Dynamic Window Sizing via Distinct Touch Gestures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current window display control systems require users to perform complex operations to adjust window sizes, which can increase user burden and impair recognizability, especially when trying to display multiple icons or symbols.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a detection section and controller that responds to different touch operations by altering the size of windows and symbols displayed, allowing users to easily set window sizes through intuitive touch gestures, such as tapping, flicking, or swiping, based on predefined size information associated with icons or regions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If complex operations are required to adjust window sizes, then precise control is achieved, but user burden increases and recognizability is impaired
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of window size based on different touch operations. A first touch operation displays a window at a first size, while a second touch operation displays the same window at a second size that is larger than the first size. This allows precise window size control through simple touch gestures rather than complex operations, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and control precision.
2Measurement precision
If larger windows are displayed to show more icons, then recognizability is improved, but display area efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The window size is made dynamic rather than fixed. The system adjusts window size based on the touch operation detected - a first touch operation results in a smaller window size, while a second touch operation results in a larger window size. This dynamic adjustment allows the display to optimize between recognizability and area efficiency depending on user needs, resolving the contradiction between these two factors.

AI summary
A display device includes a display section, a touch panel, and a controller. The display section displays a first icon. The touch panel detects a first touch operation and a second touch operation different from the first touch operation to the first icon. The controller causes the display section to display a window associated with the first icon upon detection of either of the first and second touch operations. The controller controls the display section such that a window displayed upon detection of the second touch operation is different in size from a window displayed upon detection of the first touch operation.
