Vehicle Display Resizing for Driving-Context Input Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
As the size of the center information display (CID) in vehicles increases, it disperses the driver's gaze and attention, potentially leading to safety issues and difficulties in accurate input during driving due to the increased user interface size and movement required for inputs.
Innovation Solution
A control method that adjusts the size of the exposed region of the display and user interface based on driving information, allowing for a more focused driving experience by dynamically changing the display and input means according to the driving context.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the size of the center information display (CID) is increased to provide more various pieces of information, then the information provision capability is improved, but the driver's gaze becomes dispersed and safety problems occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display size adjustable rather than fixed. The CID can dynamically change its exposed region size based on driving conditions, being larger when the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly, and smaller when moving at high speed, thus adapting to different operational contexts to balance information provision and safety
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical parameter of display size (exposed region area) to resolve the contradiction. By controlling the display mechanism to adjust the exposed region size, the system can provide more information when larger display area is needed while maintaining safety by reducing display size when it would distract the driver
2Adaptability or versatility
If the size of the CID is increased to provide more functions, then the functionality is improved, but the user's movement for input increases making accurate input difficult during driving
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the interface layout dynamic by adjusting the number and arrangement of icons based on display size. When the exposed region is small during driving, fewer icons are displayed and their size is adjusted, reducing the movement required for input and improving input accuracy while maintaining access to various functions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the interface parameters (number of icons, icon size, layout arrangement) according to the display size. This allows the system to maintain high functionality by providing access to all functions while adapting the interface to be easier to operate when the display area is constrained during driving

AI summary
According to an embodiment disclosed in this specification, an electronic device may be configured to control a size of an exposed region of a first display based on driving information of a vehicle and to set a user interface for receiving a user input associated with content displayed on the first display to at least one of the first display or an auxiliary input interface based on a size of an exposed region. Other various embodiments as understood from the specification are also possible.
