Electronic Device Content Layout for Position-Aware Multi-User Viewing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices struggle to effectively output multiple items of content to multiple users in a manner that accounts for the relative positions and interactions of individual users within a virtual space, leading to discomfort and reduced immersion.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device identifies the positional relationship between multiple control devices using unique identification signals from each device, adjusts the arrangement of content screens accordingly, and adjusts screen size and location based on user interaction and usage frequency, enabling a more intuitive and immersive experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple items of content are output to multiple users without considering positional relationships, then content output capability is improved, but user immersion and comfort deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by customizing the display content for each user based on their specific position and control device. Different users receive different content arrangements (first partial screen, second partial screen) tailored to their location, rather than a uniform display for all users. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining high content output capability while improving individual user immersion through position-specific content delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by continuously adjusting the content arrangement based on real-time positional relationships between users and control devices. The system dynamically identifies positions, determines positional relationships, and reconfigures partial screens accordingly, allowing the content output to adapt to changing user positions while maintaining immersion and comfort.
2Ease of operation
If content arrangement is adjusted based on positional relationships, then user immersion is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by having the electronic device automatically perform position identification, positional relationship determination, and content arrangement adjustment without requiring manual user configuration. The system autonomously monitors control device positions and dynamically reconfigures content display, reducing the need for complex user setup procedures while maintaining high immersion levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring the positions of control devices and using this information to adjust content arrangement in real-time. The system receives positional data, determines relationships between users based on their control device positions, and feeds this information back into the content display configuration, creating a closed-loop system that maintains immersion without requiring complex manual intervention.

AI summary
An electronic device includes a display; memory storing instructions; and one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to obtain items of content including first content and second content; identify a positional relationship between a first control device controlling the first content and a second control device controlling the second content; and arrange a first partial screen including the first content and a second partial screen including the second content such that the first partial screen and the second partial screen correspond to the positional relationship, and output, via the display, the items of content on the first partial screen and the second partial screen.
