Rotatable Display Control for Content Orientation Guidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users experience limited viewing comfort when consuming content on mobile devices due to restricted display sizes and the prevalence of content optimized for either horizontal or vertical orientations, with a need for guidance on rotating displays to accommodate different content aspects.
Innovation Solution
A method and display device that identify the resolution of image content relative to the current display mode and provide visual effects such as rotation or aspect ratio changes, along with guide messages, to assist users in adjusting the display orientation for optimal viewing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display device uses a fixed horizontal display mode, then the display structure is simple and stable, but the user cannot view content in vertical direction and viewing comfort is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display device transitions from a fixed horizontal display mode to a dynamic configuration that supports both horizontal and vertical display modes. The display panel is designed to be rotatable, allowing it to change orientation based on content requirements. This dynamic adaptability enables the device to accommodate different aspect ratios and content types without requiring multiple separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device is designed to perform multiple functions by supporting both horizontal and vertical display modes. A single display device can now handle various content types including videos, images, and text that are optimized for different orientations, replacing the need for separate devices for different viewing scenarios.
2Ease of operation
If the display device adds rotatable display functionality, then viewing comfort for different content is improved, but users lack guidance on rotation operations and stop/return functions
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that provide real-time guidance to users during display rotation operations. When the display is rotated, the system detects the rotation state and provides corresponding visual or textual guidance on how to perform stop and return operations. This feedback loop helps users understand and control the rotatable display functionality without increasing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device automatically detects rotation states and provides contextual guidance without requiring users to consult external manuals or settings. The system self-adapts by showing relevant operation hints based on the current display orientation and content type, making the complex rotation controls intuitive and easy to use.
3Ease of operation
If the display device provides visual effects and guide messages during rotation, then user convenience is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares visual effects and guide messages in advance based on predicted user needs. When rotation is detected or anticipated, the system pre-loads appropriate visual transitions and guidance texts, so they are immediately available when needed. This preliminary preparation reduces processing delays and maintains smooth user experience without adding significant system complexity.

AI summary
A method of controlling a display device outputting an image in either one of display modes including a horizontal mode and a vertical mode, the display device including a display configured to be rotatable, includes displaying at least one user interface (UI) element corresponding to at least one image content. The method further includes based on a user instruction of positioning a highlight on a first UI element among the displayed at least one UI element, identifying whether a resolution of a first image content corresponding to the first UI element corresponds to a current display mode, and based on the resolution of the first image content being identified to not correspond to the current display mode, providing a visual effect to the first UI element.
