Multiview Tile Layout for Synchronized Multi-Source Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing high definition (HD) and ultra high definition (UHD) displays lack efficient methods to simultaneously present multiple sources of content in a synchronized and customizable manner, with each source being independently controlled and adapted to user preferences.
Innovation Solution
A system and method utilizing a computer memory with executable instructions to define segmented tiles of content on a display, allowing for simultaneous presentation of content from various sources, controlled independently and synchronized, with the ability to resize tiles based on content type and user preferences, and utilizing HTML and Javascript to organize and present content streams.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If multiple content sources are displayed simultaneously on HD/UHD displays, then the utilization of display real estate is improved, but the complexity of controlling and synchronizing multiple content sources increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple independent tiles, each capable of displaying content from different sources. This segmentation allows the display area to be fully utilized while keeping each tile's control independent and manageable, thereby reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
A single display device is designed to handle multiple content sources simultaneously through a unified multiview interface. The system provides universal control mechanisms that work across all tiles and content sources, simplifying the user experience despite the multiple functions being performed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If each content source is controlled independently, then the adaptability to user preferences is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each content source is assigned to a separate tile with independent control capabilities. This segmentation enables users to customize each tile's content and behavior independently, achieving high adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a new dimension of control by allowing independent manipulation of each tile's properties (size, position, content source, etc.) without affecting other tiles. This dimensional independence simplifies the control architecture while maximizing adaptability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If tiles are dynamically resized based on content type and user preferences, then the adaptability is improved, but the computational requirements and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
Tiles are designed to be dynamically resizable and repositionable based on content type and user preferences. This dynamic capability allows the interface to adapt to different viewing scenarios while the underlying system manages the complexity through automated layout algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes multiple parameters simultaneously (tile size, position, content source, display format) to achieve high adaptability. By coordinating these parameter changes through a unified control mechanism, the system manages complexity while maximizing versatility.
