Dynamic Subregion Display Shifting for Vehicle Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display control methods in transportation devices, such as vehicle navigation systems, lack flexibility in presenting information, as they do not allow for dynamic adjustment of the display content between a background and subregion, limiting user interaction and information delivery.
Innovation Solution
A method and device where the subregion can be shifted relative to the background region, with the display content in the subregion updated to show at least a portion of the background content in a different manner, including varying scale and type, controlled by user input signals detected through touch-sensitive or proximity sensors, allowing intuitive user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a subregion is displayed covering part of the background region, then detailed information is provided in the subregion, but the display flexibility and user interaction capability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The subregion is made dynamically movable relative to the background region through touch-sensitive or proximity sensor control. Users can shift the subregion to different positions on the display area, allowing dynamic adjustment of which detailed information is displayed where, thereby resolving the contradiction between providing detailed information and maintaining display flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension of interaction by allowing the subregion to be positioned at different locations on the display area rather than being fixed. This spatial dimensionality change enables users to explore different detailed information by moving the subregion, thus enhancing both information delivery and display versatility.
2Measurement precision
If the subregion displays content at a different scale than the background region, then detailed views are provided, but user interaction and control flexibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Touch-sensitive or proximity sensors serve as intermediaries between the user and the display content. These sensors detect user gestures (touching or approaching the display) and translate them into subregion movement commands, making it easy for users to interact with and control the detailed display without direct manipulation of the display elements themselves.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical control mechanisms with sensor-based detection. Instead of requiring physical buttons or switches, the system uses touch-sensitive or proximity sensors to detect user intent and automatically adjust the subregion position, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining detailed display capability.
3Reliability
If the display content in the subregion is updated when the subregion shifts, then the displayed information remains accurate and relevant, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the subregion's position relative to the background region and automatically updating the displayed content accordingly. When the subregion moves, the system detects this change and refreshes the subregion content to match the new position, ensuring information accuracy without requiring complex manual control.
Data Source
AI summary
In a method and a device for controlling the display on a display area of a display device in a transportation device, data are generated for the display of a background region and data for the display in a subregion of the display area. The display in the subregion covers the display of the background region, and the display content in the subregion displays at least a portion of the display content of the background region covered by the subregion in a different manner than in the background region. The subregion in the display is shifted relative to the display content of the background region, or the display content of the background region is shifted relative to the subregion, the display content in the subregion being updated in the process, so that, in the new relative position between the subregion and the display content of the background region, it continues to display at least a portion of the display content of the background region covered by the subregion in a different manner than in the background region.
