Message Image Display Control for Overlap Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In message image display devices, the display of multiple message images can be limited by one another, making it difficult for users to grasp the contents of individual images.
Innovation Solution
A message image display device with display control, remaining-time-information storage, judging, and updating mechanisms that limit the display of each message image based on its remaining time information, allowing users to view the contents of multiple images by managing overlapping and importance levels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple message images are displayed simultaneously, then information delivery is enhanced, but display visibility and user comprehension deteriorate due to overlap and limited space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display control where message images are automatically removed from the screen after a predetermined time period. This temporal dynamics allows multiple messages to be displayed sequentially rather than simultaneously, ensuring each message receives adequate visibility while maintaining enhanced information delivery capability
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary judgment to determine display priority and overlap relationships among multiple message images before rendering them. By pre-establishing display rules and time limits, the system ensures that important messages are displayed prominently while preventing information loss through systematic management of display sequences
2Duration of action of moving object
If message images are displayed without time limits, then information completeness is improved, but display control and user focus deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic removal of message images after predetermined time intervals. This periodic action creates a rhythmic display pattern where messages appear, remain visible for a controlled duration, and are automatically removed, balancing information completeness with effective display control and user focus management
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates judgment mechanisms that continuously monitor display conditions and automatically adjust which messages remain visible based on overlap detection and priority assessment. This feedback loop ensures optimal display management without requiring manual intervention, maintaining ease of operation while preserving essential information

AI summary
To provide a message image display device enabling a user to grasp a content of each message image when a plurality of message images are displayed. A display control unit (76) causes a display unit (82) to display a screen including a plurality of message images. A remaining-time-information storage unit (74) stores remaining time information corresponding to each of the message images. A judging unit (78) judges whether display of at least a part of the message image is limited by one or more other message images. A remaining-time-information updating unit (80) updates the remaining time information according to the judgment result made by the judging unit (78). The display control unit (76) limits display of each of the plurality of message images according to the remaining time information stored corresponding to the message image.
