Smart Boot Display Control for User-Selected Startup Interfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing display apparatuses have a fixed boot process that is not user-customizable, leading to poor user experience as they default to a launcher homepage or previous interface without considering user preferences.
Innovation Solution
Implement a smart boot mode that allows users to select and store preferences via a setting menu, enabling the display to present user-defined interfaces based on attribute values stored in a database.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed boot process is implemented, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to user preferences deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing user boot preferences in advance during a setting phase. When the display apparatus is powered on, it retrieves these pre-stored preferences from memory to automatically configure the boot interface, eliminating the need for complex real-time decision-making while maintaining user customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The display apparatus serves itself by automatically selecting and presenting the appropriate boot interface based on stored user preferences without requiring user intervention during startup. The system reads the attribute value from the database and autonomously determines whether to display the launcher homepage or a specific application interface.
2Ease of operation
If a smart boot mode with user preferences is implemented, then the user experience is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The complex preference management functionality is extracted into a separate database module. The boot process simply reads an attribute value from this externalized storage without needing to contain the complexity of preference management internally, thus improving ease of operation while isolating device complexity to a manageable component.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple boot interface options are provided, then the adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback from previously stored user selections to automatically determine the appropriate boot interface. During the setting phase, user preferences are captured and stored; during boot, the system reads this feedback and automatically configures the interface, eliminating the need for users to manually choose among multiple options at startup.

AI summary
Disclosed is a display apparatus and method. The method includes: in response to a boot command for starting the display apparatus from a user, entering a preset application in the display apparatus, where a user interface of the preset application is a black screen; in response to the smart boot mode being in the on state, reading an attribute value stored in a database of the display apparatus; if the attribute value is a first preset value, controlling the display to present a startup homepage, and exiting from the preset application; and if the attribute value is a second preset value, reading an input ID, controlling the display to present an interface of a physical source corresponding to the input ID, and exiting from the preset application.
