In-Vehicle Content Display Adaptation for External Device Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In-vehicle electronic devices currently have limited capabilities in displaying content from external devices, such as smartphones, restricting the types of information that can be obtained and displayed, which hampers user experience for drivers and passengers.
Innovation Solution
A content display method and apparatus for in-vehicle electronic devices that obtain and render content data associated with application programs running on external devices, including text, audio, images, and videos, based on the display capabilities of the in-vehicle device, enabling richer content visualization and improved user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If in-vehicle electronic devices use traditional display methods, then device complexity is reduced, but the quantity and variety of displayable content is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a content provider module as an intermediary between external electronic devices and display units. This mediator obtains content data from external devices, processes it according to display capabilities, and delivers it to appropriate display units, enabling rich content display without requiring direct complex integration between all devices and displays
Solution Approach 2:
The content provider module serves multiple functions: obtaining content from various external devices, adapting content to different display capabilities, routing content to appropriate display units, and supporting multiple content types (text, audio, images, videos). This multi-functional approach increases content variety while managing system complexity through a single versatile component
2Adaptability or versatility
If in-vehicle electronic devices obtain content from multiple external devices, then adaptability of display content is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The content provider module adapts content by changing parameters such as display capability matching (resolution, format, size) based on the target display unit's characteristics. This allows the same content source to be displayed appropriately across different display units without requiring separate processing paths for each device
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different processing and adaptation rules to content based on the specific display unit's characteristics. Each display unit receives content optimized for its local capabilities (resolution, size, type), allowing high adaptability while using standardized processing approaches for each display's specific requirements
3Ease of operation
If in-vehicle electronic devices implement comprehensive content rendering, then user experience is improved, but loss of information increases due to compatibility issues
Solution Approach 1:
The content provider module creates adapted copies of content data from external devices, transforming it into formats suitable for in-vehicle display units. This copying process preserves the essential information while adapting the presentation format, avoiding information loss that would occur with direct display of external device content
Data Source
AI summary
A content display method, an apparatus, a device, a readable storage medium, and a vehicle are provided. The method is for an in-vehicle electronic device associated with an external electronic device. The method includes: obtaining content to be rendered, the content to be rendered including content data that is for display on the external electronic device and associated with an application program running on the external electronic device; rendering the content to be rendered based on a display capability of a display unit of the in-vehicle electronic device; and displaying the rendered content on the display unit.
