Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional notebook computers with single displays face inefficiencies in multitasking, especially when integrating artificial intelligence generated content, as interactive operations are limited to a single display.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus with multiple displays utilizes a behavior sensing module to detect when both displays are facing the same side, enabling an operation judgement module to process user interactions on one display and generate results on the other, leveraging artificial intelligence models for analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a single display is used in traditional notebook computers, then the device complexity is low, but the multitasking efficiency is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultitasking efficiencyVSAvoiddisplay configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is segmented into a first display and a second display, allowing independent functionality for each. The first display handles primary interactions while the second display processes AI-generated content, enabling simultaneous multitasking without requiring a single complex display to handle all functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a spatial dimension by adding a second display that can be positioned at different orientations (front-facing, rear-facing, side-facing). This dimensional expansion allows users to arrange displays in optimal configurations for different multitasking scenarios, transforming a 2D interaction model into a 3D spatial interaction model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If dual displays are used to improve multitasking, then the multitasking efficiency is improved, but the ease of operation becomes complex due to determining combined usage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultitasking efficiencyVSAvoiddisplay configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects the relative positions and orientations of the first and second displays using sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers). Based on this detection, the system self-configures the operational mode (front-facing, rear-facing, or side-facing arrangement) and enables the operation judgment module accordingly, eliminating the need for manual user configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors the spatial relationship between displays through sensor feedback and dynamically adjusts the operational mode. When the relative position changes, the system detects this change and reconfigures the display interaction model, providing real-time adaptive feedback that simplifies operation regardless of display arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If AI generated content operations are performed on a single display, then the device complexity is low, but the working efficiency of AI generated content is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI generated content working efficiencyVSAvoidinteraction system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the AI-generated content display function from the primary display and assigns it to the second display. The operation judgment module identifies when the second display is in a suitable position (front-facing or side-facing relative to the first display) and routes AI content operations specifically to that display, separating concerns and optimizing each display's function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Different displays are assigned different functional qualities based on their spatial configuration. The first display maintains its role for primary interactions and content creation, while the second display is optimized for displaying AI-generated content when positioned appropriately. This local differentiation of function enhances overall AI workflow efficiency without requiring uniform functionality across all displays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
