Problem
Existing information processing systems with flexible displays lack an efficient method to dynamically control and manage the execution of functions and linkage functions based on deformations of the display, leading to limitations in user interaction and device operation.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a controller that detects changes in a flexible display and adjusts the reference position, allowing for the identification and execution of solo functions and linkage functions by associating deformation operations with specific control targets, such as devices or software, enabling seamless user interaction and device operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible display is used to enable dynamic function execution based on deformation, then user interaction and device operation are enhanced, but the system complexity increases due to the need for deformation detection and reference position management
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes reference positions on the flexible display before deformation occurs. When deformation is detected, the system compares the current state against these pre-defined reference positions to determine which functions should be executed, eliminating the need for complex real-time analysis of deformation patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a controller as an intermediary component that mediates between the flexible display's deformation state and the function execution system. The controller detects deformation, determines change amounts, compares positions, and decides function execution, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture by centralizing the complexity in a dedicated control unit.
2Measurement precision
If deformation detection and reference position management are implemented, then precise control of function execution is achieved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring deformation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible display is divided into multiple discrete reference positions that can be independently tracked. Instead of measuring continuous deformation across the entire display, the system monitors specific reference points, simplifying the measurement process while maintaining precision through selective sampling of critical locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms the complex physical deformation of the flexible display into a simplified parameter representation by calculating the change amount between reference positions. This parameter transformation converts difficult-to-measure physical deformation into easily comparable numerical values that can be processed by the controller.

AI summary
An information processing device includes a controller that controls a process according to a change amount of a deformable display from a reference position and changes the reference position. In a further modification of the invention, the controller may change the reference position based on the change amount of the display from the reference position at a time at which the display starts to display.
