Dynamic Multi-Window Display Controller for Screen Space Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display apparatuses lack the ability to dynamically control and customize multi-window screen images based on user preferences and content attributes, such as channel settings, viewing reservations, and content types, leading to inefficient use of screen space and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a controller that changes the appearance of windows by adjusting size, location, and visual effects based on user settings, content attributes, and real-time signals, such as preferred channels, viewing reservations, and content types, allowing for dynamic customization of the multi-window screen.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display apparatus displays multiple windows simultaneously, then the user can view multiple contents, but the screen space for each individual window is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic window management where window sizes and positions are not fixed but can be adjusted based on user preferences and content types. The controller dynamically modifies window appearances to optimize screen space utilization while maintaining multi-window functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
Different window types (e.g., preferred channel, advertisement, reservation content) are assigned different visual characteristics and size priorities. Important content windows are given larger areas and prominent positions, while less important windows are smaller or positioned in less prominent areas.
2Ease of operation
If the display apparatus prioritizes preferred content by increasing its window size, then the user experience for important content is improved, but the screen space for other windows is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different display qualities to different window types. Preferred content windows receive enhanced visual treatment including larger size, prominent positioning, and distinctive visual effects, while other windows are displayed with standard or reduced characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates visual copies or representations of content in window form, allowing the same screen real estate to serve multiple purposes by displaying different content types simultaneously with appropriate visual differentiation.
3Ease of operation
If the display apparatus provides visual effects and customizations for different content types, then the user experience is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies content types and applies appropriate window configurations without requiring manual user intervention. The controller autonomously manages window appearances based on content attributes, reducing the perceived complexity for users.
Solution Approach 2:
A single window management system handles multiple content types (preferred channel, advertisements, reservation content, etc.) with different display rules, providing universal functionality that manages diverse content through a unified interface.
