Dual Display Mobile Terminal for Web Page Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminal devices face difficulties in effectively displaying and customizing web pages with large amounts of information for small screens, leading to poor usability due to limited display capacity and poor viewability, as well as challenges in understanding content relationships and selecting relevant information.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal apparatus and system that includes a first display section for overviewing data with a guide format, a selecting section for choosing content, and a change control section that rearranges and displays selected content on a second display section, allowing users to easily transform data from a large amount to a small amount of information based on user instructions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a web page for PC is converted to a web page for terminal on a Web server side, then the web page can be displayed on a terminal screen, but it is difficult to understand which contents are present and what adjacency relation is established with another content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a guide page as an intermediary between the original PC web page and the terminal display. The guide page presents a simplified overview structure that helps users understand content relationships before selecting specific contents to display on the terminal screen, thus resolving the difficulty of understanding content adjacency relations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the web page conversion process into two distinct stages: first displaying an overview guide page that shows content structure and relationships, then allowing users to select specific contents for detailed display. This segmentation helps users understand content relationships at the overview level before committing to specific display configurations.
2Quantity of substance
If the terminal screen displays limited information, then the display capacity is reduced to fit the small screen, but the viewability and usability of the information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic display approach where the terminal screen can switch between an overview guide page showing the entire content structure and detailed content pages showing specific selected contents. This dynamic switching allows the system to adapt between displaying limited information (overview) and providing full usability (detailed content) based on user needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a temporal dimension to the display by allowing users to navigate between different display states (overview guide page and detailed content pages). This dimensional change enables the system to overcome the physical screen size limitation by distributing information across multiple display states rather than attempting to fit all information on a single screen.
3Area of stationary object
If data for a screen with a large amount of information is changed to data for a screen with a small amount of information, then the information fits the terminal screen, but the user cannot easily understand which contents are present for customization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by first displaying an overview guide page that shows all available contents and their relationships before the user selects specific contents for detailed display. This preliminary overview ensures users understand what contents are available and their relationships, preventing loss of overview information during the conversion to terminal display format.
Data Source
AI summary
A cellular phone apparatus includes a screen A and a screen B. In a state where an overview of data for a screen with a large amount of information is guide displayed on the screen B (screen for user selection), every time an arbitrary content is selected, the cellular phone apparatus changes the data for the screen with the large amount of information to data for a screen with a small amount of information while arranging and displaying the selected content obtained via a Web server on the screen A. Accordingly, when data for the screen with the large amount of information is changed to data for the screen with the small amount of information in response to an instruction on a user side, a change that reflects the intentions of the user can be easily achieved.
