Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile devices face complexity in text viewing operations due to limited screen size, requiring cumbersome scrolling and format adjustments, which hinders efficient reading of large volumes of text.
Innovation Solution
An electronic text viewing apparatus with a fast reading viewer that includes a viewing application unit, display unit, viewing data requesting unit, setting data storage unit, and fast reading viewer control unit, which converts text data into optimized format, speed, and scrolling for efficient viewing when a fast reading button is pressed, and reverts to original format upon user request.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If text is displayed in standard format on mobile phone screen, then text can be viewed with basic readability, but scrolling operations become complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic text display that automatically adjusts scrolling speed and display parameters based on user reading pace detection. The system transitions from static manual scrolling to dynamic adaptive scrolling, where the display automatically progresses through text at optimized speeds, eliminating the need for continuous manual intervention while maintaining readability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes multiple display parameters simultaneously including character size, line spacing, scrolling speed, and refresh rate to optimize for fast reading. By adjusting these parameters dynamically based on detected reading speed, the system achieves efficient text processing without requiring complex manual scrolling operations.
2Ease of operation
If text is displayed with larger character size for readability, then text becomes easier to read, but fewer characters fit on screen requiring more frequent scrolling
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts character size, line height, and margin parameters based on the detected reading speed and screen orientation. For fast reading mode, it optimizes the balance between character size and lines per screen to maximize information throughput while maintaining legibility, rather than using fixed display parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The display implements periodic refresh cycles with optimized timing to present new lines of text at rates matching fast reading speeds. This periodic presentation of text lines allows the system to maintain larger character sizes while still delivering high information throughput through controlled temporal presentation.
3Ease of operation
If manual scrolling is used to navigate through text, then user can control viewing position, but operation complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service automatic scrolling that detects user interaction patterns and autonomously controls text progression. The display automatically advances through text at optimized speeds without requiring manual scrolling gestures, while still allowing user intervention when needed, thus eliminating complex scrolling operations while maintaining viewing control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that detect user reading pace and eye movement patterns to automatically adjust scrolling speed and pause timing. This feedback loop enables the system to provide appropriate viewing position control adaptively, replacing complex manual scrolling with intelligent automated control that responds to user needs.
4Adaptability or versatility
If text is formatted for personal computer display, then original document layout is preserved, but adaptation to mobile screen causes line breaks and scrolling issues
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically changes text rendering parameters including character width, line height, and word wrapping behavior to optimize for mobile screen dimensions and fast reading patterns. This allows seamless adaptation from PC-formatted text to mobile display while maintaining reading continuity through optimized line break placement and paragraph preservation.
Solution Approach 2:
The text display system transitions from static PC-formatted layout to dynamic mobile-optimized layout that automatically adjusts line breaks, paragraph spacing, and text flow based on screen orientation and detected reading speed, ensuring reading continuity across different platforms and conditions.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic text viewing apparatus includes a viewing application unit that outputs viewing data for displaying a text in a viewable manner, a display unit that displays the viewing data and a fast reading button for receiving a fast reading request for the viewing data, a viewing data requesting unit that issues a request for acquirement of the viewing data to the viewing application unit, and acquires the viewing data to be viewed, a setting data storage unit that stores setting data for the acquired viewing data, and a fast reading viewer control unit that, when the fast reading button is pressed, converts the viewing data into fast reading viewer data by performing display format conversion, display speed control and scroll control of the viewing data, and displays the fast reading viewer data and a return button for converting the fast reading viewer data to the viewing data.
