Screen Management for Master-Slave Display Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack an efficient method to display and manage multiple screens of an application, particularly in a way that allows for seamless interaction and sharing between a master screen and its subordinate screens, and between devices.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device employs a screen management program that identifies and displays a master screen and its slave screens, allowing for expansion of the display region, adjustment of screen sizes, and sharing of these screens with other devices, using a touch screen and communication system to facilitate user input and display graphics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple screens are displayed in a single display region, then screen management complexity increases, but display efficiency and user accessibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display system into separate display regions, with each screen (master screen and slave screens) allocated to its own distinct display region. This segmentation allows each screen to be independently accessible and managed, resolving the contradiction by maintaining high screen quantity while improving user accessibility through spatial separation.
2Area of stationary object
If display region is expanded to accommodate multiple screens, then screen visibility improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic screen management where the system automatically identifies, categorizes, and arranges screens as master or slave screens based on real-time application states. This dynamic approach allows the display region to expand efficiently to accommodate multiple screens while the automated management system handles the complexity, preventing device complexity from becoming a bottleneck.
3Adaptability or versatility
If master screen and slave screens are managed separately, then screen functionality improves, but information management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the screen management program continuously monitors application states, screen content changes, and user interactions. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts the master-slave screen relationships, ensuring optimal functionality while the automated feedback loop manages the information complexity, preventing manual management burdens.
