Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display terminals, such as electronic whiteboards, lack an efficient method to dynamically manage and control multiple application screens, particularly in scenarios where simultaneous operation and adaptive display positioning are required, leading to user interface clutter and reduced operability.
Innovation Solution
A display terminal system that includes a memory for storing applications and circuitry to display multiple operation screens, with a reception area for processing user inputs, allowing the dynamic repositioning of screens based on user selection, thereby enhancing user interaction and interface organization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple application screens are displayed simultaneously on a display terminal, then the functionality and versatility of the system is improved, but the display becomes cluttered and operability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic screen management where the display terminal automatically adjusts the positioning and arrangement of multiple application screens based on their importance, size, and usage patterns. This dynamic repositioning resolves the contradiction by maintaining multiple screens (improving versatility) while continuously optimizing their layout to prevent clutter and maintain ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The display terminal segments the display area into multiple independent screen regions, each dedicated to a specific application. This segmentation allows each application to have its own optimized display space while the system collectively manages the overall layout to avoid clutter, thus maintaining both versatility and operability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple application screens are displayed simultaneously, then the system can perform multiple functions, but the display layout becomes complex and difficult to manage
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor the current display layout state and automatically adjust screen positions and sizes based on predefined criteria such as application importance, screen size requirements, and current usage patterns. This feedback-driven automatic layout management reduces display layout complexity while maintaining multi-functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes key parameters of screen display including position coordinates, display size, and arrangement patterns based on application characteristics and usage context. By dynamically adjusting these parameters, the system maintains functional versatility while simplifying the overall display layout management.
3Ease of manufacture
If the display terminal uses fixed screen positioning methods, then the system is simple to implement, but it cannot adapt to different user needs and scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from static fixed screen positioning to dynamic adaptive positioning. The system automatically determines optimal screen positions based on application characteristics, user behavior patterns, and current operational context, thereby achieving adaptability while maintaining implementation feasibility through automated decision-making algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The display terminal implements self-service functionality by automatically managing its own screen layout without requiring manual user configuration. The system autonomously adjusts screen positions and arrangements based on detected usage patterns and application requirements, providing adaptability while keeping the implementation relatively simple through automated self-configuration.
