Dual Touch Panel Image Interchange for Closed Mobile Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile devices with multiple touch panels face challenges in reducing size when displaying images on low-performance touch panels, as they cannot be closed while showing images from both panels simultaneously, and performance differences between panels restrict image enlargement or full-color display.
Innovation Solution
A mobile device with a decision module that detects a specific touch condition, allowing the display control module to interchange and display images from one touch panel to another, enabling continued viewing of images even when the device is in a closed state and optimizing display performance across panels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the mobile device changes to a closed state to reduce size, then the housing size is reduced, but the user cannot view images on the second touch panel
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by detecting the touch condition in advance (touch on first panel moving toward second panel while both panels are touched) and preemptively transferring the image from the second panel to the first panel before the device is closed. This ensures the user can continue viewing the image on the first panel even after closing the device, as the image is already positioned on the visible panel.
2Device complexity
If images are displayed on low-performance touch panels, then the device can use simpler display components, but the images cannot be enlarged or displayed in full color
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by identifying which touch panel has higher performance characteristics and selectively transferring images to that specific panel. Instead of requiring all panels to have high performance, the system ensures that images are displayed on the panel with superior display capabilities (higher resolution, full color support), while the other panel can remain simpler. This resolves the contradiction by optimizing image display quality locally on the appropriate panel.

AI summary
A mobile device comprising a first touch panel and a second touch panel for displaying images is disclosure. A decision module is operable to indicate a touch condition, if a touch position on a first touch panel is changed to a predefined direction toward a second touch panel, and if a touch is detected on both the first touch panel and the second touch panel. A display control module is operable to display at least some of an image displayed on the second touch panel on the first touch panel in response to the touch condition.
