Solution Overview

Problem

Current terminal devices require manual adjustment of window size and position through dragging or touching controls, leading to complex operations and poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A multi-window display terminal device that uses cameras and microphones to automatically adjust window size and position based on user scenarios, language detection, and distance analysis, reducing manual operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual adjustment of window size and position is implemented through dragging or touching controls, then window positioning flexibility is improved, but operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewindow positioning flexibilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects user identity through camera imaging and adjusts window display configurations without requiring manual user operations. The processor identifies the current user and autonomously optimizes window sizes and positions based on detected scenario characteristics, eliminating the need for users to manually drag or touch controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical interaction (dragging windows, touching controls) with an automated image recognition and scenario detection system. The camera captures user images, the processor analyzes scenario characteristics, and the system automatically adjusts window configurations, substituting physical user actions with automated visual and computational processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Device complexity

If fixed window areas and positions are predetermined, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different user scenarios deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewindow configuration complexityVSAvoidscenario adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static predetermined window configurations to dynamic adaptive configurations. Window sizes and positions are no longer fixed but are automatically adjusted in real-time based on detected user scenarios, user identities, and scenario characteristics, allowing the display system to adapt flexibly to different usage contexts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop where the camera continuously captures user images, the processor analyzes scenario characteristics and user identities, and the display system adjusts window configurations accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables automatic adaptation to changing user needs and scenarios without requiring manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Embodiments of this application provide a multi-window display terminal device and method. The terminal device includes: two displays and two cameras that are respectively located on different sides, a microphone, and a processor. The terminal device may determine a display used by a user by using images collected by the two cameras, to adjust a position of a window, so that a front-rear display technology of the display can be implemented. The terminal device may also determine a distance between the user and the terminal device by using the images collected by the two cameras, to adjust a size and/or position of the window based on the distance of the user. The terminal device may also collect a sound of the user by using the microphone, to identify the user's needs and adjust a size and/or position of the window based on the user's needs.
