Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display systems face issues in accurately displaying information across multiple displays without losing important content due to non-display areas, leading to potential loss of critical user information.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle display system that includes a determination unit to assess the importance of content overlapping non-display areas and adjusts the display area accordingly, ensuring critical information is displayed without omission by cutting, blurring, or reallocating it across adjacent displays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If content is displayed across multiple displays to bridge non-display areas, then the display area is enlarged and more information can be viewed, but important information may be lost in the non-display areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidimportant information
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The determination unit performs preliminary assessment of content importance before display. The system evaluates whether content overlapping non-display areas contains important information in advance, and pre-adjusts the display configuration to prevent information loss before it occurs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The determination unit acts as an intermediary between the content source and display processing unit. It assesses content importance and communicates this information to the display processing unit, which then adjusts display parameters accordingly to preserve important information while maintaining large display area

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If content is cut to fit display screens, then information loss is prevented, but display continuity and design integrity are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddisplay continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different display strategies to different regions of content based on local importance. Content overlapping non-display areas is selectively handled - important content is preserved through alternative display arrangements while less important content can be cut or adjusted, creating locally optimized display quality throughout the multi-display system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A display system displays on a first display screen of a first display and a second display screen of a second display arranged side by side with a non-display area sandwiched between the first display screen and the second display screen. The display system includes: a determination unit that determines whether a content includes information necessary for an user when the content across the first display screen and the second display screen is displayed to bridge the non-display area; and a display processing unit that displays the content by changing a display area based on a determination result of the determination unit.
