Dynamic Screen Layout Control for Multi-Source Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses face difficulties in intuitively controlling multiple screens, as the main screen is often obstructed by additional screens like PIP (Picture-in-Picture) and lack the ability to move or individually control these screens effectively, making it hard for users to navigate and select content.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus that allows multiple screens to be moved and resized based on user interaction, such as head rotation or touch input, enabling users to intuitively select content by changing the layout and audio output accordingly, allowing for more dynamic control of screen placement and focus.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a PIP screen is displayed on the main screen, then additional content can be viewed simultaneously, but the main screen becomes obstructed and harder to view
Solution Approach 1:
The PIP screen is made movable rather than fixed, allowing users to dynamically reposition it to avoid obstructing the main screen content. The screen can be relocated by user interaction such as touch or head rotation detection, enabling flexible viewing arrangements that adapt to different viewing preferences and content importance.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the PIP screen location is fixed by user specification, then the layout is stable, but the user cannot move or reposition the PIP screen
Solution Approach 1:
The screen layout transitions from a static fixed position to a dynamic repositionable state. Users can interact with the PIP screen through touch or head rotation gestures to move it to new positions, while the screen maintains stability at each positioned location until moved again, combining both stability and adaptability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple screens are displayed simultaneously, then content selection capability increases, but individual control of each screen becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
Head rotation detection serves as an intermediary control mechanism that simplifies individual screen control. By detecting the direction of head rotation, the system automatically determines which screen the user wants to control or focus on, eliminating the need for complex manual selection interfaces and enabling intuitive individual screen control.
