Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic reading apparatuses lack sufficient screen space for simultaneously displaying auxiliary information such as translations, related information, and notes generated by artificial intelligence, and fail to provide active user activity suggestions.

Innovation Solution

A dual-screen mobile apparatus with slidable displays and sensors that detect relative positions, coupled with a neural network model to generate intelligent display content based on the content and position of the first display, providing additional information and suggestions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a single screen is used in electronic reading apparatuses, then the device structure remains simple, but the screen space is insufficient for simultaneously displaying auxiliary information such as translations, related information, and notes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen spaceVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is segmented into a first display and a second display, allowing auxiliary information to be shown on the second display while the first display shows the main reading content. This segmentation increases the total screen space without requiring a single excessively large display, thus managing device complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes a foldable or slidable structure that allows the second display to be extended from the first display along a sliding direction. This dimensional change enables the system to transition between compact and expanded states, providing additional screen space when needed while maintaining a simple structure when closed.

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

2Area of stationary object

If a dual-screen apparatus with slidable structure is implemented, then sufficient screen space is provided for auxiliary information, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen spaceVSAvoidmovable mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The second display is nested within or alongside the first display in a compact configuration, allowing the dual-screen system to be housed in a space-efficient manner. When expanded, the second display slides out along a defined direction, providing additional screen space without requiring a completely separate housing structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic structure where the second display can slide relative to the first display along a sliding direction. This dynamic configuration allows the device to adapt between compact and expanded states, providing sufficient screen space when needed while maintaining structural simplicity during storage or transport.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If existing apparatuses display only main content on a single screen, then the device structure remains simple, but the apparatus cannot provide active user activity suggestions or simultaneous display of auxiliary information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation display capabilityVSAvoidcontrol system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The second display serves multiple functions: displaying auxiliary information such as translations, related information, and notes, as well as providing activity suggestions based on user behavior analysis. This multi-functionality increases the adaptability of the device without requiring separate specialized components for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The processor analyzes user reading behavior and provides activity suggestions through the second display based on detected reading patterns and preferences. This feedback mechanism enhances the versatility of the device by actively adapting to user needs, while the suggestions are presented on the second display to avoid interfering with the main reading content on the first display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A dual-screen mobile apparatus and a control method for the dual-screen mobile apparatus are provided. The dual-screen mobile apparatus includes a first body, a second body, a first display, a second display, a movable mechanism, one or more sensors, and a processor. The movable mechanism movably connects the first body and the second body and is configured to translate and slide the first body or the second body. The sensor detects the relative position between the first display and the second display. The processor is configured to generate prompt information according to the relative position between the first display and the second display and a content of the first display, input the prompt information into a neural network model, obtain derivative information corresponding to the prompt information output by the neural network model, and generate a display content of the second display according to the derivative information.
