Mobile Terminal Image Enlargement and Navigation Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile communication terminals face limitations in displaying images due to size restrictions, making it difficult to fully enlarge and move icons on their screens while maintaining portability, as existing methods only allow partial enlargement and are limited to touch screen displays.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method for controlling images in mobile communication terminals, which includes a display and a controller that detects user inputs to enlarge, move, and restore images, allowing the entire content to be displayed by using stored position data and touch inputs through keys or touch screens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the display size is increased to show full image content, then the image display area is improved, but the portability of the mobile terminal deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic image enlargement where the display transitions from showing the entire image at normal size to enlarging specific portions based on user interaction. The controller dynamically adjusts the displayed region from a first region showing the whole image to a second region showing an enlarged portion, allowing the display area to adaptively change without physically increasing the screen size.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a temporal dimension to the display by sequentially showing different regions. Instead of displaying all image content simultaneously, the system alternates between showing the entire image and showing enlarged portions, effectively using time as an additional dimension to accommodate more visual information on the same physical display area.
2Measurement precision
If the image is enlarged to show detailed content, then the measurement precision of image details is improved, but the overall image context is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent displays the entire image at normal size before enlargement, allowing users to understand the overall context and composition. This preliminary display of the complete image enables informed selection of which portion to enlarge, ensuring that context is established before focusing on details.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by alternating between showing the entire image and showing enlarged portions. When a user views an enlarged portion, the system can return to showing the full image, allowing the user to re-establish context. This feedback loop ensures that detailed viewing does not permanently lose the broader image context.
3Productivity
If multiple image locations need to be enlarged, then the completeness of image examination is improved, but the operation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic region switching that allows rapid transition between different display states. The controller can quickly switch between showing the entire image and showing different enlarged portions based on user input, enabling efficient examination of multiple locations without requiring separate operations for each region.
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous useful action by keeping the image data loaded and ready for enlargement. Instead of requiring the image to be reloaded or reprocessed for each enlargement, the system maintains the image in a state where rapid enlargement of different portions can occur, minimizing idle time between examination of different regions.
