Multi-Screen Mobile Terminal Display Control for Seamless Image Continuity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminal display technologies suffer from a sense of incongruity due to frame parts when displaying large images across multiple screens, and they require time-consuming image processing to eliminate frame portions, leading to incomplete display of information, especially for images and text-based content.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a display control method and program that allows switching between normal and complementary display modes, where the normal mode divides images according to screen sizes and the complementary mode skips frame parts to create a seamless display by transferring images that exclude non-display portions, thereby reducing visual discontinuity and ensuring complete information display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If image processing is performed to eliminate portions hidden by frame parts, then a sense of incongruity due to discontinuity is reduced, but image processing time increases and information is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing the coordinates of non-display portions (frame areas) before image display. This allows the system to quickly reference pre-computed data during actual display operations, avoiding time-consuming real-time image processing while maintaining display continuity. The controller stores the positional information of frame parts in advance, enabling fast retrieval and application during image rendering.
2Manufacturing precision
If image processing is performed to eliminate portions hidden by frame parts, then a sense of incongruity due to discontinuity is reduced, but information loss occurs in text and image content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the extraction principle by separating the frame part coordinates from the image content. Instead of removing portions of the actual image data, the system extracts and stores only the coordinate information of non-display areas. This allows the complete original image to be preserved and displayed, while the frame coordinates are used separately to adjust display positioning, thereby eliminating information loss while maintaining visual continuity.
3Area of stationary object
If multiple display devices are aligned to form a large screen, then large images can be displayed, but frame parts cause visual discontinuity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by treating different regions of the multi-device display differently. The system identifies specific local areas corresponding to frame parts and applies different display handling to these regions versus the main display areas. By locally adjusting the display of image portions near frame coordinates and differently handling central image portions, the system maintains overall display continuity while preserving the benefits of large-area multi-device display.

AI summary
A mobile terminal provided with a plurality of display devices arranged such that frame parts surrounding display screens come in contact with each other and an image control section which switchably executes (i) a normal display mode where one display image is divided into display images according to the respective sizes of the display screens of the plurality of display devices and displayed on the plurality of display devices, and (ii) a complementary display mode where one display image is divided into display images according to the respective sizes of the display screens of the plurality of display devices with an image corresponding to a non-display portion formed by skipping the frame parts and displayed on the plurality of display devices. Accordingly, a sense of incongruity due to discontinuity of a displayed image by frame parts can be reduced and a lack of display information can be prevented.
