Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices require multiple user inputs to modify multiple screens, leading to inconvenience for users.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a first display, memory, and processor that allows for synchronizing modifications across multiple screens based on a single user input, adjusting background images of screens based on user input and their characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the electronic device receives user input for modification for each screen individually, then the modification can be applied to each screen, but the number of user inputs required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the screen modification operations by allowing a single user input on one screen to be synchronized and applied to multiple screens simultaneously. The processor receives modification input on a first screen and automatically applies the same modification to background images of other screens, combining what would traditionally require multiple separate user inputs into one unified operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling a single modification input to serve multiple screens. The system allows one user action to perform the function of modifying multiple screens, making the modification operation universal rather than screen-specific, thereby reducing the total number of inputs needed.
2Productivity
If the electronic device synchronizes modification among multiple screens, then the number of user inputs is reduced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the processor pre-configure the synchronization mechanism before actual modification occurs. The system is set up to automatically propagate modifications across screens, so when a user inputs a modification on one screen, the processor is already prepared to immediately apply it to other screens without requiring additional user actions or complex real-time processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically handle the synchronization of modifications without requiring user intervention. Once a modification is input on one screen, the processor autonomously identifies other screens and applies the same modification to their background images, making the system self-sufficient in managing multi-screen consistency without additional user input.

AI summary
A method of synchronizing a modification among displayed screens and an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a first display, a memory to store instructions, and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The instructions, which, when executed, configure the at least one processor to control the first display to display a preview image of each of a plurality of screens including a first screen, receive a first user input for modifying a background image of the first screen in an area in which the preview image corresponding to the first screen is displayed, modify a background image of each of the plurality of screens by synchronizing a modification corresponding to the first user input among background images of the plurality of screens, and control the first display to display the preview image of each of the plurality of screens including the modified background image.
