Mobile Terminal Display Segmentation for Shopping Note Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing apparatuses for generating shopping notes are cumbersome, requiring users to enlarge screens and risk selecting adjacent products incorrectly, leading to a desire for a more user-friendly and operable solution.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a display device featuring a first and second display region, where the controller displays an electronic flyer in the first region and generates a product list in the second region, allowing users to easily select products and generate shopping notes without the risk of selecting adjacent products.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the electronic flyer is displayed in a narrow display column, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates because users must enlarge the screen to select products and risk selecting adjacent products incorrectly
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple display columns, each dedicated to displaying products from a specific store. This segmentation allows users to view multiple products simultaneously without requiring screen enlargement, while the column-based organization prevents selection errors by isolating product touch zones. The controller manages each display column independently to handle product selection operations.
2Ease of operation
If the screen is enlarged to select products, then the ease of operation improves, but the loss of time increases because users must zoom in and out and risk selection errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-organizing products into display columns before user selection. Each display column is pre-configured with products from a specific store, and the controller pre-calculates touch zone boundaries. This preliminary organization eliminates the need for users to enlarge the screen during selection, as all necessary product information is already visible and properly delimited in their original positions.

AI summary
According to an embodiment, a mobile terminal displays a flyer in a first display region of a display device (display unit). The mobile terminal generates a product list containing pieces of information of a plurality of products included in the flyer and displays the generated product list in a second display region of the display device. Further, the mobile terminal generates a shopping note of a product selected from the product list by an operator and displays the generated purchase list on the display device.
