1Area of stationary object
If content elements are displayed on display devices with different sizes and aspect ratios, then the display area utilization is improved, but the representation becomes distorted
Solution Approach 1:
The display window dimensions are dynamically adjusted based on the detected hardware parameters of the display device. The system reads the aspect ratio and resolution, then automatically calculates and sets the appropriate display window size to maintain correct proportions across different devices, preventing distortion while maximizing display area utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the display parameters (window width and height) based on the detected hardware parameters of the display device. By reading the aspect ratio and resolution, the system adjusts the display window dimensions to match the device characteristics, ensuring accurate representation without distortion while optimizing the use of available display area.
2Device complexity
If fixed size display windows are used across different display devices, then the display configuration is simplified, but the content elements become distorted on devices with different aspect ratios
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the hardware parameters of the display device and self-adjusts the display window dimensions without requiring manual configuration. The screen editor reads the display device characteristics and automatically calculates the appropriate window size, eliminating the need for complex manual setup while ensuring accurate content representation.
Solution Approach 2:
The display window parameters are automatically changed based on the detected hardware parameters. The system reads the aspect ratio and resolution of the display device and adjusts the window dimensions accordingly, maintaining correct content proportions across different devices without requiring complex manual configuration.
3Manufacturing precision
If display windows are automatically adjusted based on hardware parameters, then the representation accuracy is improved, but the calculation and configuration process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The screen editor automatically detects hardware parameters and self-configures the display window dimensions without requiring complex manual intervention. The system reads the display device characteristics and automatically calculates the appropriate settings, reducing the need for complex software configuration while maintaining high representation accuracy.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for displaying content elements in assigned display windows on a display device, in particular a scale, in which hardware parameters of the display device influencing the display of the content elements on the display device are read out, access is made to at least one content element to be displayed at a given time in a given display window on the display device, to which a given additional information that at least partially determines the given display is assigned, and based on the hardware parameters and the given additional information, and subject to a distortion-free display of the given content element on the display device, the absolute dimensions of the display window assigned to the given content element to be displayed are automatically calculated.
