Solution Overview

Problem

Current display devices with rotation functions suffer from inconsistent display directions between the screen and OSD menus, leading to inconvenient user interactions and poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A display device and method that includes a receiving unit for operation instructions, a determination unit for rotation angles, an acquisition unit for attribute information, and an output display unit to dynamically adjust the OSD menu's position and RGB values based on the rotation angle, ensuring the screen and OSD menu directions align.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display apparatus rotates, then the display direction of the screen changes, but the OSD menu maintains the original display state, causing inconsistency between screen and menu directions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverotation functionVSAvoiduser interaction convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The OSD menu display state is made dynamic by detecting the rotation angle of the display apparatus and automatically adjusting the menu's display direction to match the screen's orientation. The system transitions from a static menu display to a dynamic one that adapts to different rotation states, ensuring the menu remains usable and consistent regardless of device orientation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If the OSD menu maintains original display state after rotation, then the menu structure remains simple, but the display direction becomes inconsistent with the screen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemenu structureVSAvoidparameter adjustment convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the display parameters of the OSD menu based on the detected rotation angle. By modifying parameters such as the display direction and orientation of the menu according to the rotation state, the system ensures that the menu remains consistent with the screen orientation while maintaining a relatively simple implementation approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If the OSD menu display direction does not match the screen display direction, then no additional processing is needed, but user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoiduser experience quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism by detecting the rotation angle of the display apparatus and using this information to adjust the OSD menu display state. The rotation detection provides feedback about the device orientation, which then triggers appropriate adjustments to the menu display, ensuring consistent user experience across different rotation states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
