Motorized Display Orientation Adaptation for External Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users experience limited viewing experiences when consuming content on mobile devices compared to traditional displays like TVs, especially when viewing vertical content on devices with horizontally oriented displays, as existing technologies lack methods for efficiently browsing and rotating content from external devices.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus equipped with a communication module, motor for rotation, user input module, memory, and processor that controls the display to rotate and manage content from external devices, allowing users to switch between orientations and browse content history, recently connected devices, and play content in multi-view modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display is rotated to vertical orientation to view vertical content, then the viewing experience is improved, but the method of browsing contents and recently connected external devices is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus dynamically adjusts the orientation of the display panel based on the detected orientation of the external device (smartphone). When the external device is held vertically, the display rotates to vertical orientation; when held horizontally, the display rotates to horizontal orientation. This dynamic adaptation ensures optimal viewing experience while maintaining efficient content browsing capability through the proposed UI interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus is designed to perform multiple functions: displaying content from external devices, browsing content history, managing recently connected devices, and adapting display orientation. The system universally handles both vertical and horizontal content formats, and provides comprehensive browsing capabilities regardless of display orientation through the proposed screen interface design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional horizontal display is used, then the device structure is simple, but the viewing experience for vertical content is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic display orientation adjustment through a motor-driven rotation mechanism. The display panel can rotate between horizontal and vertical orientations based on the detected orientation of the external device, enabling the system to adapt to different content formats without requiring multiple fixed displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus is designed to handle both horizontal and vertical content formats universally. The single display panel serves multiple purposes: displaying live content from external devices, showing content history, managing device connections, and adapting to different orientations, eliminating the need for separate displays for different content types.
3Ease of operation
If the display rotates to match content orientation, then the viewing experience is enhanced, but the browsing method for contents and external devices needs to be developed
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus dynamically rotates the display panel to match the orientation of the external device. The system detects whether the smartphone is held vertically or horizontally and automatically adjusts the display orientation accordingly, providing an immersive viewing experience that adapts to user holding patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The proposed screen interface design provides universal browsing capability for content history and recently connected devices regardless of display orientation. The interface is designed to function effectively in both vertical and horizontal modes, allowing users to navigate and select content seamlessly whether the display is rotated or not.

AI summary
A display apparatus including a communication module comprising circuitry; a display; a motor configured to rotate the display; a user input module; a memory storing at least one instruction; and a processor in communication with the communication module, the display, the motor, the user input module, and the memory to control the display apparatus. The processor, upon execution of the stored at least one instruction, is configured to control the display to display a first screen based on the display being placed in a first orientation, and based on a first user command being input through the user input module while the first screen is displayed, control the display to display at least one second screen having a history of being displayed on the display and information on the display orientation of the at least one second screen being displayed.
