Dynamic Display Unit Segmentation for Rapid Content Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Multifunctional display apparatuses face increased booting times and user inconvenience due to the large amount of content, requiring improved structures and software for faster content search and retrieval.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a remote controller and wireless communication unit that allows users to control content output by reducing unit size and increasing the number of units through consecutive wireless signals, enabling easier content categorization and recommendation based on user input, such as gestures and wheel key rotations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display apparatus provides a large amount of content, then the content variety is improved, but the time required to search and retrieve desired content increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple units that can be dynamically adjusted in number and size. When consecutive wireless signals are received, the controller increases the number of units and decreases the size of each unit, allowing more content to be displayed simultaneously. This segmentation enables users to view more content options at once, reducing the time needed to search for desired content while maintaining content variety.
2Productivity
If the number of content units displayed is increased, then the content search efficiency is improved, but the size of each content unit is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the number and size of display units based on user input. When consecutive wireless signals are received from the remote controller, the controller automatically increases the number of units and decreases the size of each unit. This dynamic adjustment allows the display to optimize between showing more content units (improving search efficiency) and maintaining adequate visibility of each unit, with the balance shifting based on user interaction patterns.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display apparatus is made multifunctional, then the functionality is improved, but the booting time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus automatically responds to user inputs without requiring manual configuration or complex processing. When wireless signals are received from the remote controller, the system automatically adjusts the number and size of display units based on the signal pattern. This self-service mechanism allows the multifunctional capabilities to be activated on-demand, reducing the need for extensive booting sequences while maintaining enhanced functionality during operation.

AI summary
A display apparatus includes: a display unit configured to display a preset number of units divided from each other, such that some of a plurality of sequentially-arranged content is output; a remote controller configured to receive a control command for outputting others of the plurality of content; a wireless communication unit configured to receive a wireless signal corresponding to the control command; and a controller configured to control the display unit to decrease a size of each unit and to increase the number of units when the wireless signal is consecutively received.
