Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices face a decrease in applicability during image sharing functions like mirroring, limiting user interaction with the electronic device.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus and display apparatus system that allows simultaneous display of application images on a larger display while enabling user interaction with the electronic device through user commands, with features like image categorization, arrangement, and position adjustment based on device orientation and distance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If image sharing function (mirroring) is performed to display screen on external display apparatus, then display area is increased, but user interaction capability with electronic apparatus decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoiduser interaction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display function by allowing simultaneous display of multiple application screens on the external display apparatus while maintaining separate interaction capabilities on the electronic apparatus. This enables the user to view multiple application outputs on the larger external display while still being able to interact with the electronic apparatus through its own display and input devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling the electronic apparatus to simultaneously perform image sharing (mirroring) and maintain full interaction capabilities. The system allows the external display apparatus to display application screens while the electronic apparatus continues to function as an independent interactive device, thus serving multiple functions concurrently.

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

2Loss of information

If multiple application images are transmitted to display apparatus, then information display capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation display capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses copying by transmitting display images from the electronic apparatus to the external display apparatus. Multiple application screens are copied and displayed on the external display, allowing the user to view multiple information sources simultaneously without adding physical complexity to the system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple application display outputs into a single external display apparatus. By combining multiple information sources (multiple application screens) onto one display device, the system improves information display capability while avoiding the complexity of managing multiple separate display devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A display apparatus, including a communication interface; a display; and a processor configured to, based on an image being received from an electronic apparatus through the communication interface, display the received image on the display, wherein the image is generated based on an application selected according to a first user command, and is transmitted to the display apparatus while the electronic apparatus displays an image corresponding to a second user command input to the electronic apparatus.
