Foldable Display Posture Detection and Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing foldable notebook personal computers lack adequate control over the display state when the second housing transitions between multiple postures, leading to inconsistent user experiences due to varying display requirements based on the posture.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a first housing, a second housing having a display section, a connection section for rotating the second housing relative to the first, and a posture detection section that controls the display state based on detected postures, allowing the display to adapt to different orientations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the second housing is allowed to transition between four postures to diversify utilization modes, then the versatility and user experience are improved, but the control complexity of the display state increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display control section dynamically adjusts the display state based on the detected posture of the second housing. The system automatically switches between different display modes (normal display, mirrored display, rotation) according to the real-time posture detection, making the control adaptive rather than static and complex.
Solution Approach 2:
The posture detection section provides feedback about the current posture of the second housing to the display control section. This feedback mechanism enables the system to automatically determine the appropriate display state based on the detected posture, simplifying the control process while maintaining high versatility.
2Manufacturing precision
If the display state is manually adjusted for each posture, then the display accuracy meets user requirements, but the operation time and user burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically adjusting the display state based on the detected posture. The display control section autonomously determines whether to display normally, mirror the display, or rotate it, without requiring manual user intervention. This eliminates the time burden on users while maintaining accurate display orientation.
Solution Approach 2:
The display control section is pre-programmed with the logic to determine the appropriate display state for each posture. When a posture is detected, the corresponding display adjustment is automatically executed, preparing the display in advance for the user's needs without requiring manual configuration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display section is reversed between first and second positions to accommodate different postures, then the adaptability to various orientations is improved, but the mechanical complexity of the connection section increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display section is reversed between first and second positions to accommodate different postures. This dimensional change in the display orientation allows the system to adapt to various orientations (laptop mode, tablet mode, presentation mode) without requiring complex mechanical transformations, achieving versatility through simple positional reversal.
