Electronic Apparatus Representative Information Display During Scrolling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in recognizing content during quick scrolling on electronic devices, as existing technologies do not provide adequate means to identify the content being scrolled and lack additional services beyond the scrolling function.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus and control method that displays representative information of content when scrolling, including detecting gestures, extracting and displaying representative information, and stopping the scroll, to enable users to recognize the content instantly and provide additional services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If the scroll is performed quickly, then the scrolling speed is improved, but the user's ability to recognize the content being scrolled deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
A representative information display unit is introduced as an intermediary element that shows key information about the content being scrolled. This mediator allows users to quickly understand the content without needing to closely examine the rapidly moving main content, thus enabling fast scrolling while maintaining content recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
The display is segmented into multiple regions: the main content area that scrolls rapidly and a separate representative information area that displays extracted key information. This segmentation allows different parts of the display to serve different functions - the main content provides comprehensive information while the representative information provides quick overview, resolving the contradiction between speed and recognition.
2Device complexity
If only the scrolling function is provided, then the device complexity is reduced, but the service functionality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs multiple functions using the same basic infrastructure: it scrolls content, extracts representative information, displays the representative information, and provides user interactions. This multi-functionality approach allows the system to offer enhanced services without proportionally increasing device complexity, as all these functions share common components like the display unit and controller.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically extracts and displays representative information without requiring user intervention. The controller autonomously identifies key information from the content and presents it in the representative information display unit, providing additional services while maintaining simple operation for the user.

AI summary
A method of controlling an electronic apparatus that displays representative information is provided. The method includes displaying the content on a display unit, detecting a gesture for scrolling the content, scrolling the content upon the gesture being detected, extracting representative information of the content, displaying the representative information of the content, and stopping the scrolling of the content.
