Multi-View Display UI Expansion for Easier Image Manipulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices with multi-view functions face inconvenience in image manipulation due to reduced size of image manipulation commands as the number of images increases, making it difficult for users to conveniently control selected images.
Innovation Solution
A display device that includes a controller for receiving selection commands, acquiring and changing the attributes of a manipulation user interface (UI) for a selected image, and displaying it across the entire display region, rather than just within the image region.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the number of images displayed in multi-view function is increased, then the variety of content is improved, but the area available for image manipulation commands decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent moves the manipulation UI from the two-dimensional space within the selected image region to a separate dimensional space (full-screen overlay). By layering the UI over the entire display area rather than confining it to the image region, the system resolves the space conflict between displaying multiple images and providing manipulation controls.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a manipulation UI as an intermediary layer between the user and the selected image. This UI acts as a mediator that appears on the full display screen rather than within the image itself, allowing users to interact with the image without being constrained by the limited space within the multi-view grid.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the manipulation UI is displayed within the region of the selected image, then the integration is improved, but the ease of manipulation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the manipulation UI from the selected image region and displays it separately on the full display screen. By taking the UI out of the constrained image area and placing it in the broader display space, the system maintains integration through association while dramatically improving manipulability through increased size and accessibility.
