Screen Region Segmentation for Multi-Item Aspect Ratio Preservation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display methods on electronic devices often ignore the actual resolutions of multiple execution screens when dividing the screen, leading to suboptimal display and overlapping issues where the upper layer covers the lower layer.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor that determines the aspect ratio of each item and divides the full screen into regions matching these ratios, allowing simultaneous display of items while maintaining their original proportions.

1Productivity
If the screen is divided to display multiple execution screens, then multiple items can be displayed simultaneously, but the actual resolutions and aspect ratios of the items are ignored leading to suboptimal display quality
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is divided into multiple regions, with each region's size and shape specifically configured to match the aspect ratio requirements of individual items. This segmentation allows multiple items with different aspect ratios to be displayed simultaneously while maintaining their original proportions and optimal display quality.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the screen are allocated with different sizes and characteristics based on the specific aspect ratio requirements of each item. This local quality approach ensures that each item receives the appropriate display space tailored to its resolution and aspect ratio, rather than applying a uniform division method.
2Productivity
If overlapping layers are used to display multiple execution screens, then multiple items can be displayed, but the upper layer covers the lower layer reducing visibility
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using overlapping layers where visibility is compromised, the screen is segmented into distinct non-overlapping regions. Each item is assigned to a specific region, ensuring full visibility of all displayed items simultaneously without any layer covering another.
3Area of stationary object
If uniform screen division is used to display multiple items, then screen space is utilized, but the actual aspect ratios of items are not maintained leading to distorted display
Solution Approach 1:
Each region on the screen is configured with local quality characteristics that match the specific aspect ratio requirements of the item to be displayed in that region. This allows the screen space to be effectively utilized while maintaining the correct shape and proportions of each item, avoiding distortion.
Solution Approach 2:
The dimensions and aspect ratios of screen regions are dynamically adjusted based on the parameters of the items to be displayed. This parameter change approach ensures that each item is displayed in a region with matching aspect ratio, preserving the original shape while utilizing screen space efficiently.

AI summary
Methods and an electronic device are provided for displaying one or more items. An aspect ratio of each of the items is determined. A full screen is divided into regions. Each of the regions has an aspect ratio that is the same as that of a respective one of the items. The items are simultaneously displayed in the regions.
