Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a folding-screen electronic device is designed with a large displayable screen when unfolded, then the display area is improved, but the device lacks unique functions and enhanced user experience compared to conventional devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by utilizing the changing geometric relationship between display portions during folding operations. The system dynamically adjusts the projection of three-dimensional models based on the real-time folding state (half-folded or fully unfolded), transforming the device from a static display platform into a dynamic interactive system that adapts its functionality according to its physical configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a third dimension by projecting three-dimensional models onto the folding screen surfaces. Instead of displaying traditional two-dimensional content, the system renders 3D objects that can be observed from different angles and depths, creating immersive spatial experience that adds a new dimension to display capabilities.
2Ease of manufacture
If a three-dimensional model is projected on the folding screen based on user observation point, then the three-dimensional visual effect is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs self-service mechanisms where the display portions automatically detect the folding state through their own geometric configuration and the processor automatically calculates the corresponding projection parameters. The system serves itself by using the physical state of the folding screen to trigger appropriate display content without requiring external manual configuration or complex user input.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical tracking systems with a computational geometry approach. Instead of using sensors to track user position or complex mechanical adjustments, the system uses the inherent geometric relationships of the folding screen structure to determine projection parameters, substituting mechanical complexity with mathematical calculations based on the folding state.
3Ease of operation
If the projected image changes with user movement to present different viewing effects, then the playability and gaming experience are improved, but the response time and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-calculating and preparing multiple projection configurations for different folding states and observation angles. The processor maintains a library of three-dimensional models and their corresponding projection parameters, allowing for rapid switching between different viewing effects without real-time calculation delays, thus reducing response time while maintaining interactivity.

AI summary
A display method and an electronic device are provided. The method is applied to a folding-screen electronic device including a first display portion and a second display portion. The method includes: displaying, based on an observation point of a user and a three-dimensional model of a preset object at a first moment, a first projected image of the preset object through the first display portion, and displaying a second projected image of the preset object through the second display portion when it is determined that a folding-screen electronic device is in a half-folded state; and displaying, based on a second position, a third projected image of the preset object through the first display portion, and displaying a fourth projected image of the preset object through the second display portion when it is detected that the observation point of the user is moved from a first position to the second position.
