Priority-Based Image Display Control in Single-Layer Structures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image display technologies on electronic devices cannot control the order of images within a single layer, leading to limitations in displaying multiple images on a single layer based on priority.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that utilize a layer structure with a storage unit to store priority levels for display requests, a determining unit to assess display priority, and a display unit to manage the display of information based on these priorities, allowing for controlled display of images on the same layer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If images are displayed in the order according to display request on a single layer, then the display process is simple, but the ability to control display priority among multiple images is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display system into multiple layers, where each layer can independently manage image display requests. By dividing the display space into layered segments, the system can control priority within each layer while maintaining overall simplicity. Each layer acts as an independent segment that processes display requests with specific priority rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension (layer depth) to the traditional single-layer display system. By adding the layer dimension, the system gains the ability to control display priority through layer stacking order, while the display process within each layer remains simple and sequential.
2Device complexity
If multiple images are displayed on a single layer in request order, then the display structure is simple, but the management of multiple display requests becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display structure into multiple layers, segmenting the management of display requests. Each layer can independently manage its own set of images, allowing for more efficient processing of multiple display requests without increasing overall structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
By adding the layer dimension, the system transforms the single-layer sequential processing into multi-layer parallel processing. This dimensional expansion enables more efficient management of multiple display requests while keeping each layer's internal structure simple.
3Area of stationary object
If the number of layers is limited, then the device structure is compact, but the ability to display prioritized images is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by enabling priority-based display control within each layer, even though the overall number of layers is limited. Each layer can independently implement priority management for its contained images, maximizing the utility of the limited layer structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent compensates for the limited number of layers by introducing priority-level differentiation within each layer. This creates an additional dimension of control (priority levels) that enhances the system's adaptability without requiring more physical layers.

AI summary
An information processing device includes a layer structure including one or more layers for displaying display information. The information processing device includes a storage unit configured to store, in a predetermined storage area, a priority level included in a request, when the request to display the display information in one of the layers included in the layer structure is received; a determining unit configured to determine whether to display, on the one of the layers, the display information corresponding to the request, based on the priority level stored in the predetermined storage area; and a display unit configured to display the display information on the one of the layers, when the determining unit determines to display, on the one of the layers, the display information corresponding to the request.
