Touch Display Region Division and Dynamic Image Sizing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display control systems for touch panel devices lack efficient methods for dynamically adjusting the size and layout of displayed images in response to user interactions, such as specifying positions and gestures, which limits user experience and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A display control apparatus with two controllers that divides the display region into multiple sections, allowing for enlargement or reduction of image sizes based on user-specified positions and gestures, enabling dynamic adjustment of image sizes and layout in real-time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display region is divided into multiple divided regions to display images of determined attributes, then images can be organized by attributes, but the flexibility to adjust image size and layout in response to user interactions is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of image size and layout by detecting user operations (pinch gestures, pan gestures) and real-time modifying the display parameters. The display control apparatus transitions from a static divided-region layout to a dynamic layout that responds to user interactions, allowing images to be enlarged, reduced, or repositioned based on detected gestures while maintaining the attribute-based organization structure.
2Ease of operation
If current display control systems use fixed layout methods, then the system is simple to control, but user experience and functionality are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring user operations on the touch panel and automatically adjusting the display layout in response. The system detects pinch gestures to determine enlargement or reduction, detects pan gestures to determine repositioning, and immediately applies these changes to the displayed images. This closed-loop feedback system enhances user experience by making the display responsive to user intent while maintaining operational simplicity through intuitive gesture-based control.

AI summary
A display control apparatus includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller performs control to divide a display region of a display into divided regions arranged in a predetermined direction and to display images of determined attributes in the divided regions. The display includes a specifying unit that specifies a position in the display region and an operation on an image displayed in the display region. The second controller performs, in response to detection of specification of a predetermined operation on the displayed image subsequent to specification of a position in at least one divided region or in at least one boundary region between divided regions, enlargement control of enlarging or size reduction control of reducing the size of a target region (the divided region or a divided region adjacent to the boundary region) and an image displayed in the target region.
