Display Control Method for Accurate Terminal Linking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display screen linking technologies are complex and often fail to determine the correct terminal to link with a display frame, leading to undetermined associations and incorrect linking during collaborative work sessions.
Innovation Solution
A display control method that uses a computer to determine the link between an operation target object and a terminal by detecting specific operations, such as shake operations, and provides a guide to prompt users to perform the operation again if multiple terminals are shaken within a certain period, ensuring accurate association of the terminal with the display frame.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple terminals are shaken within a certain period of time to link with a display frame, then the system can support multiple users participating in collaborative work, but it becomes difficult to determine which terminal should be associated with the display frame, leading to undetermined associations
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays a guide prompt before the association is finalized, warning users that multiple shake operations within the time limit will cause undetermined association. This preliminary warning allows users to adjust their actions before the problematic state occurs, preventing the determination error rather than correcting it afterward
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides immediate feedback by displaying a guide message when multiple terminals are detected shaking within the time limit. This feedback informs users of the ambiguous state and prompts them to reperform the shake operation, enabling them to resolve the undetermined association through additional user input
2Measurement precision
If a guide is provided to prompt users to perform the operation again when multiple terminals are shaken, then accurate association can be achieved, but the operation time increases due to requiring users to reperform the shake operation
Solution Approach 1:
The guide is displayed preliminarily before the association is finalized, warning users of the potential time loss if they continue to shake multiple terminals. This allows users to make informed decisions about whether to continue with the current approach or adjust their actions to avoid the time-consuming reoperation
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows users to self-correct the undetermined association by reperforming the shake operation based on the guide prompt. Rather than automatically resolving the ambiguity or requiring system intervention, the users themselves resolve the issue by performing the correct action, giving them control over the time investment
3Measurement precision
If the system waits for a certain period of time to determine terminal association, then accurate determination can be made, but productivity decreases due to the time delay in establishing the link
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a periodic time limit approach, monitoring shake operations within a predetermined time window. Rather than using a fixed waiting period, the system periodically checks for shake operations and makes determination based on whether multiple shakes occur within the time limit, enabling faster response when associations are clear while maintaining accuracy when ambiguity exists
Solution Approach 2:
The system monitors for more shake operations than the minimum needed for association (i.e., it waits for potentially multiple shakes within the time limit). This excessive monitoring ensures accurate determination by detecting ambiguous cases, while the time limit prevents excessive waiting from impacting productivity in clear cases
4Ease of operation
If the system automatically determines terminal association without user guidance, then the operation is simple and fast, but incorrect linking occurs when multiple terminals are involved
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains automatic determination for simple cases but introduces feedback in the form of a guide prompt when multiple shakes are detected. This feedback mechanism allows the system to remain simple and automatic for clear cases while ensuring reliability when ambiguity arises, adapting the level of user involvement based on the situation
Solution Approach 2:
The guide prompt is displayed preliminarily to prevent incorrect automatic determination. By warning users before the association is finalized, the system gives them an opportunity to intervene and correct potential errors, ensuring reliability without completely abandoning automatic operation for simple cases

AI summary
A display control method includes: determining, by a computer, a link between an operation target object to be displayed on a display and a terminal that is to output the operation target object; and when detecting specific operations of outputting the operation target object from a plurality of terminals within a certain period of time after detecting a predetermined display operation for displaying the operation target object on the display, providing a guide giving a prompt to perform the specific operation again.
