Rotating TV Display Control for Vertical Media Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Smart televisions face issues in displaying media resources with mismatched aspect ratios, leading to wasted screen space and poor user experience due to the inability to automatically adapt the screen orientation to vertical media resources like short videos and comics.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a rotating component and controller that detects the current screen orientation and adjusts it to match the aspect ratio of the media resource being played, synchronously rotating and scaling the image to maintain an upright display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the smart television displays vertical media resources in landscape mode, then the device can maintain a fixed screen orientation, but the display space is wasted and user experience deteriorates due to aspect ratio mismatch
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by enabling the screen to rotate between landscape and portrait modes based on the aspect ratio of the media resource being played. The rotating component allows the screen orientation to change dynamically, transforming a static display system into an adaptive one that can optimize display space utilization for different content types.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the smart television uses a fixed landscape screen orientation, then the device structure remains simple, but it cannot adapt to vertical media resources resulting in poor user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by introducing a rotating component that enables the screen to switch between landscape and portrait orientations. This dynamic capability allows the television to adapt to different media resource aspect ratios (vertical, horizontal, square) while maintaining a relatively simple structural addition through the rotating mechanism.
3Area of stationary object
If the screen rotates to match vertical media resources, then display space utilization improves, but the device complexity increases due to the rotating component
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction by implementing a dynamic rotating mechanism that allows the screen to adapt its orientation based on content requirements. The rotating component, while adding some complexity, enables full utilization of the display area for vertical media resources by switching to portrait mode, thereby justifying the added complexity through significant improvement in display space utilization.

AI summary
The disclosure provides a display device and a display image rotation adapting method. A rotating component may be controlled to rotate a screen into a portrait mode if a video media resource is a vertical media resource and the screen is in a landscape mode; or, the rotating component may be controlled to rotate the screen into a landscape mode if the video media resource is a horizontal media resource and the screen is in a portrait mode, so as to adapt to an aspect ratio corresponding to the video media resource.
