Touch Operator Relocation for Vehicle Display Reachability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing devices struggle with improving the operability of touch operations on objects displayed in screen regions far from the user, particularly in large-screen display devices installed in vehicles.
Innovation Solution
The device includes an operator display control unit that displays operators close to the edges of the screen and an object display control unit that moves objects corresponding to touched operators closer to the user when a touch operation is performed, thereby improving reachability and usability.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the screen is sized to cover almost the entire dashboard, then the display area is maximized, but the operability of touch operations on objects displayed in regions away from the user deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display content movable rather than static. When a user touches an operator icon, the corresponding object dynamically relocates to a position closer to the user's hand, transforming the fixed display layout into an adaptive, interactive system that responds to user actions in real-time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces operator icons as intermediary elements between the user and the display objects. These icons serve as mediators that represent objects and can be touched independently, triggering the object's movement to a more accessible position without requiring the user to directly interact with the object itself

AI summary
An information processing device, including: an operator display control unit for respectively displaying, close to a first end of a screen and a second end of the screen opposite the first end, a plurality of a first operator corresponding to each of a plurality of objects displayed on the screen; and an object display control unit for moving a first of the objects corresponding to the first operators on which a first touch operation is performed closer to the first end when the first touch operation is performed on the first operator close to the first end, and moving the first object closer to the second end when the first touch operation is performed on the first operator close to the second end.
