Hole Area Display Enlargement for Component Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing size of electronic device screens is restricted by components such as cameras, receivers, and sensors, limiting the usability and functionality of larger displays.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a hole area that can be enlarged through a display having a main and an enlarged area, where a processor analyzes the edge area of selected content to determine either interference or non-interference enlargement, allowing the content to be displayed without obstructing components like cameras, receivers, and home buttons.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the screen size is increased to provide larger display area, then the display area is improved, but the screen is restricted by components such as camera, receiver, and sensor positioned on the front side
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into a main display area and an enlarged area. The enlarged area is further segmented into a first enlarged area adjacent to the main display area and a second enlarged area adjacent to the first enlarged area. This segmentation allows the display to expand beyond the physical location of components while maintaining functional separation.
Solution Approach 2:
The display expands from a traditional single-plane layout to a multi-dimensional layout by adding enlarged areas that extend beyond the main display area. The display includes a main display area, a first enlarged area, and a second enlarged area, creating a multi-zone display structure that utilizes space in multiple directions.
2Area of stationary object
If the screen size is increased to provide larger display area, then the display area is improved, but the components such as camera, receiver, and sensor obstruct the display
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the display are assigned different functions and qualities. The main display area displays normal content, the first enlarged area provides enlarged view of selected content, and the second enlarged area provides further enlarged view. This local differentiation allows each region to optimize for its specific purpose without being obstructed by components.
Solution Approach 2:
The display creates enlarged copies of selected content in the first and second enlarged areas. When a user selects content in the main display area, the system generates enlarged versions of that content in the enlarged areas, allowing users to view details without blocking components with physical buttons or controls.
3Reliability
If physical components like home button are positioned on the front side, then the device functionality is maintained, but the screen size expansion is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The display serves multiple functions: it acts as both the primary information display and the control interface. The enlarged areas provide both display functionality and touch control capabilities, replacing the need for separate physical buttons while maintaining device functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The display and control functions are merged into a single integrated interface. The enlarged areas serve dual purposes as both display regions and touch-sensitive control zones, eliminating the need for separate physical components like home buttons and enabling larger screen area.
