Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack an effective method to dynamically adjust the display size of multiple images based on their importance, leading to suboptimal user experience in image management and visualization.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus with a processor that determines the importance of each image and adjusts its display size accordingly, using a control program to execute the display of images alongside each other, with larger images displayed for higher importance, and an arrangement determiner to optimize the layout on the screen.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If multiple images are displayed alongside each other in uniform size, then the display layout is simple and consistent, but the importance differentiation between images is not visually highlighted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay layout simplicityVSAvoidimage importance information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by varying the display size of different images based on their importance level. Important images are displayed in larger sizes while less important images are displayed in smaller sizes, allowing the display system to convey different levels of information prominence through localized size variations rather than uniform display

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If the display size of each image is adjusted according to its importance, then the visual hierarchy and user attention are optimized, but the display layout complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser attention guidanceVSAvoiddisplay layout complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by making the display size of each image adaptable and changeable based on importance metrics. The system dynamically adjusts the visual presentation of images according to their relative importance, allowing the display layout to respond to changing information priorities rather than maintaining a static uniform structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If uniform display sizes are used for all images, then the rendering process is simple and fast, but the information prioritization and user experience are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage rendering efficiencyVSAvoidimage priority information
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the display size parameter of images based on their importance level. Instead of using a fixed uniform size for all images, the system varies the size parameter according to importance metrics, enabling efficient visual prioritization while maintaining relatively simple rendering processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An electronic apparatus, storage medium, and method are disclosed. An electronic apparatus includes a display and at least one processor. The display comprises a first display mode in which a plurality of images are displayed alongside each other. The at least one processor determines importance of an image. The at least one processor determines a display size of each of the plurality of images. The at least one processor increases the display size of an image as the importance of the image is higher.
