Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic apparatuses face processing speed decreases when changing displayed images, necessitating an efficient method for displaying content images across different operating modes.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus with a processor that controls the display to adjust resolutions and layers dynamically, including decreasing the resolution of content screens, adding or removing layers, and enlarging content images in response to mode changes, while also incorporating user interaction to modify graphic objects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the electronic apparatus displays various graphic objects together with a background image to provide diverse user experiences, then the user experience is improved, but the processing speed of the processor is decreased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience diversityVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is divided into multiple layers including a background image layer, an object layer with graphic objects, and a content layer. This segmentation allows the processor to manage and update only specific layers when needed, rather than processing the entire display content, thus improving processing speed while maintaining diverse user experiences through layered graphic objects and background images

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the resolution of the content screen and manages the visibility and content of different layers based on the current operating mode. When converting between operating modes, the processor selectively updates layers and adjusts resolutions rather than completely redrawing the entire display, optimizing processing speed while adapting to different user experience requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the electronic apparatus changes the displayed image, then the content is updated, but the processing speed is decreased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent update capabilityVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system prepares and stores background images and graphic objects in separate layers in advance. When an operating mode change is detected, the processor selectively activates and updates only the necessary layers rather than processing all display elements from scratch, thereby maintaining content update capability while improving processing speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The processor dynamically changes the resolution parameter of the content screen and adjusts which layers are visible or active based on the current operating mode. This selective parameter adjustment allows content updates without requiring full-resolution processing of all display elements, optimizing the balance between content freshness and processing speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An electronic apparatus includes a display and a processor for controlling the display. In response to the electronic apparatus operating in a first operating mode, the processor displays a content screen including a background image layer with a rear background image of the electronic apparatus and an object layer with a graphic object in the display. In response to receiving a convert command to convert to a second operating mode, the processor decreases a resolution of the content screen displayed in the display and adds a content layer including a content image enlarged gradually from a region of the content screen to the an entirety of the content screen.
