Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle display systems are limited in their ability to perform integrated searches across multiple displays, restricting search functionality to specific menus and areas, and lack intuitive image recognition and navigation guidance.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus utilizing multiple displays with an input part, memory, and processor to execute integrated search functions, allowing seamless interaction between upper and lower displays for enhanced search capabilities, intuitive image recognition, and adaptive navigation guidance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If search functionality is limited to a specific menu within a single display area, then the system complexity is reduced, but the search scope and functionality are restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple display areas (upper and lower displays) into a unified search system. The search window can be displayed across both displays, allowing users to perform integrated searches that span multiple menu types and categories, thereby expanding search scope while managing system complexity through coordinated control
Solution Approach 2:
The search system is designed to handle multiple menu types (navigation, media, phone, etc.) through a single integrated search interface. The processor controls the display of search windows that can adapt to different menu contexts, making the search functionality universal across various vehicle information systems
2Loss of information
If the search window is displayed on a single display, then the display system is simpler, but the information presentation capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the vertical arrangement of upper and lower displays to expand the search information presentation. Search results and related information can be distributed across both displays vertically, allowing more comprehensive information display without requiring excessive horizontal space, thus reducing information loss while controlling display complexity
3Adaptability or versatility
If integrated search across multiple displays is implemented, then the search functionality is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processor acts as an intermediary that coordinates between the upper and lower displays. It receives search commands, determines the appropriate search scope across different menus, and controls the display of search windows on the suitable display, thereby enabling integrated search functionality while managing the complexity of multi-display coordination through centralized control
