Monitor Position Control Using Application Metadata Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing monitor adjustment methods require manual physical and electronic rotation, which is time-consuming and tedious, especially when frequently switching between portrait and landscape modes for different applications.
Innovation Solution
An automatic monitor position adjustment system that uses metadata attributes to determine the preferred monitor position and adjusts the monitor using actuators, eliminating the need for manual rotation and electronic selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual physical and electronic rotation is used to adjust monitor position, then the monitor can be repositioned between portrait and landscape modes, but the process becomes time-consuming and tedious
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes a data store with metadata attributes that map applications to preferred monitor positions. When an application is launched, the system automatically retrieves and applies the pre-determined position mapping, eliminating the need for manual adjustment at the moment of switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The monitor system automatically detects application metadata and self-adjusts its position based on the mapped preferences, without requiring user intervention. The actuator system autonomously executes position changes based on application context.
2Adaptability or versatility
If frequent switching between portrait and landscape modes is performed, then different application requirements can be met, but the manual adjustment process becomes increasingly tedious
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors application context through metadata attributes and provides real-time feedback to the position control system. This closed-loop approach ensures the monitor position always matches the current application's requirements without user awareness or intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The data store stores multiple position mappings for different applications and categories, allowing a single monitor system to serve multiple functions and adapt to various application requirements through a unified automated control mechanism.
3Measurement precision
If manual electronic selection is required for monitor orientation, then precise control over monitor position is achieved, but the complexity of the adjustment process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary layer consisting of metadata attributes and a data store that bridges the application context and the physical monitor position. This intermediary automatically translates application requirements into position commands, simplifying the user interface while maintaining precise control.
Data Source
AI summary
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to automatic monitor position adjustment. An indication that an application is being launched is received. A preferred monitor position for the application is determined by referencing a data store mapping preferred monitor positions to respective metadata attributes, where the preferred monitor position for the application is determined based on the preferred monitor position being mapped to a first metadata attribute associated with the application within the data store. An actuator associated with the monitor is then instructed to adjust the position of the monitor to the preferred monitor position.
