Multi-View Screen Control for Hyperlinked Registered Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices lack the functionality to execute applications that control registered devices via hyperlinks on the screen and update device information accordingly.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a display, memory, and processor that can identify if a device is registered to a user account, allowing it to display a first application screen with linked device information and a second application screen for control, and transmit relevant information to the device upon user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a display device provides multi-view function to display multiple screens, then the screen utilization and information display capacity are improved, but the functionality to execute applications controlling registered devices via hyperlinks is missing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the multi-view display function with the application execution function by allowing the second application screen to be displayed within the multi-view interface. This integration enables the display device to both show multiple views and execute device control applications simultaneously, resolving the contradiction between versatility and complexity by combining existing functions into a unified system.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device is enhanced with multi-functionality to serve multiple purposes: it can display the first application screen with hyperlinks, detect selections, execute the second application for device control, and update device information. This universal approach allows a single device to handle various functions without requiring separate dedicated devices, thereby improving adaptability.
2Ease of operation
If the display device displays the first application screen with hyperlinked device information, then the information accessibility is improved, but the automatic execution of control applications and information updates is not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring hyperlinks in the first application screen that automatically trigger the second application when selected. The processor is pre-programmed to detect the hyperlink selection and automatically execute the device control application without requiring manual intervention, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the processor detects user selection of hyperlinks and automatically responds by executing the appropriate control application. This feedback loop ensures that user actions on the first screen directly trigger automated responses in the second application, creating a seamless user experience that combines accessibility with automation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display device updates information on registered devices, then the device functionality and user interaction are improved, but the integration of multi-view display with device control and information update is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display functionality into distinct areas: the first application screen for information display with hyperlinks, and the second application screen for device control and information update. This segmentation allows each function to operate independently while being integrated into the overall multi-view system, improving adaptability without excessive complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The processor acts as an intermediary that coordinates between the multi-view display, the first application screen with hyperlinks, and the second application for device control. It mediates the communication and data flow between these components, enabling seamless integration of display, control, and information update functions while managing system complexity.

AI summary
An electronic device may include a display, a memory for storing at least one instruction, and at least one processor connected to the memory so as to control the electronic device, wherein the at least one processor executes the at least one instruction so as to: control the display such that a first application screen, which may include a first UI to which information related to a device is hyperlinked, is displayed; identify whether the information related to the device corresponds to a second application if the first UI is selected; identify whether the device is registered to an account of a user logged-in to the second application, if the information related to the device corresponds to the second application; control the display such that if the device is registered to the account of the user, the first application screen is displayed in a first area of the display, and a second application screen, which may include a second UI for controlling the device, is displayed in a second area of the display; and transmit the information related to the device to the device if the second UI is selected.
