Multi-Area Display Control via Touch Input
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Multi-display electronic apparatuses require new control methods to efficiently manage multiple display surfaces, enhancing user convenience and reducing power consumption, as existing technologies fail to effectively activate and deactivate display areas based on user input and environmental conditions.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a display part comprising multiple display areas and a touch screen, controlled by a display controller that activates or deactivates display areas based on touch inputs, such as area size, number of touches, and motion patterns, as well as sensing signals from sensors like illumination, sound, and gyro sensors, to optimize power usage and user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If all display areas are continuously activated to provide comprehensive user interaction, then user convenience is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the activation state of display areas based on real-time touch input detection. The display controller monitors touch patterns and automatically activates or deactivates specific display areas, transitioning the system from a static all-on state to a dynamic adaptive state that balances usability and energy efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system autonomously determines which display areas to activate or deactivate based on detected touch inputs, without requiring manual user configuration. The controller self-manages the power distribution to display areas, making intelligent decisions about resource allocation based on actual usage patterns.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display areas are simultaneously activated to provide diverse functionality, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into multiple independent display areas that can be individually controlled. Each display area can be independently activated or deactivated based on touch input patterns, allowing the system to provide diverse functionality through selective activation rather than requiring complex integrated control of the entire display system.
Solution Approach 2:
The same display controller and touch detection mechanism serve multiple display areas, providing universal control functionality. The controller can manage different display areas with different functions (front display, side displays, foldable sections) using a unified control approach, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.

AI summary
An electronic apparatus includes a display part, a touch screen, and a display controller. The display part includes a first display area and a second display area opposite to the first display area. The touch screen is configured to sense a first touch input from the first display area and a second touch input from the second display area. The display controller is configured to control activation and deactivation of the first display area and the second display area based on the first touch input and the second touch input.
