Dynamic Display Positioning for Operational Input Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional operational input devices face challenges in providing intuitive and effective display control of functional information associated with operational portions, particularly when multiple operational portions are present, leading to difficulties in user recognition due to hidden information by the user's hand or fingers.
Innovation Solution
An operational input device with a controller that determines whether an operational portion is being operated and controls the display of functional information on a first region inside the portion when not in use and on a second region outside the portion when in use, allowing for dynamic and intuitive display adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If functional information is displayed inside the operational portion, then the display area is maximized, but the information becomes hidden when the user operates the portion
Solution Approach 1:
The display position of functional information is made dynamic rather than static. The controller automatically switches between displaying information inside the operational portion (when not operated) and outside the operational portion (when operated), adapting to the user's interaction state to maintain both display area utilization and information visibility
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares multiple display positions for functional information in advance (inside and outside the operational portion). Based on the detection of operational state, the controller preemptively switches the display position before the user needs to see the information, ensuring continuous visibility without interruption
2Area of stationary object
If the display screen is used as wide as possible, then the display region is maximized, but it becomes difficult to intuitively recognize the operational portion corresponding to functional information
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the display screen are assigned different functions based on the operational state. When the operational portion is not operated, the inside region displays functional information for intuitive recognition. When operated, the outside region displays information to avoid being covered by the user's hand, creating localized display quality that adapts to operational context

AI summary
An operational input device includes an operational portion located on a display screen of a display panel and a controller that determines whether or not the operational portion is being operated and controls display of functional information associated with the operational portion based on the determination. The controller displays the functional information on a first region of the display screen defined inside the operational portion when the operational portion is not being operated. The controller displays the functional information on a second region of the display screen defined outside the operational portion when the operational portion is being operated.
