Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices face challenges in adjusting the position of video chat windows to avoid blocking the focus or keyword information during video chats, especially when users need to interact with video content or live events, leading to a compromised user experience.

Innovation Solution

The display device includes a controller that monitors the position of the video chat window and the focus or keyword information, and upon receiving an input, adjusts the window's position to ensure it does not obstruct the focus or keyword information, moving it to a target position where it no longer interferes with the user's view.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the video chat window is displayed on the display device during video chat, then the user can communicate with peers, but the video chat window may block the focus or keyword information on the playing image

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo chat functionalityVSAvoidfocus or keyword information blocking
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The video chat window position is dynamically adjusted based on real-time detection of focus movement and keyword information locations. The system continuously monitors where the user is looking and where important information appears, then automatically repositions the window to avoid blocking these critical areas, allowing the window to move from static to adaptive positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop that detects focus position and keyword information location, compares this information with the current window position, and adjusts the window position accordingly. This closed-loop control ensures the window never blocks important elements by continuously responding to changes in focus and content layout.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If the video chat window position is fixed, then the display device complexity is reduced, but the user experience deteriorates when the window blocks focus or keyword information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewindow position controlVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-adjustment of the video chat window position without requiring user intervention. It automatically detects when the window is about to block focus or keyword information and repositions itself proactively, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust the window while maintaining good user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The window position parameters (x, y coordinates and possibly size) are automatically changed based on detected focus position and keyword information location. The system modifies these parameters in real-time to optimize the display layout, ensuring important information remains visible while maintaining the video chat functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If the video chat window automatically adjusts position to avoid blocking focus or keyword information, then the user experience is improved, but the device complexity increases due to position monitoring and adjustment mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidposition monitoring and adjustment system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The position monitoring and adjustment mechanism serves multiple functions: it prevents blocking of focus elements, avoids blocking of keyword information, and maintains optimal window visibility. By consolidating these functions into a single adaptive positioning system, the patent reduces overall complexity compared to having separate mechanisms for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The disclosure provides a display device, and a method for adjusting a position of a video chat window. The method includes: when a video chat window is floating on a playing image for display, acquiring the position of the video chat window and a position of the focus when an instruction for moving a focus is received; determining, according to the position of the video chat window and the position of the focus, whether the video chat window blocks the focus; and in response to the video chat window blocking the focus, moving the video chat window from a current position to a first target position.
