Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image display apparatuses face challenges in simplifying the mirroring process between mobile terminals and image display devices, lacking efficient methods for generating and displaying execution icons during mirroring, which hinders user convenience and seamless interaction.

Innovation Solution

An image display apparatus equipped with a display, an interface unit for data exchange with mobile terminals, and a controller that displays execution icons for applications installed on the mobile terminal, allowing for wireless connection and mirroring, generates icons based on received application information, and supports screen division for multiple applications, enhancing user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional mirroring methods are used between mobile terminals and image display apparatuses, then connection can be established, but the process is complex and user convenience is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemirroring process simplicityVSAvoidconnection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image display apparatus proactively generates execution icons and prepares application information before user interaction. The system pre-establishes the mirroring connection framework and ready-to-execute application states, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex connection settings or manually initiate mirroring procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple applications are mirrored simultaneously, then content variety increases, but the interface becomes cluttered and difficult to manage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-application mirroring capabilityVSAvoidinterface manageability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display interface is segmented into distinct execution icon regions and application display regions. Each application running on the mobile terminal is represented by a separate execution icon on the image display apparatus, allowing users to selectively initiate mirroring for individual applications. This segmentation prevents interface clutter by presenting only relevant application options rather than displaying all running applications simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If execution icons are generated for all applications, then application selection is comprehensive, but the number of icons increases and occupies excessive display space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication selection coverageVSAvoiddisplay space occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by generating execution icons with differentiated visual characteristics based on application type and relevance. Execution icons are displayed in a compact, organized layout that adapts to the display size, showing only the most relevant applications prominently while maintaining access to the full application list through hierarchical navigation or scrollable interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Disclosed herein is an image display apparatus. The image display apparatus includes a display, an interface unit to exchange data with a mobile terminal, and a controller to oontrol the display to display an execution icon to execute at least one of applications installed in the mobile terminal and, in response to selection of the execution icon, to display an execution image of at least one application corresponding to the execution icon. Thereby, mirroring between the mobile terminal and the image display apparatus may be simply performed.
