Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile terminals with transparent displays lack methods to provide a more convenient and exciting user interface by utilizing the characteristics of transparent displays, such as multiple display units for varied content conversions, syntheses, and graphic object manipulation.
Innovation Solution
A method and mobile terminal design that control transparency and functionality of multiple display units, allowing for screen conversions, syntheses, and graphic object manipulation through touch inputs, enabling various display configurations and user interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If a transparent display is used to provide upgraded designs, then aesthetic appeal and transparency are improved, but the ability to provide convenient and exciting user interface interactions is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into multiple independent display units (first display unit and second display unit) that can be independently controlled. Each display unit can display different content and can be independently manipulated, enabling diverse UI interactions while maintaining the transparent display aesthetic.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension of interaction by allowing users to touch and manipulate graphic objects on the transparent display. This adds a tactile interaction layer to the visual transparent display, enhancing user interface versatility without compromising the transparent design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display units are used for content conversions and syntheses, then display versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each display unit is designed to be multi-functional, capable of displaying different types of content (first screen, second screen, graphic objects) and responding to various user interactions (touch inputs, gestures). This universal functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, managing complexity while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements screen copying functionality where content from one display unit can be copied or transferred to another display unit. This allows for content conversion and synthesis operations that enhance display versatility without requiring completely separate content generation systems.
3Ease of operation
If transparency control is implemented on display units, then user interaction capability is improved, but control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display units automatically adjust their transparency and content display based on user touch inputs and system state. The controller autonomously manages the transparency control and content distribution across display units, reducing the burden on users while maintaining ease of operation for graphic object manipulation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes display parameters including transparency levels, content position, and display unit activation state based on user interactions. These parameter changes enable flexible graphic object manipulation and UI adaptations without requiring complex manual control mechanisms.

AI summary
Disclosed is a user interface, and particularly, to a method for providing a user interface based on multiple displays and a mobile terminal using the same. The method for providing a user interface of a mobile terminal comprises controlling transparency of a first display unit, controlling the first display unit to display a first screen, controlling a second display unit to display a second screen, and controlling the second display unit to display one or more parts of the first screen.
