Display Control Apparatus for Right-to-Left Bitmap Orientation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display technologies cannot manage the correct sequence for bitmap images based on language orientation, leading to improper display for languages read from right to left, such as Arabic.
Innovation Solution
A display control apparatus and method that identifies the display language and manages determination information to determine the lateral orientation or position of bitmap images, allowing them to be displayed in the appropriate sequence based on the language characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If bitmap images are displayed in a fixed sequence, then the display is simple and consistent, but the display is incorrect for languages read from right to left
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display sequence adjustment based on language characteristics. The system automatically detects whether the display language requires right-to-left reading direction and reverses the display sequence of bitmap images accordingly. This dynamic adaptation ensures display accuracy for different languages without requiring separate fixed sequences for each language, resolving the contradiction between reliability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the display parameter (sequence direction) based on language properties. By detecting the language's reading direction parameter and adjusting the bitmap image display sequence to match, the system achieves accurate display for both left-to-right and right-to-left languages using a unified control mechanism, thereby improving reliability without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system supports multiple languages, then the adaptability is improved, but the management of display sequences becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses language identification to determine display parameters. By detecting the display language and automatically adjusting the bitmap sequence direction based on the language's reading direction parameter, the system achieves multi-language support through a unified adaptive mechanism rather than separate management systems for each language, thus improving adaptability without linearly increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal display control mechanism that handles both left-to-right and right-to-left languages through a single system. The bitmap display sequence management is designed to automatically adapt to different language requirements, making the system multi-functional without requiring separate dedicated systems for each language type, thereby improving versatility while controlling complexity.

AI summary
A display control apparatus that can display bitmap images in a form depending on characteristics of a language. An identifying unit identifies a display language; a management unit adapted to manage determination information for determining whether or not a lateral orientation, or a lateral display position, or a lateral traveling direction for displaying objects associated with the display language identified by the identifying unit is changed depending on the display language, for each of the objects. A determination unit adapted to determine the lateral orientation, or the lateral display position, or the lateral traveling direction with respect to the objects to be displayed, based on the display language identified by the identifying unit and the determination information managed by the management unit.
