Display Control Apparatus Segmentation for Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display control apparatuses struggle to maintain visibility of both color-converted images and display items when they are shown together, as the color conversion often results in the display items being mixed up with the image, leading to decreased visibility.
Innovation Solution
A display control apparatus with a conversion unit that separates the display of display items from color-converted images by positioning them in non-overlapping regions, ensuring the display items are not superimposed on the color-converted images, and using a CPU to manage the display levels and modes to optimize visibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If display items are superimposed on color-converted images, then the display can show both image and information simultaneously, but the visibility of both the image and display items decreases due to color mixing
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into two distinct regions: a first region for displaying the color-converted image and a second region for displaying information items. This spatial segmentation prevents the color-converted image from mixing with the display items, thereby maintaining the visibility of both while still allowing simultaneous display of image and information.
2Loss of information
If color conversion is applied to the image, then the image can convey additional information through color coding, but the display items become mixed up with the color-converted image
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the display area into separate regions for color-converted images and information items, the patent ensures that the color conversion effects remain visible in the image region without interfering with the information display region, thus preserving both information conveyance and visibility.
Solution Approach 2:
Different display qualities are applied to different regions: the first region displays color-converted images with enhanced information conveyance through color coding, while the second region displays information items with optimized visibility. This local differentiation allows each region to excel at its specific function without compromising the other.

AI summary
A display control apparatus includes one or more processors, a conversion unit configured to convert a color of the image based on a predetermined condition, and a display control unit configured to perform control such that, in a case where a non-color-converted image is displayed in which the color of the non-color-converted image is not converted, a display item is displayed at a superimposed position at which the display item is superimposed on the image, and in a case where a color-converted image is displayed in which the color of the color-converted image is converted, the display item is displayed at a non-superimposed position at which the display item is not superimposed on the color-converted image.
