Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in viewing Web pages associated with applications without separately launching browsers and entering URLs, and in reflecting application settings and functions within the display device.

Innovation Solution

A method and display device that allow users to select execution modes for content, such as Web, application, or edited versions, by detecting user actions and connecting to URLs through a browser, enabling rapid viewing of Web pages and execution of associated applications without additional browser launches, and updating content to reflect Web page functions and settings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users launch a browser separately to view Web pages associated with applications, then they can access the Web pages, but the operation time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of viewing Web pageVSAvoidtime to launch browser and enter URL
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the application execution environment with the Web browser environment. When an application is executed, the browser is automatically launched and integrated with the application, allowing users to view associated Web pages without separate browser launching. The browser and application share the same interface and control mechanisms, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically launching the browser and pre-loading the associated Web page when an application is started. The browser is prepared in advance with the correct URL and content, so users don't need to manually enter URLs or wait for separate loading processes, thus eliminating time loss while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If users execute dedicated applications to receive content, then they can access the content, but they cannot access the original Web page information simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of comparing informationVSAvoidability to access both application and Web page
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal platform that supports both application execution and Web browsing within the same environment. The integrated system can display application content and Web page information simultaneously, allowing users to compare and access both types of content without switching between separate applications or windows, thus improving both ease of operation and adaptability.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides content in multiple execution modes, then user choices increase, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety of content delivery modesVSAvoidmenu screen complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different execution modes (application mode, Web mode, edited version mode) for different types of content or user needs, rather than forcing a single uniform interface. Each content item can be accessed through the most appropriate mode, and the menu screen presents these modes in a simplified, context-aware manner that reduces perceived complexity while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A display device and a method for providing content in the display device are disclosed, in which a display displays a menu screen including selectable icons representing a plurality of execution modes that indicate versions of content to be displayed, and a controller detects a user action for selecting an icon, identifies an execution mode indicated by the selected icon, in response to the detected user action, and executes the content in the identified execution mode. The plurality of execution modes may include edited version mode, Web mode, and application mode.
