Hole Area Screen Enlargement Control for Electronic Apparatus
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 the display area.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a hole area that allows for content enlargement through a display with a main area and an enlarged area, controlled by a processor that analyzes the edge area of selected content and determines either interference or non-interference enlargement, accommodating components like cameras, receivers, and home buttons.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If components such as camera, receiver, and sensor are positioned on the front side to provide various device functions, then device functionality is improved, but screen area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into a main display area and an enlarged area, allowing content to be selectively expanded to different regions based on the position of hole areas, thereby maximizing the usable screen space while accommodating necessary components
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes the spatial dimension by creating an enlarged area that extends from the main display area, allowing content to occupy additional screen real estate in a directional expansion manner that avoids conflicting with hole area positions
2Area of stationary object
If screen size is increased to enhance user experience, then display area is improved, but usability is reduced due to hole areas
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts content display by analyzing edge areas and determining whether to apply interference enlargement or non-interference enlargement based on hole area positions, making the display adaptable to different content types and hole configurations
Solution Approach 2:
Different enlargement modes are applied to different content regions based on their proximity to hole areas, with edge areas experiencing interference handled differently from non-edge areas, optimizing both screen utilization and usability
3Area of stationary object
If content is enlarged to utilize the enlarged area, then screen utilization is improved, but content distortion may occur due to hole area interference
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs edge analysis of content to detect the presence and position of hole areas, then uses this feedback information to selectively apply interference enlargement or non-interference enlargement, preventing content distortion in critical areas while maximizing screen utilization
