Display Apparatus Page Addition Visual Feedback

Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display technologies face challenges in conveniently adding pages to a document file, as users find it difficult to determine the position where a new page is inserted, lacking intuitive visual cues for page addition.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a receiving unit, display section, and control section that displays a window with a first area for reduced images of pages and a second area for a selected page image, allowing users to add a new page by generating a reduced image of the additional page, which is superimposed on the selected page in the second area and displayed as a bundle of reduced images in the first area.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a menu icon is displayed in a position not overlapping with the bundle of images, then the menu icon is clearly visible, but the user cannot easily recognize the position where the page is added to the document file
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into two distinct regions: a first display area showing the bundle of thumbnail images representing the entire document, and a second display area showing an enlarged view of a selected page. This segmentation allows the system to simultaneously provide both overview context and detailed view without overlap, resolving the contradiction between menu visibility and position recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
A reduced image of the added page is displayed as an intermediary element within the bundle of images in the first display area. This intermediary visual cue connects the detailed view in the second display area with the overall document structure, enabling users to recognize the position of the added page while keeping the menu icon visible and separate.
2Area of stationary object
If the entire document is displayed as a bundle of thumbnail images, then the user can see the overall structure, but the user cannot easily check the specific position where a page is added
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into two functional areas: the first display area maintains the overview of the entire document as a bundle of thumbnails, while the second display area provides an enlarged detailed view of the selected page. This segmentation enables users to easily check the specific position of added pages through the enlarged view without losing the overall document context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a two-dimensional flat display of thumbnails to a multi-dimensional display structure where the second display area provides an enlarged detailed view of the selected page. This dimensional enhancement allows users to inspect specific page positions in detail while maintaining the overview in the first display area.
3Loss of information
If a reduced image of the added page is superimposed on the selected page in the second display area, then the position of the added page is clearly indicated, but the display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A reduced copy of the added page image is created and superimposed on the selected page in the second display area. This copying approach provides clear visual indication of the added page position without requiring complex display processing, as the reduced image serves as a simple visual marker that maintains the relationship between the detailed view and the overall document structure.

AI summary
A display apparatus includes a touch panel functioning as a receiving unit receiving an operation and a display section, and a control section controlling the display section to display a display window including a first display area for displaying a bundle of images of reduced images of respective pages contained in a document file and a second display area for displaying a page image of part of the pages contained in the document file, when an instruction to add a page is received by the touch panel, the control section displays a page image of an added additional page in the second display area and displays a bundle of thumbnail images containing a reduced image of the page image of the additional page in the first display area.
