Dynamic Display Area Adjustment Based on Device Orientation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack the ability to determine the location of objects based on the direction they face, making it difficult for users to find objects when the device orientation changes.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a processor, display module, and user input receiving module that determines the location of objects on a display area based on the device's orientation, using sensors like gyro and magnetic sensors to adjust the display accordingly, allowing objects to be easily located even when the device is turned or moved.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the device orientation changes, then the display area changes, but the object location becomes difficult to find
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic object location adjustment based on device orientation. The processor continuously monitors the direction the electronic device faces and automatically adjusts the display area to keep the targeted object visible. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making the display system responsive to orientation changes while maintaining object visibility and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms where the processor receives orientation data from sensors (such as gyroscopes or magnetic sensors), processes this information to determine the current facing direction, and subsequently adjusts the display area accordingly. This closed-loop feedback ensures that object location remains accessible regardless of device orientation changes.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the device is turned or moved, then the display orientation changes, but user interaction becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the display system dynamic by continuously adapting the display area based on real-time orientation detection. When the device is turned or moved, the processor detects the orientation change and automatically repositions or reorients the display content to maintain optimal user interaction, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes display parameters (such as display area position, orientation angle, or content arrangement) in response to orientation changes. By dynamically adjusting these parameters based on sensor data, the system maintains ease of user interaction while adapting to different device orientations and positions.
