Dual Display Switch State Feedback Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional dual-screen display technologies fail to indicate the state and result of display switches between screens, leading to a poor user experience as users must manually determine the switch results.
Innovation Solution
A control method and electronic device that collect input data to determine if a first condition is met, and based on the result, control the first display to show indicating content that signifies the second display's state, allowing users to timely know the switch status between the two displays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If display switch is performed between two screens in conventional technology, then the display function is achieved, but the state and result of the display switch cannot be indicated to the user
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by displaying indication content on the first display that shows the current state of the second display. When the second display is in a first display state, the first display shows corresponding indication content; when the second display is in a second display state, the first display shows different indication content. This feedback mechanism resolves the contradiction by providing users with clear information about the display switch state, eliminating the information loss while maintaining ease of operation.
2Device complexity
If user determines the result of display switch manually, then the system operates without additional components, but the user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically providing display switch state information to the user through the indication content on the first display. The system monitors the second display's state and automatically updates the indication content without requiring additional user actions or complex external components. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining simple system structure while significantly improving user experience through automated information provision.

AI summary
A control method and an electronic device are provided, the control method includes: collecting input data by a collector in a case that a first content is displayed on a first display; determining whether the input data meets a first condition, to obtain a result; and controlling the first display to display an indicating content based on the result, where the indicating content is configured to indicate that a second display is in a first display state to output a second content; where the first display is different from the second display.
