Dynamic Icon Positioning for Image Display Format Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional photographing apparatuses require complex user manipulation to adjust display settings when changing the orientation or aspect ratio of images, leading to overlapping or interfering on-screen display information.
Innovation Solution
An image display apparatus with a motion sensing unit that allows users to change the display format by moving the device, determining the position of setting information based on the set display format to prevent overlap with the image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display format of the image is changed (orientation or aspect ratio), then the image can be viewed in different formats, but the setting information position becomes fixed and may overlap or interfere with the image
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the setting information position changeable according to the display format. The control unit dynamically adjusts the position of setting information based on the detected display format (orientation or aspect ratio), ensuring that setting information is always displayed in a non-overlapping region regardless of the image display orientation or aspect ratio.
2Device complexity
If the setting information is displayed in a fixed position, then the display structure is simple, but the setting information may overlap or interfere with the image when the display format changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback by using the control unit to detect the display format and automatically adjust the setting information position accordingly. The system continuously monitors the display format changes and provides feedback to reposition the setting information, preventing overlap interference while maintaining a relatively simple display structure.
3Measurement precision
If manual adjustment of setting information position is required for each image, then precise positioning is achieved, but the manipulation becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the control unit to automatically determine and adjust the setting information position based on the display format without requiring manual user intervention. The system serves itself by detecting the display format and autonomously positioning the setting information in appropriate non-overlapping regions, achieving precise positioning while eliminating time-consuming manual adjustments.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables easy viewing of images regardless of orientation or aspect ratio, with intuitive control to adjust display settings without affecting the image display, ensuring that setting information does not overlap or interfere with the image.
Implementation Method 1
a motion sensing unit sensing motion of a body of the image display apparatus

AI summary
Provided is an image display apparatus whose display images can be viewed regardless of an orientation or an aspect ratio of a display image. When a user sets the orientation and the aspect ratio of a live view display, a background frame corresponding to the orientation and the aspect ratio set by the user is selected. Then, a spare region is determined, and icons are placed in the determined spare region. When the orientation or aspect ratio of the display image is changed, the position of the icons is also changed so that the appearance of the display images is not overlapped with icons or information.
