Dynamic UI Display Control for Multiple Remote Controllers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatus control systems face challenges in efficiently managing user interface (UI) display modes, particularly when multiple control apparatuses are used, leading to user interface obstruction and reduced user satisfaction.
Innovation Solution
A control apparatus and display apparatus system that dynamically selects between UI display limit mode and UI display mode based on the activation status of the control apparatus, allowing the display apparatus to limit or allow UI display accordingly, and prioritizing control from the control apparatus with a built-in display unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display apparatus displays UI for control operations, then ease of operation is improved, but user satisfaction deteriorates due to UI obstruction during image content viewing
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus dynamically switches between UI display mode and UI display limit mode based on the activation status of the control apparatus. When the control apparatus is activated, the UI is limited or not displayed to avoid obstruction. When the control apparatus is inactivated, the UI is displayed to maintain ease of operation. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between ease of operation and user satisfaction.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple control apparatuses are allowed to control the display apparatus, then adaptability is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to potential operational errors
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus receives status signals from control apparatuses indicating their activation states. Based on this feedback, the display apparatus determines which control apparatus is currently activated and prioritizes control signals from that apparatus. This feedback mechanism ensures that only one control apparatus can effectively control the display apparatus at a time, preventing operational errors while maintaining adaptability to different control devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus preliminarily determines the activation status of control apparatuses before processing control signals. By checking the status signal in advance and establishing control priority, the system prevents potential conflicts and operational errors before they occur, thereby maintaining reliability while supporting multiple control apparatuses.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the display apparatus limits UI display when control apparatus is activated, then user satisfaction is improved, but ease of operation worsens due to reduced UI visibility
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus dynamically adjusts UI display behavior based on the activation status of the control apparatus. When the control apparatus is activated, the UI is limited to improve user satisfaction during viewing. When the control apparatus is inactivated, the UI is fully displayed to maintain ease of operation. This dynamic switching resolves the contradiction between user satisfaction and ease of operation.

AI summary
A display apparatus including a display unit, a control apparatus, and a method are provided. The display apparatus includes a controller is configured to obtain a status signal from the control apparatus, to select, based on the obtained status signal, a mode from among a user interface (UI) display limit mode and a UI display mode, wherein the UI display limit mode limits displaying a UI to control an output from the display apparatus on the display unit and the UI display mode does not limit displaying the UI on the display unit, and to operate the display unit in the selected mode.
