Vehicle Display Layout With Content Duplication Across Screen Gaps
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle display systems face challenges in displaying large amounts of information seamlessly across multiple displays due to structural non-display areas, leading to potential driver distraction and reduced visibility of characters or symbols.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle display system that sets a duplicated area on adjacent display screens to ensure continuity of image content, particularly for characters and symbols, by adjusting the duplication width based on the content's width to maintain visibility and reduce incongruity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple display devices are arranged side by side to show large amount of information, then information capacity is improved, but continuous image representation deteriorates due to non-display areas between screens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by duplicating the content displayed on one screen onto the adjacent screen in the non-display area. This creates a mirrored or repeated representation of the same information across screen boundaries, ensuring that characters and symbols remain continuous and readable even when the physical display devices are separated by non-display areas.
2Area of stationary object
If display screens are placed adjacent to each other, then display area is increased, but character or symbol completeness deteriorates when content is split across non-display area
Solution Approach 1:
The system copies the content from one display screen to the adjacent screen's non-display area, ensuring that characters and symbols are fully represented on at least one complete screen. This prevents the splitting of textual content across physical screen boundaries, maintaining character integrity while utilizing multiple display devices.
3Adaptability or versatility
If non-display area exists between display devices, then device arrangement flexibility is improved, but information clarity deteriorates due to potential content splitting
Solution Approach 1:
By copying content across the non-display area boundary, the system maintains information clarity despite the physical separation between display devices. The duplication ensures that important information such as characters and symbols remains visible and complete on at least one screen, preventing information loss while preserving the flexible arrangement of multiple display devices.

AI summary
A setting unit is configured to, when the image content is to be displayed across the display screens of the plurality of display devices with the non-display area therebetween, set a display area including a duplicated area in which the image content is partially duplicated and to be displayed on the display screens of the plurality of display devices. A determination unit is configured to determine whether the image content includes a specific content represented by character/symbol information or image-recognized character/symbol information. A duplicated display processing unit is configured to, on determination of the determination unit that the image content includes the specific content, set a duplication width of the duplicated area based on a width of the specific content and display the image content of the duplicated area on the display screens of the plurality of display devices.
