Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices face challenges in balancing the display of video call user interfaces (UI) with content sharing, as large UIs obstruct content viewing while small UIs diminish the video call experience.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus that adjusts the size of the video call UI based on user gestures and voice inputs, using a processor to control the display to enlarge, reduce, or provide visual feedback when predetermined conditions are met, and considers privacy levels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the video call UI is displayed to be large, then the video call interaction quality is improved, but the content viewing is obstructed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo call interaction qualityVSAvoidcontent viewing area
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The video call UI size is made dynamic rather than static. The processor automatically adjusts the UI size based on real-time detection of user gestures (e.g., hand waving) and voice commands. This allows the UI to expand when interaction is needed and shrink when content viewing is prioritized, resolving the contradiction between interaction quality and content viewing area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Area of stationary object

If the video call UI is displayed to be small, then the content viewing area is preserved, but the video call interaction quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent viewing areaVSAvoidvideo call interaction quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by detecting user gestures and voice inputs in real-time. When the processor detects specific gestures (e.g., hand waving) or voice commands, it triggers UI size adjustments. This feedback loop ensures the UI size adapts to user needs, maintaining interaction quality while preserving content viewing area when not in use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If the video call UI size is dynamically adjusted, then the user experience is enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience adaptabilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting user intent through gestures and voice, then autonomously adjusting the UI size without requiring manual user intervention. The processor analyzes detected inputs and makes decisions about UI scaling, reducing the need for complex user interfaces and manual controls while enhancing adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A display apparatus includes a communication interface configured to communicate with another display apparatus, a display configured to display contents being shared with the other display apparatus and a video call user interface (UI) for a video call with a user of the other display apparatus, and a processor, in response to at least one of a gesture and a voice of the user included in video call data received from the other display apparatus satisfying a predetermined condition, configured to control the display to change a size of the video call UI displayed on the display.
