Numeric Controller Interactive Object Selection via Priority Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional TVs connected to the Internet face difficulties in selecting interactive objects on webpages due to the lack of a mouse, relying on numeric controllers with limited functionality, making operations complicated and costly if a mouse is added.
Innovation Solution
A display control apparatus and method that orders interactive objects within a display frame, assigning priority to each based on predetermined rules, allowing users to select them using a numeric controller by entering corresponding numbers, with interactive object marks displayed to facilitate selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a mouse is added to the TV to enable convenient selection of interactive objects, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display frame is divided into multiple selectable regions with interactive objects, each assigned a priority level. The numeric controller is segmented into number keys that correspond to these priority levels, allowing users to select interactive objects by entering numbers rather than using a mouse for precise positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
An intermediary processing module is introduced between the numeric controller and the display frame. This module receives numeric input, determines the corresponding interactive object based on priority levels and position information, and executes the selection, thereby bridging the gap between simple numeric input and complex interactive object selection.
2Device complexity
If conventional numeric controller operations for OSD menu are used, then the device complexity is maintained, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to complicated procedures
Solution Approach 1:
Interactive objects are pre-assigned priority levels and position information before user interaction. The system预先 processes and organizes the interactive objects, so when a user enters a number, the corresponding interactive object can be immediately selected without requiring complex navigation procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The operation mode is changed from continuous cursor movement and positioning to discrete numeric selection. By changing the interaction parameter from spatial coordination (mouse position) to numerical input (priority level), the operation becomes simpler while maintaining the ability to select any interactive object.

AI summary
A display control apparatus is applied to generate an interactive object mark on a display apparatus to enable a user to select the interactive object in a display frame via a numeric controller. The display control apparatus includes a content receiving module, for receiving a display control data; a display content processing module, for generating a display frame and display frame position information according to the display contend data; an interactive object selecting module, for determining a target interactive object according to the position information and an interactive object selecting rule; an on-screen display (OSD) module, for generating an interactive object mark corresponding to the target interactive block; and a frame output control module, for combining the display frame and the interactive object mark to output a combined frame to the display apparatus.
