Rotating Display Segmentation for Multi-Service Viewing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display apparatuses with a rectangular shape, where width is longer than height, face issues in maintaining aspect ratio and vividness when displaying multiple images, requiring users to hide or change screens for additional services, leading to a disrupted viewing experience.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a rotator and controller that rotates the display by 90 degrees to create multiple vertical screens, allowing continuous display of images without distortion, enabling various services like real-time analysis, social network information, and recipe information to be shown alongside the primary image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a rectangular display apparatus displays multiple images by dividing the screen, then various services can be provided, but the aspect ratio of images is distorted and vividness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple regions (first screen region and second screen region) to simultaneously display different images or services. This segmentation allows the main image to occupy a larger portion while still providing space for additional services, thereby maintaining image quality while enabling multi-functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a dimension parameter to determine the area ratio between the first and second screen regions. By adjusting this dimension parameter, the system can dynamically change the display layout to optimize both image quality and service provision, resolving the contradiction between maintaining aspect ratio and providing multiple services.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users hide or change the screen to access additional services, then various functions can be performed, but the current image viewing is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into multiple regions where the first screen region displays the main image continuously while the second screen region displays additional services. This allows users to access various functions without hiding or changing the main image, maintaining viewing continuity while enabling multi-service access.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus is designed to simultaneously perform multiple functions by displaying different content in different regions. The main image viewing function and additional service functions coexist without interfering with each other, allowing users to access various services while continuously viewing the primary content.
3Loss of information
If the display screen is divided to show multiple images, then various information can be displayed, but the primary image quality and vividness are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into a first screen region for the primary image and a second screen region for additional information. The first region occupies a larger area to maintain primary image quality and vividness, while the second region provides space for displaying various related information without significantly compromising the main content.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the display are allocated different quality requirements. The first screen region maintaining high image quality for the primary content, while the second screen region can display text or smaller images with lower quality requirements, thereby optimizing overall information display while preserving primary image integrity.
