Multi-Display Screen Arrangement Using Shared Input Device Position
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when manually configuring display order for screens displayed on wirelessly connected electronic devices, especially when the location of the external device is changed, leading to a need for manual reconfiguration.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device uses an input device to obtain location information, identify the relative location of a second electronic device, and automatically configure the display arrangement based on this information, ensuring seamless display continuity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual configuration of display order is used, then display arrangement can be controlled, but user convenience deteriorates when device location changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic display arrangement by having each electronic device report its location information to the server, which then automatically determines and configures the display order based on relative positions, eliminating the need for manual user intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously receives location information from multiple electronic devices and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust and reconfigure display arrangements automatically when device positions change
2Ease of operation
If automatic display configuration based on location is implemented, then user convenience improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A server acts as an intermediary between multiple electronic devices, receiving location information from each device and calculating the optimal display arrangement, thereby distributing system complexity to a centralized service rather than requiring complex peer-to-peer coordination
3Stability of the object's composition
If display arrangement is fixed, then configuration stability is maintained, but adaptability to location changes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display arrangement transitions from a static fixed configuration to a dynamic adaptive configuration that automatically adjusts based on real-time location information, allowing the system to maintain stability through continuous optimization rather than rigid fixedness
