Mobile Terminal Dual-Side Display Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for an effective method to utilize double-sided display units in mobile terminals to provide information in a manner that enhances user experience and functionality, particularly in displaying images and associated information on separate screens.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with first and second display units, a memory unit, and a controller that allows for different display modes, where the image can be displayed on one unit and associated information on the other, with options for graphic objects and touch-based interactions to switch content between displays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If both image and associated information are displayed on the same display unit, then the user can view them together, but the display space is limited and information may be crowded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display content into two separate display units: one dedicated to showing the image and another for displaying associated information. This segmentation allows both image and information to be displayed simultaneously without competing for the same limited screen space, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and display area.
2Area of stationary object
If image and information are displayed on separate display units, then display space is充分利用, but user interaction becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where a graphic object on the image display unit provides visual cues about available information. When users interact with this graphic object, the system responds by switching displays appropriately, making the multi-display interaction intuitive and reducing operational complexity despite the separated display arrangement.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides multiple display modes, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display modes that can switch between different configurations: showing both image and information on one display, or separating them across two displays. This dynamic adaptability allows the system to adjust to different user needs and contexts without requiring fundamentally different hardware configurations, managing complexity through software-controlled flexibility.

AI summary
A mobile terminal, capable of effectively providing information by using double-sided display units, includes: first and second display units disposed on different sides; a memory unit configured to store both an image and information associated with the image; and a controller configured to control at least one of the first and second display units to display the image and the information associated with the image according to any one among first and second display modes, wherein, in the first display mode, the image and the information associated with the image are displayed on any one of the first and second display units, and in the second display mode, when the image is displayed on any one of the first and second display units, the information associated with the image is displayed on the other of the first and second display units.
