Transmissive Display Notification Control for Cutting-Off
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In transmissive display units, cutting-off occurs when display objects are not fully contained within the display region, leading to discomfort for users due to partial display and potential misinterpretation of information.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that includes a notification control unit to detect and notify users of cutting-off by displaying an auxiliary UI, such as a frame or performing alpha fading on the display object, to help recognize the occurrence of cutting-off and reduce user discomfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If display objects are displayed in transmissive display units, then information can be presented to users, but cutting-off occurs when display objects are not fully contained within the display region, causing user discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection to determine whether cutting-off occurs before displaying the display object. Based on this detection, the system selects appropriate display control methods (such as adding auxiliary UI elements or adjusting display parameters) to prevent user discomfort caused by incomplete display, thereby ensuring information completeness while avoiding harmful effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces auxiliary UI elements as intermediaries between the display object and the user. These auxiliary elements indicate the presence and extent of cut-off portions, allowing users to understand that the display object extends beyond the visible display region, thus preventing misinterpretation while maintaining information completeness.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the whole display object is displayed without cutting-off, then user comfort is maintained, but the display region size is limited and cannot accommodate larger objects
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from a two-dimensional display plane to a three-dimensional spatial representation by adding auxiliary UI elements that indicate the extent of cut-off portions. This dimensional enhancement allows users to perceive the complete display object even when parts extend beyond the physical display boundaries, effectively increasing the usable display area without requiring larger physical displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates auxiliary representations (copies) of the display object's cut-off portions through UI elements. These copies provide information about the hidden parts of the display object, allowing users to mentally reconstruct the complete object without requiring the entire object to be physically displayed within the limited display region.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If display control is implemented to prevent cutting-off, then user discomfort is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically detecting cutting-off conditions and selecting appropriate display control methods without requiring manual intervention. The display control unit autonomously determines whether auxiliary UI elements are needed and adjusts display parameters accordingly, reducing user discomfort while maintaining manageable device complexity through automated decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The system manages complexity by changing display parameters (such as transparency, size, or position of auxiliary UI elements) based on detected cutting-off conditions rather than implementing complex structural modifications. This parameter-based approach allows flexible adaptation to different display scenarios while keeping the overall device architecture relatively simple.

AI summary
[Object] To provide an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program. [Solution] An information processing device including: a notification control unit configured to cause a user to be notified of occurrence of cutting-off in a display region of a transmissive display unit on a basis of detection of the occurrence of the cutting-off in which a whole of a display object in which at least a partial region is displayed is not contained in the display region.
