Display Apparatus Handling Handwritten Input Overflow
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses face challenges in efficiently handling input text that exceeds the maximum number of characters that can be displayed within an input area, leading to user difficulties in confirming the accuracy of handwritten input data and visibility issues when text is reduced in size to fit the area.
Innovation Solution
The display apparatus implements a pop-up display and mark system, where text exceeding the character limit is displayed in a pop-up component and marked within the input area, allowing users to view the entire text by pressing the mark, thereby reducing user effort and improving visibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If text is reduced in size to fit within the input area, then the text can be displayed within the limited input area, but the visibility and readability of the text deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the text display into two segments: the main input area displays text within character limits, while a pop-up window displays additional text that exceeds the limit. This segmentation allows the system to maintain the input area boundaries while providing full text visibility through the separate pop-up component.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension by displaying overflow text in a pop-up window that appears above or beside the input area. This vertical or spatial dimension allows additional text to be displayed without compromising the visibility of text within the original input area constraints.
2Loss of information
If the maximum number of characters is increased to display more text, then text visibility improves, but the input area design and layout becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the excess text that cannot be displayed within the input area and places it in a separate pop-up window. This extraction maintains the simplicity of the input area design while ensuring complete text information is accessible to users through the extracted portion displayed in the pop-up.
3Area of stationary object
If manual text reduction is required to fit text in the input area, then text can be displayed within the area, but user effort and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages text overflow by detecting when text exceeds the input area character limit and automatically displaying the excess text in a pop-up window. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for users to manually reduce text, thereby reducing user effort while maintaining proper text display within the input area constraints.
4Area of stationary object
If text exceeding character limit is truncated, then text fits within the input area, but information accuracy and user confirmation capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the pop-up window provides users with access to the complete text that was truncated in the input area. Users can review the full text in the pop-up to confirm accuracy, and the system responds to user actions on the pop-up by updating the input area accordingly, ensuring information accuracy is maintained.
Data Source
AI summary
A display apparatus includes circuitry to receive an input of hand drafted input data. The hand drafted input data is input to an input area being displayed. The circuitry displays, in the input area, an object corresponding to the hand drafted input data, and displays, based on a part of the object failing to be displayed within the input area, a display component related to an additional object representing at least the part of the object.
