Partial Content Display and Editing via Portable Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a technology that allows efficient checking and editing of content displayed on a display apparatus using a device capable of communicating with the apparatus, particularly in a manner that enables the display of partial regions of content and the application of additional information to these regions.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow a device to receive content from a display apparatus, display a partial region of the content, generate additional information based on user input, and provide this information back to the display apparatus to control or change the content displayed, including features for marking regions, editing, and coordinating movements or enlargements of the partial content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the entire content is displayed on a small device screen, then the user can see all content, but the user cannot efficiently edit or check detailed regions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the content display into two parts: the main display apparatus shows the entire content, while the portable device displays only the selected partial region. This segmentation allows users to view detailed information on the portable device without sacrificing the overall context available on the main display.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to the display system by using two separate display devices at different locations. The main display apparatus and portable device work together in different spatial dimensions, allowing simultaneous display of both entire content and detailed partial regions.
2Ease of operation
If the user interacts with the entire content on the device, then comprehensive control is possible, but the operation becomes complex and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the editing and detailed checking operations from the main display apparatus and relocates them to the portable device. Users can perform editing operations on the partial region displayed on the portable device, which is simpler and more efficient than managing the entire content on the main display.
Solution Approach 2:
The portable device acts as an intermediary between the user and the main display apparatus. It receives control signals from the user, processes them locally, and transmits the results back to the main display apparatus, simplifying the overall interaction complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the device displays the entire content, then no additional information is needed, but the device cannot provide enhanced control or editing capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by displaying and allowing editing of the partial region on the portable device before applying changes to the main display apparatus. This preliminary editing process enhances the overall content control capability while maintaining data consistency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the portable device receives information about the partial region from the main display apparatus, processes user edits, and sends the edited content back to the main display apparatus. This feedback loop enhances adaptability and content control versatility.

AI summary
Provided are a method and apparatus for displaying content. The method includes receiving content displayed on an external display apparatus; displaying only a partial region of an entire region of the content on a device; generating additional information corresponding to the partial region, based on a user input; and providing the additional information to the external display apparatus, and wherein the additional information comprises information provided to the external display apparatus to be applied to the content that is displayed on the external display apparatus.
