Split-Screen Layout for Simultaneous Single-App Element Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems and methods for displaying elements of multiple applications on a display screen are inconvenient and non-user friendly for simultaneously showing elements of a single application in split-screen view.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that split the display screen into sections, associate each section with elements of an application based on user-derived instructions and pre-configured datasets, control display parameters such as pixel density, height, and position, and display elements in split-screen view, allowing for flexible positioning and parameter control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional icon-based user interface is used to display background layer applications, then multiple applications can be displayed, but simultaneous display of multiple elements of a single application in split-screen view is not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple sections, with each section capable of displaying different elements of the same application. This segmentation enables split-screen view where multiple elements (e.g., video feed, controls, information panel) of a single application can be simultaneously displayed in different sections of the screen.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional single-window or icon-based display to a multi-section spatial arrangement. By utilizing the two-dimensional screen space more effectively through vertical and horizontal sectioning, the system enables simultaneous display of multiple application elements that would otherwise require separate windows or screens.
2Quantity of substance
If display screen is divided into multiple regions for multiple applications, then multi-application display is achieved, but single application elements cannot be simultaneously displayed in split-screen view
Solution Approach 1:
Each section of the divided display screen is designed to be versatile and can display any element of the application, not just a specific fixed element. The system allows dynamic allocation of sections to different application elements based on user needs, making the display configuration adaptable rather than rigid.
Solution Approach 2:
The display configuration is made dynamic, allowing users to adjust the number, size, and arrangement of sections in real-time. Users can modify the split-screen layout to suit their specific needs, whether they want two equal sections, three unequal sections, or adjustable proportions, making the system flexible rather than static.
3Ease of operation
If fixed display layout is used, then simple display configuration is maintained, but flexible positioning and parameter control of display elements is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service capabilities by allowing users to directly manipulate and adjust the display layout according to their preferences. Users can drag, resize, and reposition sections and elements without requiring complex configuration menus or external tools, making the system intuitive and user-friendly.
