Dynamic Operation Guide Display for Remote Control Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices fail to provide an effective operation guide for users when controlling devices using remote controllers, as the operation guides displayed for buttons on the device housing do not adequately assist in operations performed with remote controllers or other remote control methods.
Innovation Solution
A display device that includes an operation source determination part to identify the source of control operations and a guidance display generator to display tailored guidance on the screen, ensuring users receive intuitive operation guidance based on whether they are using a remote controller or a key panel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a display device provides operation guide display for buttons on the device housing, then users can understand functions of buttons on the housing, but the operation guide is not suitable for control operations performed with remote controllers
Solution Approach 1:
The operation guide display dynamically changes its content based on the detected control method. When a remote controller is detected, the display shows guidance for remote controller buttons; when the device housing buttons are used, it shows guidance for those buttons. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between providing useful operation guides and maintaining compatibility with different control methods.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device changes the parameter of the operation guide content according to the control method being used. By detecting whether a remote controller or device housing buttons are being used, the system modifies the displayed guidance information to match the current control context, thereby making the operation guide both useful and adaptable.
2Device complexity
If one button has a plurality of functions, then the device can be controlled with fewer buttons, but users may not clearly understand the current function of the button
Solution Approach 1:
The operation guide display provides feedback to users about the current function of multi-function buttons based on the current operation state. When a button has multiple functions, the display shows which function is currently active or will be executed, preventing information loss and helping users understand the current button function despite the reduced number of physical buttons.

AI summary
A display device displays a guidance display for guiding a control operation on a display screen when receiving the control operation. The display device includes an operation source determination part that determines a source of the control operation based on the control operation received and a guidance display generator that, according to the determined source, displays the guidance display corresponding to the source on the display screen.
