Dynamic Layer Display for Seamless Content Browsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile devices are inconvenient and complex for users to search for other contents while playing content, as they require minimizing or ending the current content to access a new content list, reducing user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A contents playback system based on a dynamic layer, featuring a first display unit for outputting a content list and a second display unit that overlays information of the playback content, allowing the second display unit to switch between deactivated, activated, and unfocused states for seamless content searching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the current content is minimized or ended to access a new content list, then the user can search for other contents, but the operation becomes inconvenient and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple display areas: a first display area for showing the content list and a second display area for showing playback information. This segmentation allows users to access the content list without minimizing or ending the current playback, enabling easy content searching while maintaining the current content display.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a spatial dimension solution by dividing the display into multiple areas rather than using temporal switching (minimize/end). The content list and playback information are displayed simultaneously in different spatial regions, transforming the operation from a sequential process to a parallel display arrangement that simplifies user interaction.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the content list window is opened after minimizing or ending the current content, then other contents can be searched, but user convenience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the content list display and playback information display into a single screen interface. The first display area shows the content list while the second display area shows playback information simultaneously, allowing users to search for contents during playback without interrupting the current experience, thereby enhancing both adaptability and ease of operation.
3Loss of information
If the second display unit is always activated, then playback information is continuously displayed, but it may obstruct content list viewing
Solution Approach 1:
The second display unit is designed to be dynamic, switching between an activated state (showing playback information) and a deactivated state (not showing playback information). This dynamic behavior allows the system to adapt to different user needs: when playback information is needed, the second display area is activated; when content list viewing is prioritized, the second display area is deactivated, thus balancing information visibility and display area availability.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a contents playback system based on a dynamic layer, which is implemented in a mobile device for playing contents on the basis of a dynamic layer, the contents playback system including at least: a first display unit for outputting a first content list; and a second display unit which is disposed while overlapping the first display unit and displays information on currently played playback contents, wherein the second display unit comprises a progress unit for representing a progress state and a display unit for displaying a screen of the playback contents, and the mode of the second display unit varies to one of a first mode corresponding to a deactivated state and a second mode corresponding to an activated state.
