Terminal Image Overlay for Cross-Display Environment Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies fail to account for environmental differences between terminal apparatuses, leading to inconveniences in image input/output processes.
Innovation Solution
A terminal apparatus with a communication interface and controller that adjusts for environmental differences by superimposing and displaying images from different drawing areas, allowing for image exchange and adjustment of display magnification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If images are exchanged between terminal apparatuses with different display environments, then image exchange functionality is achieved, but display consistency and user convenience deteriorate due to environmental differences
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes display parameters (magnification, position) of images based on the specific terminal apparatus's display environment. The controller adjusts the second image's magnification and position to match the first terminal's display characteristics, ensuring consistent visual experience across different devices while maintaining image exchange functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If images are displayed with different magnifications on different terminal apparatuses, then adaptability to various display environments is improved, but image consistency and precision deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different magnification adjustments to different images based on their source terminal's display characteristics. The first image retains its original magnification suitable for the first terminal, while the second image is locally adjusted to match the first terminal's environment, maintaining both adaptability and consistency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a scaled copy of the second image that replicates its appearance on the second terminal's display environment, then displays this copied version on the first terminal. This copying approach preserves the original image's visual characteristics while adapting it to the different display environment.
3Ease of operation
If the display environment of each terminal apparatus is considered in image exchange, then user convenience is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each terminal apparatus autonomously determines its own display environment characteristics and automatically adjusts the displayed images accordingly. The controller at each terminal performs the necessary magnification and position adjustments without requiring complex centralized coordination, reducing overall system complexity while improving user convenience.

AI summary
A terminal apparatus includes a communication interface, and a controller configured to communicate using the communication interface, and the controller is configured to receive information to display toward a user a first image drawn in a first drawing area by another user who uses another terminal apparatus, from the another terminal apparatus, and transmit information to superimpose on and display in the first drawing area a second image drawn in a second drawing area by the user, to the another terminal apparatus, the second drawing area being superimposed on the first image displayed.
