Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a demand for a dual display system in vehicles that can dynamically change its layout according to the preferences of the occupant, allowing for customizable display options.
Innovation Solution
A dual display system comprising a center touch-panel display and a driver display, where windows on the center display can be moved to the driver display through flick operations, and a blank window can be inserted into the driver display by performing specific finger gestures, allowing for customizable layout adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If windows are made movable between center display and driver display, then adaptability to user preference is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional control mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical control mechanisms with touch-based gesture operations. Users can move windows between displays and insert blank windows through simple flick gestures with different finger counts, eliminating the need for physical buttons, switches, or complex menu navigation systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically manages window layouts based on user gestures without requiring complex intermediate processing. The display controller directly responds to flick gestures by moving windows or inserting blank windows, providing intuitive self-service operation that reduces control mechanism complexity.
2Ease of operation
If multiple finger gestures are used to control window operations, then ease of operation is improved, but difficulty of detecting and measuring increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control interface into distinct gesture types based on finger count (one-finger flick, two-finger flick, three-finger flick). Each gesture type corresponds to a specific operation (move window, insert blank window), making detection and measurement straightforward through touch sensor arrays that can easily distinguish between different numbers of contact points.

AI summary
[Problem to be Solved] To provide a dual display for a vehicle, capable of changing a display in accordance with a preference of an occupant of a vehicle. [Solution] A dual display 1 for a vehicle includes: a center display CD of a touch-panel type including n window display regions; and a driver display DD that is provided at an interval from the center display in a left-right direction. The driver display DD includes m window display regions and an instrument display region. Windows displayed in the window display regions of the center display are each movable to the driver display through a flick operation on the center display with x fingers. The number of windows in the center display is n and the number of windows in the driver display is m throughout the flick operation.
