Vehicle Display Layout for Intuitive Side-Aligned Option Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing vehicle information display systems face difficulties in intuitively presenting selection options, as the display position of selection options and the operation switch do not correspond, leading to confusion for vehicle occupants.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle information display system is designed with an operation section positioned on one side relative to the driver seat, allowing intuitive selection of selection options displayed on the same side, while a central display region shows vicinity information, and a non-selectable image region is positioned on the opposite side to prevent misoperation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the operation section is provided at one side relative to the driver seat and the selection option display region is positioned at the same side, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases due to asymmetric layout configuration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetry by positioning the operation section at one side relative to the driver seat and placing the selection option display region at the corresponding side of the display section. This asymmetric layout creates a direct spatial correspondence between the operation input and its associated display output, improving ease of operation by reducing the cognitive and physical effort required to locate and select options.
2Ease of operation
If the selection option display region is positioned at one side relative to the vicinity information display region, then the ease of operation is improved through intuitive spatial correspondence, but the loss of information increases as the central display area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the display section into distinct functional regions: a vicinity information display region and a selection option display region positioned at one side. This segmentation allows the system to present different types of information in organized, purpose-specific areas, improving operational intuitiveness while maintaining comprehensive information display through structured spatial arrangement.
