Unified Home Screen Configuration for Multi-Display Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Setting up home screens on multiple displays in electronic devices is inconvenient as it requires entering separate setting control modes for each display, leading to increased input requirements and user inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a database storing information for multiple home screens allows setting up home screens through one display by acquiring and providing the necessary information for both screens in a unified setting control mode, enabling settings for both screens to be managed through a single interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate setting control modes are provided for each display, then each display can be configured independently, but the operation becomes inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate setting control modes into a single unified setting control mode that can configure multiple displays simultaneously. The controller provides a unified interface where users can set home screens for the first display, second display, and additional displays through one common setting mode, eliminating the need to enter each display's setting mode separately.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified setting control mode is designed to serve multiple displays with different applications (first application, second application, and additional applications) through a single interface. This universal setting mode can adapt to configure home screens for various display types and applications without requiring separate specialized setting modes for each display.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple displays are configured through separate interfaces, then each display's settings can be customized, but the time and input required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple display configuration tasks into a single unified setting operation. Users can configure home screens for multiple displays with different applications through one common setting interface, significantly reducing the time and input required compared to configuring each display separately through individual setting modes.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified setting control mode allows users to pre-configure all display settings in one session before actual use. By providing a comprehensive setting interface that covers all displays simultaneously, users can complete all configuration tasks in advance without needing to return to individual setting modes later for adjustments.

AI summary
Disclosed is an electronic device for setting up home screens of a first display and a second display including a database in which information on a first home screen displayed on the first display and information on a second home screen displayed on the second display are stored, and a controller that receives an input to enter a setting control mode for controlling settings of the home screens, acquires the information on the first home screen and the second home screen from the database in response to the input being received, and provides, through the first display, the information on the first home screen and the information on the second home screen in the setting control mode, wherein the first home screen is displayed on the first display by a first application and the second home screen is displayed on the first display by a second application.
