Solution Overview

Problem

Users face complications when viewing full-screen videos on browsers, as original content is obscured, requiring users to exit full-screen mode to access other information, and when videos are displayed in small areas, the user experience is compromised.

Innovation Solution

A display control method that determines first and second display objects based on current content and configuration information, allowing these to be displayed on separate screens, improving user interaction and experience by enabling simultaneous viewing of videos and other information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If videos are displayed in full-screen mode, then video viewing quality is improved, but original browser content becomes blocked and inaccessible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo display qualityVSAvoidbrowser content accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is segmented into multiple regions, with the first region displaying video content and the second region displaying original browser content simultaneously. This allows users to watch videos in a dedicated area while keeping browser content accessible in another area, resolving the contradiction between video display quality and content accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The solution transitions from a single full-screen display mode to a multi-region spatial arrangement. By utilizing different display regions (dimensions) on the screen, the system enables simultaneous display of video and browser content without requiring users to exit full-screen mode, thus maintaining video quality while preserving content accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If videos are displayed in a small display area, then browser content accessibility is maintained, but video viewing experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrowser content accessibilityVSAvoidvideo display quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is divided into distinct regions where video content and browser content are displayed simultaneously. The video is allocated a substantial first region that provides good viewing quality, while the second region maintains browser content accessibility. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by giving both functions adequate display space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Illumination intensity

If users switch between full-screen and small display modes to access different content, then both video quality and content accessibility can be achieved at different times, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo display qualityVSAvoiddisplay mode switching
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges the functionality of full-screen video display and browser content display into a single simultaneous display mode. By combining these two previously mutually exclusive display modes into one unified multi-region display configuration, users can access both video content and browser content at the same time without switching modes, thereby simplifying operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Loss of information

If multiple display regions are used simultaneously, then both video and browser content can be displayed at once, but display configuration complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent accessibilityVSAvoiddisplay configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is designed with multi-functional capability to handle different display configurations. The same display device can automatically adapt to various content types (video, browser, etc.) and allocate appropriate regions dynamically. This universal design approach manages configuration complexity by providing automated, flexible region allocation that works across different scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A display control method includes determining a first display object and a second display object based on current display content, determining a first display screen and a second display screen based on display configuration information, and controlling a first display content corresponding to the first display object to be displayed on the first display screen and a second display content corresponding to the second display object to be displayed on the second display screen.
