Display Control for Selective Image Movement During Scrolling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional information displaying apparatuses move all images during scrolling or page switching operations, causing inconvenience as desired information is lost and requires inverse scrolling to re-display, making it difficult for users to retain specific information on the screen.
Innovation Solution
An information displaying apparatus with an operation portion for user input, a display portion for image display, and a display control portion that allows users to select and move specific images or areas while designating others as movement prohibitions, ensuring that selected images remain at their current position during scrolling or page switching operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If scrolling or page switching operation is performed to move images, then new information can be displayed, but desired information is lost and requires inverse scrolling to re-display
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image into multiple regions, allowing users to select specific portions as movement prohibition areas. This segmentation enables differential treatment of different image regions during scrolling operations, where selected regions remain stationary while other regions can be moved, thus preventing information loss while maintaining display efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different parts of the image to have different movement properties. Users can designate specific local regions as movement prohibition areas, causing those regions to remain fixed while the rest of the image scrolls. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by preserving important information in designated areas while still enabling navigation through the overall image
2Adaptability or versatility
If all images are moved during scrolling operation, then complete page switching is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates due to inability to retain specific information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic control over image movement by allowing users to interactively select movement prohibition areas during the scrolling operation. The system dynamically adjusts which regions move and which remain stationary based on user selection, providing flexible control that enhances user convenience while maintaining adaptability for different viewing needs
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where user selections of movement prohibition areas are processed in real-time during scrolling operations. The system responds to user input by adjusting the movement behavior of images, providing immediate feedback that enhances user convenience and control over the display behavior

AI summary
Provided is an information displaying apparatus in which even when an image movement operation is received, it is possible to move an image excluding an image desired by a user. The apparatus is able to receive a predetermined selection movement operation for selecting a part or the whole of the image that is being displayed currently as an image to be moved for moving and a predetermined selection operation for selecting a part of the image that is being displayed currently as a movement prohibition image. When the predetermined selection movement operation is received in a state where the movement prohibition image is selected depending on the above-described predetermined selection operation, the apparatus executes display control to move the above-described image to be moved in a state where the above-described movement prohibition image is displayed at a current display position as it is.
