Multi-Screen Display Image Selection via Unified Panel
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-screen display systems require cumbersome operations for selecting images across multiple screens, leading to increased complexity as the number of screens increases.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a display section, display control section, image selection section, and multi-screen display control section that allows users to designate images for multiple display areas using an image designation panel, preventing simultaneous selection of incompatible images and providing warnings for invalid combinations, thereby simplifying the selection process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If image selection is performed individually for each screen in multi-screen display, then each screen can display its desired image, but the operation becomes more cumbersome as the number of screens increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the image selection operations for multiple screens into a single unified operation. When multi-screen display is activated, the system automatically applies the image selection result to all display areas simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate selection operations for each screen and thereby reducing operation complexity while maintaining multi-screen functionality
2Extent of automation
If automatic two-screen display is started after turning ON power, then viewer's favorite image is displayed on at least one screen, but operation simplification is still required for selecting images on each screen
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically determining and applying image selections across all display areas without requiring manual intervention for each screen. The multi-screen display control section automatically manages the image selection process, making the system serve itself rather than requiring continuous user input for each display area
3Adaptability or versatility
If image designation panel allows selection of any input image, then user has full flexibility in selection, but incompatible images may be selected simultaneously causing display issues
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by monitoring the selection state in the image designation panel and automatically preventing the selection of incompatible image combinations. When certain images are selected, the system provides feedback by disabling or highlighting incompatible options, ensuring that only compatible combinations can be chosen while maintaining user flexibility in valid selections

AI summary
A display device including a display section configured to display an image; a display control section configured to arrange a plurality of display areas in a display range of the display section and display an image in each of the display areas; an image selection section configured to select the image to be displayed in each of the display areas from a plurality of input images; and a multi-screen display control section configured to display an image designation panel designating an image of a display object out of the plurality of input images on the display section, determine the images to be displayed in all of the display areas in a lump if the images to be displayed in all of the display areas are designated during display of the image designation panel and a determination operation is performed, and make the image selection section select the images determined.
