Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional information communication terminals have a uniform reproduction screen during streaming reproduction processes, failing to differentiate the background color based on the source apparatus supplying the content.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus with a display section, communication section, and control section that changes the display screen based on whether the content is acquired through communication, including user-set color and wallpaper information to customize the background and display user information separately.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the reproduction screen uses a uniform background color, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but the adaptability and user experience are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen transitions from a static uniform background to a dynamic background that automatically changes based on the content source apparatus. The control section dynamically adjusts the background color or wallpaper according to identification information received from different external apparatus, making the system adaptable without requiring manual user configuration for each source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-identification and automatic display adjustment based on the content source apparatus. The control section automatically identifies the external apparatus through communication, retrieves appropriate display settings, and applies them without user intervention, enabling the system to serve itself in adapting to different content sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If the display screen is changed based on content source, then the user experience and personalization are improved, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes a feedback loop where the control section communicates with the external apparatus to receive identification information, processes this information to determine the appropriate display settings, and automatically applies the corresponding background color or wallpaper. This automated feedback mechanism simplifies user operation while managing the complexity through systematic information processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes display parameters (background color, wallpaper) based on the identification information from the content source apparatus. By automatically adjusting these visual parameters according to the source, the system provides personalized display experiences without requiring complex user interfaces or manual configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
