TV Screen Segmentation for Remote Control Web Shopping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Web shopping using a television receiver can be cumbersome due to difficulties in specifying and enlarging areas of interest on the screen using a remote control, requiring multiple operations which can be troublesome for users.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus that divides the screen into multiple areas, assigns numeric buttons to each area, allowing users to easily enlarge or reduce the displayed content by pressing corresponding numeric buttons on the remote control, thereby simplifying the operation process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a remote control is used to specify and enlarge areas on a television screen, then web shopping functionality is provided, but the operation becomes troublesome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is divided into multiple predetermined areas, and each area is assigned to a specific numeric button on the remote control. This segmentation allows users to directly access specific regions of the catalog by pressing corresponding numeric buttons, eliminating the need for complex multi-step operations to navigate and enlarge areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The screen is pre-divided into multiple areas before the user needs to interact with them. This preliminary segmentation and assignment of numeric buttons to areas enables users to immediately access and enlarge any region of interest with a single button press, without requiring subsequent navigation steps.
2Measurement precision
If multiple operations are required to enlarge specific areas, then precise control is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the screen into distinct predetermined areas and assigning each to a numeric button, the system enables precise area specification through direct button pressing. Users can accurately select and enlarge specific regions without requiring multiple sequential operations, thus reducing operation time while maintaining precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The numeric buttons on the remote control directly correspond to screen areas, allowing the system to automatically identify and enlarge the desired area when a button is pressed. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for users to perform complex navigation sequences, reducing operation time while preserving precise area selection.
3Area of stationary object
If traditional remote control navigation is used, then screen coverage is complete, but operational simplicity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The entire screen is segmented into multiple predetermined areas, ensuring complete coverage while assigning each area to a specific numeric button. This segmentation allows users to access any part of the screen simply by pressing the corresponding numeric button, maintaining full screen coverage while dramatically simplifying operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The numeric buttons on the remote control serve multiple functions: they identify specific screen areas for enlargement and also provide direct navigation to those areas. This multi-functionality allows complete screen coverage to be accessed through a simple universal interface, eliminating the need for complex navigation while maintaining comprehensive area access.

AI summary
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a data receiver, processing circuitry and an operation information receiver. The data receiver receives first data for displaying an image. The processing circuitry displays, using the first data, the image on a screen of a display. The operation information receiver receives operation information indicating that one of a plurality of buttons provided at a remote control is pressed. The processing circuitry displays, based on the operation information, an enlarged image of a first area of a plurality of divided areas of the image on the screen.
