Display Device Pointer Motion External Input Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in intuitively switching to external input on TVs connected to multiple devices, as they need to manually navigate through multiple interfaces and perform repeated operations, disrupting their viewing experience.
Innovation Solution
A display device and method that uses a remote control device to display a pointer on the screen, tracking its motion and switching to external input when the pointer moves outside the screen area, allowing seamless switching between connected devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional manual navigation through multiple interfaces is used to switch to external input, then input switching can be achieved, but user operation complexity increases and viewing experience is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects when the pointer moves outside the screen area and autonomously switches to external input without requiring the user to manually navigate through interfaces or perform additional selection operations. The TV performs the switching action itself based on the pointer position detection, eliminating the need for complex user navigation.
2Productivity
If multiple user operations are required to switch to external input, then input switching can be achieved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of pointer position and automatically executes the external input switching when the pointer moves outside the screen area, eliminating the need for multiple sequential user operations. This preliminary automated action reduces the time required for input switching significantly.
3Ease of operation
If manual interface navigation is used for external input switching, then input selection can be achieved, but user experience is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The TV automatically detects pointer position and performs external input switching without interrupting the user with multiple interface navigation steps. This self-service approach maintains viewing experience continuity while improving operational intuitiveness.

AI summary
An operation method for a display device is disclosed. An operation method for a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: displaying a pointer on a screen; receiving information on a movement of a remote control device; acquiring the coordinates of the pointer moving in response to a movement of the remote control device, on the basis of the information on a movement of the remote control device; when, on the basis of the acquired coordinates of the pointer, the pointer moves from an area in the screen to an area outside the screen, changing an input, which is provided to the display device, to an external input; and displaying an image using the external input.
