Multi-Display Segmentation for Enlarged Area Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display technologies, such as those described in Patent Literature 1 to 3, face challenges in improving visibility and operability, particularly with impaired visibility due to enlarged screens covering the original display and complex operations requiring relative movement of display parts.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with multiple display parts, a display control method, and a recording medium that allows for the selection and display of a specific area on one display part to be enlarged and displayed on another part, maintaining original data visibility while enabling simple operation through touch input and data processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a desired part on the display screen is displayed in an enlarged manner by touching it, then the visibility of the selected area is improved, but the original screen is replaced and the overall visibility is impaired
Solution Approach 1:
The display function is segmented between two display parts: the first display part shows the original screen while the second display part shows the enlarged selected area. This segmentation allows both the original context and the detailed view to be displayed simultaneously without replacing either, resolving the contradiction between improving visibility of the selected area and maintaining overall display area.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-display dimension to a multi-display dimensional approach by introducing a second display part. This dimensional expansion allows the system to present both the original screen and the enlarged view concurrently, eliminating the need to choose between them and thereby resolving the visibility contradiction.
2Measurement precision
If the second display part is moved relatively to the first display part to display enlarged content, then the visibility of the enlarged area is improved, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines and displays the enlarged selected area on the second display part based on touch input without requiring manual movement or adjustment of the second display part. The system serves itself by automatically positioning and scaling the content, thereby improving visibility while eliminating operation complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical approach of physically moving the second display part relative to the first with an automated display control system. The display control unit electronically positions and scales the selected area on the second display part based on touch coordinates, substituting mechanical movement with electronic control to improve visibility without increasing operational complexity.
3Measurement precision
If a part superimposed on the first display part is displayed on the second display part in an enlarged manner, then the visibility of the superimposed area is improved, but the first display part is covered and visibility is impaired
Solution Approach 1:
The display functionality is segmented such that the first display part continues to show the original screen content while the second display part shows the enlarged superimposed area. This segmentation prevents the second display part from covering the first, allowing both areas to remain visible simultaneously and resolving the contradiction between improving visibility of the superimposed area and maintaining visibility of the first display part.
Solution Approach 2:
By introducing the second display part as an additional dimensional output, the system can display the enlarged superimposed area without obscuring the first display part. This dimensional separation allows both the original view and the enlarged view to coexist, resolving the contradiction between improving visibility of the superimposed area and maintaining visibility of the first display part.

AI summary
An information processing terminal (100) includes: a plurality of display parts (10, 20); a display control part (41) controlling the display operation of the display parts (10, 20); and an operation reception part (42) receiving an operation on display data displayed on the display parts (10, 20). The operation reception part (42) receives the entry of selection of a given area within the display data displayed on one (first) of the display parts. The display control part (41) displays data associated in advance with the data within the selected area indicated by the entry of selection received by the operation reception part (42) on the other (second) display part that is different from the first display part.
