Solution Overview

Problem

Double-screen mobile phones struggle with seamless image display across screens, resulting in poor user experience due to gaps between screens, where images are often divided, leading to suboptimal visual effects and incomplete image representation.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method and apparatus that determines if an image needs to be displayed on a dividing line between two screens, calculates distances from image boundaries to the line, and adjusts the display position to avoid the gap by moving or zooming the image, ensuring a complete display on one or both screens.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If images are displayed across two screens, then the large screen format is utilized, but images are divided by the gap between screens resulting in poor display effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoiddisplay precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection to identify images that would be divided by the screen gap before display. By calculating the position of image boundaries relative to the dividing line and predicting potential division, the system proactively adjusts the display position or zoom level to prevent image splitting, thereby maintaining display precision while utilizing the large screen format

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts image display parameters (position and zoom level) based on real-time detection of image boundaries and their relationship to the screen dividing line. This dynamic adjustment ensures that images are displayed completely on one screen or properly positioned across screens without being split by the gap, resolving the contradiction between utilizing large display area and maintaining display precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Manufacturing precision

If images are displayed on one screen only, then complete image display is achieved, but the advantage of double-screen large format is not fully utilized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay precisionVSAvoiddisplay area
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes display parameters (position and zoom level) based on the detected image boundaries and their relationship to the screen dividing line. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system can display images completely on one screen when appropriate, or utilize the full double-screen area when the image can be displayed without being split by the gap, thus resolving the contradiction between display precision and display area utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If the gap between screens is eliminated, then seamless image display is achieved, but additional hardware costs are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay precisionVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a virtual model of the image boundary positions and calculates their relationship to the screen dividing line through software algorithms. By using computational geometry and coordinate transformation, the system replicates the effect of seamless display through software-based position adjustment, eliminating the need for physical hardware modifications to close the screen gap

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
