Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display systems face issues where high processing loads during user operations, such as flick or swipe gestures, can lead to malfunctions or reduced rendering performance, especially when displaying content that requires real-time animation, causing the image to lag behind user input.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and method that detects user inputs for moving a display area, identifies the content, and replaces content that would cause high processing loads with a predetermined fixed image, such as a single color or a captured image, during the movement to maintain smooth user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If real-time animation content is displayed during user operations, then display responsiveness is improved, but processing load increases causing malfunctions or reduced rendering performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay responsivenessVSAvoidsystem stability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a predetermined fixed image as a copy or placeholder of the real-time animation content. When high processing load is detected during user operations, the system replaces the complex real-time animation with this pre-prepared fixed image, maintaining visual continuity while reducing processing requirements and preventing system malfunctions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes the rendering parameters of the display content based on system load conditions. During normal operation, real-time animation is displayed with full rendering parameters. When user operations cause high processing load, the system switches to displaying a fixed image with reduced processing parameters, thereby maintaining stability while preserving display responsiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If real-time animation is displayed during display area movement, then user experience is improved, but processing load increases causing image lag or malfunction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidrendering performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent prepares a predetermined fixed image in advance before user operations occur. This fixed image is pre-rendered and stored, so when user operations trigger high processing load, the system can immediately switch to displaying this pre-prepared image without waiting for real-time rendering, thereby preventing image lag and maintaining smooth user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a copy of the animation content in the form of a predetermined fixed image. This copy is used during user operations when processing load is high, allowing the system to maintain visual display quality while reducing real-time rendering demands and preventing productivity degradation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If content requiring real-time animation is displayed, then display richness is improved, but processing load increases leading to malfunctions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay richnessVSAvoidsystem stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a predetermined fixed image as a simplified copy or representation of the rich real-time animation content. This fixed image captures the essential visual information needed for display richness while requiring minimal processing, allowing the system to maintain both display versatility and stability during high-load user operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts display parameters based on system stability requirements. When normal operation allows, rich real-time animation is displayed to maximize adaptability. When user operations threaten system stability, the system switches to displaying the fixed image with reduced processing parameters, thereby preserving both display richness and system reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Provided is a controller configured to execute: detecting an input for moving a display area within a screen, the display area being an area in which an image corresponding to content is displayed; identifying, in response to detection of the input, content corresponding to the image displayed in the display area within the screen; and replacing, in response to the content thus identified being predetermined content, an image corresponding to the predetermined content while moving the display area within the screen, with a predetermined fixed image.
