Solution Overview

Problem

In dual-screen electronic devices with different physical sizes and resolutions, cross-screen breakage occurs when displaying interrelated contextual content, leading to misalignment of content across screens.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method that determines and adjusts data for each display unit based on display parameters such as pixels per unit area, ensuring that both screens display the same size when showing the same object by using a consistent adjustment parameter.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If display screens of different physical sizes and resolutions display interrelated contextual content, then the display area and adaptability are improved, but cross-screen breakage and content misalignment occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidcontent alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting display parameters (such as scaling factors, coordinate transformations, and rendering resolutions) based on the specific characteristics of each display screen. The system dynamically modifies these parameters to ensure that the same content object displays at consistent visual sizes across screens with different physical dimensions and pixel densities, thereby resolving the content misalignment issue while maintaining adaptability to various display configurations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that acts as a mediator between the content source and the diverse display screens. This intermediary layer performs coordinate space transformations, scales content appropriately, and manages the rendering process to ensure consistent display across different screens. The intermediary processing layer abstracts the differences between various display configurations, allowing content to be displayed consistently without direct adaptation to each specific screen

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If display screens of different physical sizes and resolutions display interrelated contextual content, then the adaptability is improved, but the display consistency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay compatibilityVSAvoiddisplay consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by creating a unified content rendering system that can adapt to multiple display configurations simultaneously. The system uses universal coordinate systems and scaling mechanisms that work across different screen types, ensuring that the same content maintains consistent visual properties regardless of the specific display device. This universal approach enables the system to handle diverse display configurations while maintaining display consistency through standardized processing methods

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

3Stability of the object's composition

If content is adjusted for different display parameters, then the display consistency is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay consistencyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing display parameters, scaling factors, and coordinate transformation data for different screen configurations. The system prepares content in advance with embedded metadata about optimal display settings, allowing for consistent rendering without complex real-time calculations. This preliminary preparation reduces processing complexity during actual display operations while maintaining display consistency across different screens

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A data processing method applied to a first electronic device. The method includes determining first data and second data corresponding to a first display unit and a second display unit respectively based on an obtained to-be-displayed data; adjusting the first data and the second data to obtain target first data and target second data respectively based on an adjustment parameter, the adjustment parameter being determined based on display parameters of the first display unit and the second display unit, the display parameters being related to pixels per unit area of the first display unit and the second display unit; and outputting the target first data to the first display unit and outputting the target second data to the second display unit for the first display unit and the second display unit to display the same size when displaying the same object.
