Dual Display Screen System for Smart TV Push Message Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Smart televisions face user experience issues due to push messages, such as weather notifications and application updates, that pop up on the screen during video playback, covering the interface and disrupting the viewing experience.
Innovation Solution
A dual-display system where a first display screen shows primary content like movies, and a second display screen shows push messages, recommendations, or notifications, allowing users to manage these messages without interrupting the main content by using a controller to handle communication with servers and external devices for content and user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If push messages are displayed on the same screen as primary content, then users can view notifications and recommendations, but the primary content viewing experience is disrupted and interface is covered
Solution Approach 1:
The display is divided into two independent display screens: a first display screen for primary content and a second display screen for push messages. This segmentation allows both types of content to be displayed simultaneously without interfering with each other, resolving the contradiction between message visibility and viewing experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a single-screen two-dimensional display to a multi-screen three-dimensional spatial arrangement. By adding the dimension of spatial separation between screens, push messages can be displayed without covering the primary content interface, maintaining both information delivery and viewing quality.
2Device complexity
If a single display screen is used for both primary content and push messages, then device complexity is reduced, but interface disruptions occur during playback
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into independent first and second display screens with separate control mechanisms. This allows the primary content to play continuously on the first screen while push messages are handled on the second screen, ensuring playback continuity without increasing overall system complexity excessively.
Solution Approach 2:
A controller acts as an intermediary to manage the coordination between the two display screens and the communication module. The controller handles message generation, screen switching, and content coordination, maintaining playback reliability while managing system complexity through centralized control.
3Productivity
If push messages are displayed automatically without user interaction, then information delivery is improved, but user control over message display is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides automatic push message display functionality that operates without continuous user intervention. The controller automatically manages message presentation on the second display screen, improving information delivery efficiency while the user can still control the system through the communication interface when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system dynamically adjusts its behavior based on user needs. Push messages are displayed automatically when appropriate, but the system can also respond to user commands to pause, redirect, or modify message display. This dynamic adaptability balances information delivery efficiency with user control.

AI summary
Disclosed are display apparatus and method. The method includes: a first controller of a display apparatus obtains information of a video image in a first user interface on a first display screen of a display apparatus and sends the information of the video image to a server through a first communicator associated with the first controller, where the server is configured to obtain a search identifier of an object in the video image according to the information of the video image and send the search identifier to a second controller of the display apparatus. A second controller of the display apparatus receives the search identifier through a second communicator associated with the second controller and controls a second display screen of the display apparatus to display a third user interface, where the third user interface includes the search identifier of the object in the video image.
