Multiview UI Tile Resizing with Minimum Size Constraints
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
High definition (HD) and ultra high definition (UHD) video displays face challenges in efficiently managing and resizing tiles on user interfaces to ensure optimal content presentation without violating minimum size configurations, leading to suboptimal user experience.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a processor and computer memory to create and manage templates with tiles on a user interface, where each tile represents content and has a minimum size configuration based on content type and display type, allowing for resizing while maintaining minimum size constraints and executing default operations when resizing is not possible.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If tiles are allowed to be resized freely on the user interface, then user flexibility and ease of operation are improved, but minimum size configurations may be violated leading to degraded content presentation quality
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts tile sizes within defined boundaries, allowing flexible resizing operations while automatically preventing violations of minimum size configurations. The resizing mechanism is made adaptive rather than static, responding to user input while maintaining constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter space of tile resizing by introducing minimum size constraints as boundary conditions. Instead of allowing unlimited parameter variation, the system modifies the acceptable range of size parameters while still permitting substantial user control within those bounds.
2Manufacturing precision
If minimum size configurations are strictly enforced for all tiles, then content presentation quality is maintained, but user ability to customize layout is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides dynamic layout adjustment where tiles can be resized and repositioned within constraint boundaries. The interface responds dynamically to user actions while maintaining quality standards, creating a flexible yet controlled adaptation mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the resizing control into independent tile-level operations, allowing users to customize individual tiles while the system enforces minimum size constraints on each segment separately. This granular approach maintains overall quality while permitting localized customization.
3Reliability
If the system automatically adjusts multiple tiles to maintain minimum size configurations, then content integrity is preserved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting when a resize operation would violate minimum size configurations and autonomously adjusting the layout to prevent violations. This self-correcting mechanism preserves content integrity without requiring complex manual intervention or oversight.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors tile size changes and provides automatic corrective adjustments when minimum size constraints are approached or violated. This closed-loop control maintains reliability while managing complexity through automated responses.
