Transparent Display Dynamic Opacity Control for Wearable Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The development of electronic devices with transparent displays has outpaced the creation of intuitive user interfaces for effectively interacting with these devices and other electronic devices, particularly due to their light transmission characteristics.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a transparent display and a processor that determines the overlap location with external devices, executing functions and outputting screens through the transparent area based on this information, enabling intuitive interaction and improved usability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a transparent display is used to allow light transmission, then visibility and aesthetic appeal are improved, but user interface interaction becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The display dynamically changes its transparency state based on operational context. The processor controls the transparent display to switch between transparent and opaque states, enabling the display to adapt its light transmission properties according to the required interaction mode, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining light transmission and enabling user interface interaction.
2Illumination intensity
If the display remains transparent to maintain aesthetic appeal, then light transmission is improved, but interaction with external devices becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The display dynamically adjusts its transparency based on detected external devices and operational context. When external devices are detected or interaction is required, the display becomes opaque to facilitate proper interaction; when aesthetic appeal is prioritized, it returns to transparent state. This dynamic adaptation enables the display to maintain both light transmission capabilities and device interaction versatility.

AI summary
An electronic device includes a display including a transparent area through which content is output and through which external light passes and a processor electrically connected to the display. The processor is configured to obtain information about an overlap location of an external device and the electronic device, to execute a function mapped to the information about the overlap location, and to output a screen associated with the function on the transparent area.
