Dynamic Menu Rearrangement for Display Apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses require cumbersome user interactions to access frequently used menu items, as their locations are fixed, and existing solutions fail to automatically determine and prioritize menu item usage based on actual user behavior.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus that dynamically rearranges menu items based on user frequency and duration of use, moving frequently used items to higher layers for easier access, and adjusts the configuration of the user interface to reflect the user's patterns of function usage, including the use of a controller to determine the level of use through various function-performing types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If menu item locations are fixed in existing display apparatus, then the device structure is simple, but the ease of operation deteriorates because frequently used menu items located on bottom or lower layer require several troublesome manipulations
Solution Approach 1:
The menu item locations are changed from fixed to dynamic, allowing frequently used menu items to be automatically moved to upper layers based on usage frequency detection. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by improving ease of operation for frequent functions while maintaining a relatively simple device structure through automated repositioning rather than complex manual configuration systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus performs self-service by automatically detecting usage frequency and repositioning menu items without requiring manual user configuration. The system monitors which functions are used most frequently and autonomously optimizes the menu layout, eliminating the need for users to manually create favorites menus or configure complex settings.
2Ease of operation
If users manually select and add favorite menu items, then the menu can be customized, but the device complexity increases and user convenience deteriorates due to the need to manually select and add items one by one
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects usage frequency and generates personalized menu recommendations without requiring users to manually select or add favorite items. This self-service approach eliminates the cumbersome manual configuration process while maintaining customization benefits, as the system autonomously identifies which functions the user uses most frequently and presents them for easy selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus implements feedback by monitoring user interaction patterns and using this information to automatically adjust menu item positioning. The system continuously observes which functions are accessed most often and uses this feedback to dynamically reposition menu items, creating a customized experience without requiring manual user input or complex configuration procedures.
3Ease of operation
If frequently used menu items are separated and provided separately, then user convenience is improved, but the device complexity increases and the solution fails to automatically determine actual usage patterns
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects and separates frequently used menu items based on actual usage patterns without requiring manual user input. By monitoring which functions are used most frequently, the system autonomously identifies and repositions these items to more accessible locations, improving ease of operation while avoiding the complexity of manual configuration systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus uses feedback from user interaction data to automatically determine usage patterns and reposition menu items accordingly. The system monitors function usage frequency and uses this feedback to dynamically separate and reposition frequently used items, creating a customized menu layout that adapts to actual user behavior without requiring manual separation or complex user configuration.

AI summary
A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a display, an input receiver comprising input receiving circuitry, and a controller. The input receiver receives an input, e.g., a user input. The controller displays a user interface (UI) including a plurality of menu items on the display, performs a function corresponding to a menu item selected based on the input from among the plurality of menu items, determines whether the function has been used based on a type of the function performed, and changes a configuration of the plurality of menu items based on the determination. With this, the display apparatus may provide menu items corresponding to frequently or more used functions to allow a user to easily access thereto, thereby improving user convenience.
