Dynamic Background Image Reconstruction for Mobile Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices struggle to fully display background images on screens due to application execution screens covering them.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a posture sensor and processor that reconfigures the background image display area based on changes in device posture and application execution screens, allowing the background image to be fully viewed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If an application execution screen is displayed on the electronic device, then the application functionality is accessible, but the background image cannot be fully viewed as it is covered by the application screen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the third dimension (depth/z-axis) by displaying the background image in a blank area below the application execution screen. This vertical dimension allows both the application screen and background image to coexist without overlapping, solving the contradiction between application accessibility and background image visibility.
2Productivity
If the background image display area is reduced to accommodate application execution, then application functionality is maintained, but the background image cannot be fully displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into two distinct regions: the application execution screen area and the background image display area (blank area). This segmentation allows the background image to occupy the remaining space below the application screen, ensuring full visibility while maintaining application functionality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device posture changes from portrait to landscape mode, then display orientation flexibility is improved, but the background image display area configuration must be dynamically adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The background image display area is configured dynamically based on device posture. The processor automatically adjusts the blank area configuration when posture changes occur (detected via accelerometer), making the system adaptive to different orientations while maintaining simple operation for the user.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic device may comprise: a housing of the electronic device; a display disposed in the housing; a posture sensor configured to generate data used to recognize the posture of the electronic device; at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, operatively connected to the posture sensor and the display; and a memory for storing an application, operatively connected to the processor. At least one processor, individually and/or collectively, may be configured to carry out the operations of: displaying a first background image in a first background image display area configured to display a background image in a display area activated to display visual information on the display; monitoring, on the basis of data received from the posture sensor, whether the posture of the electronic device has changed from a first posture corresponding to a portrait mode to a second posture corresponding to a landscape mode, or from the second posture to the first posture; monitoring whether there is a visual change in the execution screen of an application in the activated display area; based on recognizing, as a result of the monitoring, a change in the posture of the electronic device or a visual change in the execution screen of an application, configuring a second background image display area, which has a reduced size compared to the first background image display area, in the activated display area; reconstructing a second background image from the first background image, so that the second background image can be displayed in the second background image display area; and displaying the second background image in the second background image display area.
