Divided Display Region Prioritization for Faster Screen Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In systems where a screen is divided into multiple regions for different functions, the increased processing load can lead to delays in function execution and screen updates, particularly in on-vehicle apparatuses, where sufficient speed for executing functions and updating user-focused information is difficult, causing inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing and display device that includes a processing unit which sets and prioritizes the execution of processes based on user-defined region sizes, allocating higher priority and faster update frequencies to the region displaying the most important information, as determined by user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the screen is divided into multiple regions for displaying different functions simultaneously, then the information display capability is improved, but the processing load increases causing delays in function execution and screen updates
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple independent display regions, each handling different functions separately. This segmentation allows the system to process and update regions independently rather than treating the entire screen as a single unit, reducing the overall processing burden while maintaining comprehensive information display capability.
Solution Approach 2:
Different processing priorities and update frequencies are assigned to different display regions based on their importance. Critical regions receive higher priority and more frequent updates, while less critical regions use lower priority. This local differentiation optimizes resource allocation and reduces delays for important information without unnecessarily processing less important areas at the same speed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple functions are executed in parallel on a divided screen, then the functional versatility is improved, but the processing speed for individual functions decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts processing priorities and resource allocation based on real-time conditions and user interactions. When a user interacts with a specific region or function, the system dynamically shifts processing power to that region, ensuring high-speed response for active functions while maintaining parallel execution of other functions at adjusted priority levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing parameters such as update frequency, priority level, and resource allocation are changed based on the current state of each display region. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system can execute multiple functions in parallel while ensuring that critical functions maintain high processing speed, effectively resolving the contradiction between versatility and speed.
3Ease of operation
If the processing device allocates equal resources to all divided regions, then the fairness of resource allocation is improved, but the response time for user-focused information increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of uniform resource allocation, the system implements local quality differentiation where each display region receives processing resources according to its specific needs and importance. User-focused or critical regions receive preferential treatment with higher priority and more frequent updates, while less critical regions receive standard or reduced resources. This approach maintains operational fairness in terms of system stability while optimizing response time for important information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor user interactions and information criticality to continuously adjust resource allocation. When a region becomes user-focused or displays time-sensitive information, the system detects this through feedback and automatically increases processing priority for that region, ensuring timely updates without requiring manual reconfiguration and maintaining fairness through adaptive response.

AI summary
An information processing and display device may include a display device, an input unit that accepts user operations, and a processing unit that performs processing related to a plurality of functions according to a program stored in a storage unit. The processing unit sets a plurality of divided regions on the display and can change demarcation of these set divided regions according to a user operation. When executing a process of generating display data related to the plurality of functions by dividing the information display related to the plurality of functions into a plurality of divided regions, the processing unit prioritizes execution of a process related to a function for which information is displayed in a divided region set to be the largest among the plurality of functions over processes related to other functions.
