In-Vehicle Application Window Queue for Adaptive Display Layouts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing in-vehicle display screens have fixed display zones that cannot satisfy user customization demands, limiting the flexibility and efficiency of application window arrangements.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for adjusting application window layouts in a vehicle display interface using a window queue that dynamically updates with user operations, allowing continuous adjacent arrangement of application windows with serial numbers increasing opposite to the starting point direction, ensuring overlap and efficient display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If fixed display zones are used in in-vehicle display screens, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic window arrangement where application windows can be freely moved, resized, and repositioned by users. The display zones transition from fixed to dynamic states, allowing windows to be dragged to different positions and adjusted to various sizes according to user needs, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The display screen is segmented into multiple independent application windows that can be individually controlled. Each window represents a separate display unit that can be independently positioned and sized, allowing flexible composition of the overall display layout without increasing system complexity.
2Loss of information
If multiple application windows are displayed simultaneously, then information display completeness is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to complex window arrangement
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides preset display modes (such as half-screen, quarter-screen, and equal-size window arrangements) that users can directly select. These preliminary arrangements eliminate the need for manual positioning and sizing of multiple windows, making it easy to display multiple applications simultaneously while maintaining operational simplicity.
3Productivity
If application windows are arranged adjacently in transverse direction, then display efficiency is improved, but adaptability to different screen sizes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic adaptation of window parameters (size, position, number of windows) based on the detected screen dimensions. When the screen size changes, the system dynamically adjusts the display layout parameters to maintain optimal display efficiency while adapting to different screen specifications, resolving the contradiction between fixed efficient arrangement and screen size adaptability.

AI summary
A method, performed by an in-vehicle terminal, including: receiving an application window editing operation for a current display interface; and adjusting an application window layout of the current display interface according to the application window editing operation and a window queue. The window queue is configured for continuous adjacent arrangement of n application windows in the current display interface, and a status of the window queue is dynamically updated with change of the application window layout, serial numbers of application windows in the window queue sequentially increase in a direction opposite to a starting point direction. At least part of a zone of the window queue overlaps a display interface of an in-vehicle terminal, so as to ensure that the application windows in the window queue are displayed in the current display interface.
