Dynamic Output Area Adjustment for Foldable Display Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices with deformable displays, such as foldable screens, fail to adapt the content display area to changes in the user's viewing area during screen deformation, resulting in a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A data processing method that determines a target output area on a deformable display screen based on the relative position of its components, allowing the display area to dynamically adjust to match the user's viewing needs by using parameters like angle or distance between screen parts, and controlling the size and position of the target output area to optimize content presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display screen deforms to change the user's viewing area, then the user's viewing area changes, but the content display area does not change, resulting in poor viewing experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the content display area dynamically adjustable according to the display screen's deformation state. The system detects the deformation parameters (such as folding angle or stretching ratio) and automatically adjusts the content display area to match the user's viewing area, transforming a static display system into a dynamic one that adapts to changing conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by modifying the display parameters (content display area size, position, and shape) based on the deformation parameters of the display screen. When the screen deforms, the system changes the display parameters to correspond to the new viewing area, ensuring optimal viewing experience across different display states.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the content display area is fixed, then the display system is simple, but it cannot adapt to changes in user's viewing area during screen deformation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by introducing a detection mechanism that monitors the display screen's deformation state and uses this information to automatically adjust the content display area. The system receives feedback from sensors detecting deformation parameters and responds by adjusting display settings, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains adaptability without requiring complex manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies self-service by automatically detecting and responding to display screen deformation without requiring user intervention. The display system monitors its own state through deformation detection and autonomously adjusts the content display area to match the current viewing conditions, reducing the need for complex user input or external control.
3Shape
If the display screen is deformable, then the device has flexible form factors, but the content display area does not dynamically adjust to match viewing area
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the dynamics principle to the content display area, making it dynamically responsive to changes in display screen shape. When the screen deforms into different configurations (folding, stretching, bending), the content display area automatically adjusts its size, position, and shape to correspond to the current display geometry, maintaining optimal viewing experience across diverse form factors.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies parameter changes by modifying the content display area parameters (area size, position coordinates, shape characteristics) based on the detected display screen shape parameters. This ensures that as the physical shape of the display screen changes, the content display area parameters are updated to match, preserving viewing quality and user experience.
