Dynamic Screen Division for Multi-User Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for simultaneous multi-user operation on a single screen fail to dynamically adjust screen divisions based on individual user information and device conditions, leading to inefficient and user-unfriendly displays.
Innovation Solution
A contents display device and method that acquires operation information from multiple users, dynamically divides the screen based on user-specific information, and displays relevant content in each region, allowing for adaptive and user-friendly operation across multiple devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the screen is divided into uniform regions based on the number of users, then the display can accommodate multiple users simultaneously, but the division does not adapt to individual user characteristics or device conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The screen division is made dynamic by continuously acquiring operation information from multiple operating units and redistributing screen regions based on real-time user characteristics and device conditions, rather than using fixed uniform divisions
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of screen region allocation by adjusting the number of regions, their sizes, and their assignments based on varying user characteristics and operating conditions, enabling adaptive display configuration
2Ease of operation
If the screen is divided into many regions to accommodate each user, then individual user operations can be displayed, but the number of divided regions becomes large making each region too small
Solution Approach 1:
The system does not always divide the screen into separate regions for each user. Instead, it dynamically determines the optimal number of regions based on actual operation patterns, sometimes consolidating regions when users have similar characteristics or when screen real estate is needed, thus avoiding excessive division
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the number of screen regions and their sizes based on real-time operation information, changing the spatial allocation parameters to balance between providing individual user access and maintaining adequate display area for each region
3Adaptability or versatility
If the screen division is fixed, then the display configuration is simple, but it cannot adapt to changes in user positions or device conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously acquires operation information from multiple operating units, uses this feedback to detect changes in user characteristics and positions, and dynamically adjusts screen divisions in response to the feedback, creating a closed-loop adaptive system
Solution Approach 2:
The screen division configuration is made dynamic and responsive, automatically adjusting based on real-time operation information rather than remaining fixed, enabling the system to adapt to changing user positions and device conditions

AI summary
A contents display device configured to enable one or more users to perform screen operations of an application, comprises: a plurality of operating units respectively that executes operations of a screen; a contents storing unit that stores contents to be displayed on the screen; an operation information acquiring unit that acquires operation information related to an operating situation of each operating unit by the one or more users; a screen dividing unit that divides the screen based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquiring unit; a display unit that displays contents stored in the contents storing unit based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquiring unit on the screen divided by the screen dividing unit; and a process executing unit that executes operations performed by each operating unit.
