Projector Control Interface Screen Switching Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for controlling multiple projectors require users to manually switch between independent setting screens for each projector, leading to complex and time-consuming operations, resulting in poor user-friendliness.
Innovation Solution
A control device and method that allows seamless switching between management screens for multiple projectors by selecting and displaying corresponding items on the second management screen based on the predetermined item selected on the first management screen, enabling swift management and reducing the need for repeated screen selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If independent setting screens are used for each projector, then each projector can be controlled separately, but the operation becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple independent setting screens into a single integrated management screen that displays and controls multiple projectors simultaneously. This merging eliminates the need to switch between separate screens for each projector, thereby reducing operational complexity and time consumption while maintaining the ability to control each projector independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The management screen is designed with multi-functionality to handle various projector control tasks in a unified interface. It provides universal controls that can manage different projectors with different settings through a single screen, reducing the need for multiple specialized screens and improving operational efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users switch between setting screens for each projector, then each projector can be configured, but the operation is complicated and takes time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple projector control interfaces are merged into a single management screen that provides unified access to all projector settings. This consolidation maintains the adaptability to control each projector individually while eliminating the complexity of switching between multiple independent screens.
Solution Approach 2:
The management screen is segmented into distinct sections or tabs for each projector, allowing users to access individual projector settings when needed while viewing an overview of all projectors simultaneously. This segmentation maintains control versatility while reducing operational complexity through organized presentation.

AI summary
An information processing device which controls one projector and another projector includes: a display unit which displays a first operation screen for managing the one projector and a second operation screen for managing the another projector; an input unit which accepts an operation on the first operation screen and the second operation screen; and a control unit which controls the one projector and the another projector, based on the operation accepted by the input unit. When the information processing device is switched from a first state where the first operation screen is operable to a second state where the second operation screen is operable, the control unit causes the second operation screen where an item corresponding to a predetermined item selected on the first operation screen in the first state is selected, to be displayed in the second state.
