Sliding Background Display Mode Switching for TV Broadcast
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices struggle to adaptively switch between viewing and listening modes to suit user preferences, with limitations in flexible display positioning and icon placement, leading to suboptimal user experiences.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a slidable background that allows for two modes: mini-TV home mode, where the TV broadcast video is fixed, and mini-TV free mode, where it can be moved and positioned as desired, enabling users to easily switch between focusing on TV or using other applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display unit is divided into fixed regions (conference application display region and material sharing display region), then the display structure is simplified and easy to implement, but the user cannot display content in arbitrary positions as intended
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display regions that can be freely positioned and resized by users, replacing fixed static regions. The display unit allows arbitrary placement of conference application display region and material sharing display region, enabling users to adjust positions and sizes according to their needs, thus resolving the contradiction between operational flexibility and system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the icon display position is automatically corrected to avoid overlapping with TV broadcast video, then the visual clarity is improved, but the icon is not displayed in the user-intended position
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic icon positioning where icons can be placed at user-intended positions without automatic correction. The system allows icons to overlap with TV broadcast video if the user intends so, removing the automatic position correction mechanism that previously prevented user-intended placements.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of automatically correcting icon positions to avoid overlap (traditional approach), the patent inverts the logic by allowing overlap when the user intends it, giving priority to user intent over automatic avoidance mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display device supports multiple viewing-and-listening modes, then the adaptability to user preferences is improved, but the switching complexity between modes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic mode switching that automatically adapts to user needs. The display device can switch between different viewing-and-listening modes (such as TV priority mode and application priority mode) based on user interactions and context, reducing the perceived complexity of mode switching while maintaining high adaptability.

AI summary
Easy switching to a display mode that corresponds to a viewing-and-listening style that is desired by a user is enabled. A display device (1) displays one or plural objects on a slidable background and performs switching between a first mode in which display of a target object among the one or plural objects is stopped in a case where the background is slid and a second mode in which the target object is displayed while being fixed to a display region regardless of whether or not the background is slid.
