Secondary Display Approval Control for Image Output Timing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display control systems fail to appropriately manage the timing of image display on secondary displays, leading to unintentional and inappropriate display of images.
Innovation Solution
A display control device that includes a first-operation detector, a first-selection acceptor, and a controller to manage the display of target images on secondary displays based on user input and selection, allowing for controlled approval or disapproval of image output, and setting options to prevent unintended display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automatic display output is enabled without user confirmation, then display speed and productivity are improved, but reliability and appropriateness of display timing deteriorate due to unintentional display
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by detecting the display operation in advance and presenting a selection screen to the user before the actual display occurs. This allows the user to confirm or cancel the display operation, ensuring appropriate timing while maintaining efficient workflow.
2Reliability
If user confirmation is required for display output, then reliability of display timing is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation worsen due to additional selection steps
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies self-service by utilizing the second display device's existing interface capabilities to present the selection screen and accept user input. This leverages the display device's inherent functionality rather than adding separate confirmation hardware, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining reliability.
3Ease of operation
If user confirmation interface is provided on the second display device, then ease of operation is improved by confirming display on the target device, but device complexity increases due to inter-device communication requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies universality by using the second display device for multiple functions: both displaying the target image content and presenting the selection confirmation interface. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate confirmation hardware, reducing system integration complexity while improving ease of operation.

AI summary
A display control device includes: a first-operation detector that detects a first operation to output and display a target image on a second display device different from a first display device, the target image being an image displayed on the first display device among a plurality of display devices each of which is configured to display an image; an approval selection acceptor that, when the first operation is detected, accepts, via the second display device, a first selection as to whether to approve or disapprove outputting and displaying the target image on the second display device; and a controller that outputs the target image to the second display device to cause the second display device to display the target image when approval for outputting and displaying the target image on the second display device is selected.
