changes while ensuring critical content is displayed.

AI summary
A display control device includes: a display content selector that, when a malfunctioning display is detected, selects, based on a priority level for display set for each of a plurality of items of display content, one or more items of display content for which the priority level is higher among the plurality of items of display content; and a display position determiner that determines, based on a tolerance level for a display position change set for each of the plurality of items of display content, a display position in one or more displays, to cause a displacement of display content for which the tolerance level is lower among the one or more items of display content to be smaller, the displacement being a displacement from a position at which the same display content had been displayed before the malfunctioning display was detected.
