Dynamic Display Region Control with Visual Deletion Cues
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display control methods fail to clearly indicate which display objects are deleted and re-displayed during changes in screen size, leading to user confusion.
Innovation Solution
A display control device with a display region setting unit, display control unit, and priority setting unit that dynamically adjusts display region sizes and object priorities, using visual processing to indicate object deletion and re-display based on relative priority.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If display objects are deleted and re-displayed suddenly in response to size changes, then the display can adapt to dynamic screen size changes, but users cannot recognize which objects are deleted or re-displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by gradually changing the display state of objects before actual deletion occurs. When a display region shrinks, objects are first dimmed or faded out progressively, giving users advance notice of upcoming deletions. This preliminary visual feedback allows users to recognize which objects will be deleted before the actual deletion happens, resolving the information loss problem while maintaining display adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by providing real-time visual cues about object deletion status. As display regions dynamically change size, the system continuously monitors which objects will be affected and provides feedback through visual indicators (such as dimming, outlining, or positional changes) to inform users about upcoming deletions or re-displays. This feedback loop maintains user awareness throughout the dynamic display adjustment process.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple display objects are arranged in a limited space, then the display region can accommodate more information, but it becomes difficult to manage object priorities and visibility
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments display objects into different priority levels or categories, allowing systematic management of multiple objects in limited space. By dividing objects into priority groups (e.g., high, medium, low priority), the system provides a structured approach to managing visibility and deletion order. This segmentation makes priority management easier while accommodating a larger quantity of display objects within the same display region.

AI summary
A display control device includes a display region setting unit configured to dynamically change a size of one or a plurality of display regions provided on a screen by changing a position of a boundary line of the display regions, a display control unit configured to dynamically change a size of an arrangement region provided in the display region in response to a dynamic change in size of the display region, and control display of at least one or more display objects arranged in the arrangement region, and a priority setting unit configured to set relative priority of the display objects provided in the same arrangement region, wherein the display control unit controls display of the display object by visual processing, based on the set priority, in response to a dynamic change in size of the display region and the arrangement region.
