Rotatable Display Control by Source-Based Orientation Presets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing rotatable display apparatuses require frequent user input for rotating the display, which can be cumbersome, as they do not automatically adjust the display mode based on the source providing the image.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a processor that controls a rotatable display to automatically set and adjust between horizontal and vertical modes based on user input and information from connected sources, including external apparatuses and applications, storing display mode settings and recommending optimal display orientations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If the display is rotated directly when a user command is input, then the display responds quickly to user input, but the user must frequently input commands to rotate the display, which is troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-sets display modes for different sources (e.g., horizontal mode for gaming consoles, vertical mode for smartphones) and automatically applies them when a source is selected, eliminating the need for users to manually rotate the display each time
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus automatically detects the connected source and self-adjusts the display orientation based on pre-configured settings for that source, without requiring continuous user intervention
2Reliability
If the display rotates every time a user command is input, then the display follows user commands precisely, but the frequent rotation becomes troublesome and reduces ease of operation
Solution Approach 1:
Display modes for various sources are pre-configured in advance, so when a source is connected or selected, the appropriate mode is automatically applied without requiring the user to repeatedly issue rotation commands
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides visual feedback through UI elements (icons, indicators) showing the current display mode and allowing users to select or modify settings, making the automation transparent and controllable

AI summary
A control method of an electronic apparatus is provided. The control method includes: displaying, on a display of the electronic apparatus, a first user interface (UI) for setting a display mode, from among a horizontal mode and a vertical mode, for each of one or more sources providing images to the electronic apparatus; storing information on a display mode corresponding to a first source, based on receiving, through the first UI, a first user input for setting the display mode corresponding to the first source of the one or more sources; and controlling at least one of the display or a motor of the electronic apparatus so that the display is operated in one of the horizontal mode or the vertical mode according to the stored information on the display mode corresponding to the first source, based on receiving a second user input for providing an image through the first source.
