Terminal Screen Splitting for Multitasking and Mirroring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current terminals face difficulties in efficiently managing multitasking, particularly in adjusting and positioning multiple application windows on a single screen, leading to inconvenient full-screen switching and challenges with screen mirroring, especially when dealing with devices of varying resolutions.
Innovation Solution
A terminal with a control unit that allows for easy screen control, including the ability to split the screen into areas for multitasking, displaying multiple programs and external inputs, and adjusting resolutions to accommodate different tasks, enabling seamless interaction and data transmission between devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If full-screen switching is used to perform tasks, then task switching is achieved, but multitasking convenience deteriorates and operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is divided into multiple regions simultaneously, with each region displaying a different application or content. This allows users to view and interact with multiple applications at the same time without full-screen switching, thereby improving multitasking convenience while reducing operational complexity.
2Loss of information
If screen mirroring is used to display external device screens, then screen sharing is achieved, but intuitive screen switching and data transmission deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal screen is segmented to display both the local application and the mirrored external device screen simultaneously in different regions. This allows users to access information from both screens without switching, improving information accessibility while maintaining intuitive operation through direct interaction with the local application interface.
3Productivity
If multiple contents are displayed simultaneously on one screen, then multitasking capability is improved, but identification of individual screens deteriorates due to resolution differences
Solution Approach 1:
Different resolution settings are applied to different regions of the screen based on the specific requirements of each application or content type. Each region maintains its optimal resolution for the displayed content, ensuring clear identification and readability while enabling simultaneous display of multiple contents with different resolution requirements.

AI summary
A terminal including a display; and a controller configured to display an execution screen of a first program on a full screen of the display, split the full screen into a first area and a second area in response to a screen split request if the execution screen of the first program is displayed on the display, and display the execution screen on the first area and a multitasking screen on the second area including at least one of a second program and an external input for connection to the terminal.
