Resizable Display Control for Application-Specific Screen Sizing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display technologies lack the ability to automatically resize to optimize the viewable area based on the application being used, leading to inefficient use of screen space and user effort in adjusting display sizes.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a processor, memory, and a resizable display that determines the appropriate display size for an application and adjusts the display accordingly, using a display size controller to manage mechanical adjustments and optimize the viewable area based on application-specific requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display size is manually adjusted by the user, then the viewable area can be optimized for specific applications, but this increases user effort and operation complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the application being used and adjusts the display size without requiring user input. The processor monitors application states and autonomously controls the mechanical display adjustment mechanism to optimize viewable area based on application-specific requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where the processor continuously monitors which application is active and adjusts the display size accordingly. The system receives feedback about application usage and automatically modifies display parameters to optimize the viewing experience for each application type.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display size is fixed, then the device structure is simpler, but the viewable area cannot be optimized for different applications
Solution Approach 1:
The display transitions from a static fixed size to a dynamic adjustable size. The mechanical mechanism allows the display to physically change its dimensions based on the application being used, enabling optimal viewable area for different use cases while maintaining a relatively simple overall device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system serves multiple functions by automatically adapting its size for different applications. A single mechanical adjustment mechanism handles various application types, making the display universally optimized across diverse use cases without requiring separate dedicated displays for each function.
3Area of stationary object
If the display is always at maximum size, then the viewable area is maximized, but portability and compactness are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display dynamically adjusts its size based on actual usage requirements rather than remaining constantly at maximum size. When portability is needed, the display retracts to a smaller form factor, and when maximum viewable area is required for specific applications, it extends to provide optimal viewing space.

AI summary
Systems and techniques are described herein for automatically physically resizing a resizable display. For instance, a process can include determining an application is being started, determining a display size for a resizable display based on the application being started, and resizing the resizable display based on the determined display size.
