Foldable Display Magnification for One-Screen and Two-Screen Modes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing apparatuses with foldable flexible displays face challenges in maintaining the amount of information displayed on the screen when switching from a one-screen mode to a two-screen mode, particularly when one screen area is halved, requiring manual adjustment of display magnification.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus includes a processor that controls display mode switching between a first mode using the entire screen area and a second mode using a part of the screen area, with individually set display magnifications for each mode, and adjusts magnification based on user input, external connections, and machine learning models to optimize display settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the screen area is halved when switching from one-screen mode to two-screen mode, then the user can place an external keyboard on the second chassis side, but the amount of information displayed on the screen is halved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the display magnification parameter when switching between one-screen mode and two-screen mode. Specifically, when transitioning to two-screen mode with external keyboard placement, the system automatically adjusts the display magnification to compensate for the reduced screen area, thereby maintaining the amount of information displayed while enabling external keyboard usage
2Ease of operation
If the screen area is halved in two-screen mode, then external keyboard placement is enabled, but manual adjustment of display magnification is required to increase the amount of information displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically adjusting the display magnification when switching between one-screen mode and two-screen mode. The processor detects the mode transition and autonomously changes the display magnification parameter without requiring user intervention, thereby eliminating the need for manual adjustment while maintaining optimal information display
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring the display magnification settings for different modes. When the system detects a mode switch, it has already prepared the appropriate magnification parameter and applies it automatically, preventing the need for post-switch manual adjustment and streamlining the user experience
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a display, a memory that temporarily stores display data to be displayed on the display, and a processor that performs control when the display data stored in the memory is displayed on the display. The processor performs a display mode switching process of switching between a first display mode in which display is controlled by using an entire screen area of the display as a display area, and a second display mode in which display is controlled by using a part of the screen area as the display area, and a display control process of, in a case in which the first display mode and the second display mode are switched by the display mode switching process, changing a display magnification to a display magnification individually set for each of the first display mode and the second display mode.
