Font Substitution with Parameter Adjustment for Display Consistency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When data configured with a specific font is transmitted from one electronic apparatus to another that does not support that font, the display configuration differences can be severe, leading to inconsistent and suboptimal rendering of the data.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus method and system that configures data from a first font to a second font, adjusting attributes such as font width, height, kerning, and line space to minimize differences and ensure display consistency, by changing the configuration if the difference exceeds a predetermined critical value.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data configured with a first font is transmitted to a second electronic apparatus that does not support the first font, then the data can be displayed using a second font, but the display configuration will differ significantly from the original
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameters of the second font (width, height, kerning, line space) to match the visual characteristics of the first font. By adjusting these font attributes, the system maintains display configuration consistency across different electronic apparatuses while ensuring font compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary font (the second font) that acts as a mediator between the original first font and the display system. This intermediary font is then adjusted through parameter changes to bridge the gap between font compatibility and display consistency.
2Ease of operation
If the second electronic apparatus uses its native second font to display received data, then display compatibility is improved, but the original layout and visual characteristics are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameters of the second font (width, height, kerning, line space) to replicate the visual characteristics of the first font. This preserves the original layout information while maintaining display compatibility on the second electronic apparatus.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of the first font's visual characteristics using the second font. By copying the layout attributes (width, height, kerning, line space), the system maintains the original layout appearance while using a font that is compatible with the second electronic apparatus.

AI summary
A method of configuring a screen of an electronic apparatus is provided. The method includes obtaining the data that is configured in the first configuration based on the first font, configuring the data in the second configuration, based on the second font, and if the difference between the first configuration and the second configuration is greater than a predetermined critical value, changing the second configuration into the third configuration to then be displayed, wherein the difference between the first configuration and the third configuration is less than predetermined critical value.
