Image Display Pointer Differentiation and Screen Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image display apparatuses lack the ability to provide a wide range of functions and enhanced user convenience by visually differentiating pointers and related objects controlled by remote control devices, limiting user interaction and control options.
Innovation Solution
An operating method for an image display apparatus that includes displaying multiple pointers linked to different remote control devices, each with unique shapes, and allowing users to receive user screen view commands to demagnify images and display user screens on the same display area, enabling intuitive control and personalized functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple remote control devices are supported with differentiated functions, then user convenience and control options are enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments remote control devices by assigning unique identifier information to each remote control, allowing the image display apparatus to distinguish and differentiate between multiple remote controls. This segmentation enables personalized pointers and user screens for each remote control device without requiring complex overall system restructuring.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates copied representations of remote control device identities through identifier information exchange. By copying and storing identifier data from each remote control device, the image display apparatus can recognize and differentiate multiple remotes, assigning them unique pointers and user screens without direct physical interaction beyond the initial pairing.
2Ease of operation
If pointers for different remote control devices are visually differentiated, then user interaction clarity is improved, but display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality differentiation by assigning distinct visual characteristics (different shapes, colors, or styles) to pointers based on their associated remote control device identifiers. This localized visual differentiation allows users to easily distinguish which pointer corresponds to which remote control without requiring complex global display changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes visual attribute changes in pointers, such as different colors, shapes, or styles, to represent different remote control devices. These visual variations provide immediate intuitive recognition for users, allowing them to identify and control the correct device without confusion.
3Area of stationary object
If user screens are displayed on the same display area with demagnified images, then space utilization is improved, but image quality may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from a single full-screen display mode to a multi-layered display architecture where the main image is demagnified to create space for additional user screens. This dimensional reorganization allows simultaneous display of multiple information layers (main content + user screens) within the same physical display area, optimizing space utilization while maintaining acceptable image quality through intelligent layout management.

AI summary
Disclosed is an operating method of an image display apparatus. The operating method includes displaying a first image on a display, displaying a first pointer on the display, the first pointer being linked to a first remote control device, displaying a second pointer on the display, the second pointer being linked to a second remote control device, the second pointer having a different shape than the first pointer, receiving a first user screen view command from the first remote control device, displaying a second image, the second image being a demagnified version of the first image, and displaying a first user screen on an area of the display where the second image is not displayed.
