Wearable Display Area Expansion via Wireless Content Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Watch-type display terminals have limited display area due to being worn on the wrist, restricting the ability to display large information such as maps or websites in their entirety, leading to poor usability.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a first and second display terminal connected via wireless communication, where the first terminal acquires and sends information about its display content to the second terminal, allowing the second terminal to control its display unit to show relevant information related to the content, effectively expanding the display area by sharing and enhancing the information displayed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If a watch-type display terminal is worn on the wrist, then the device is portable and wearable, but the display area is limited and cannot display large information in its entirety
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two display terminals (first and second terminals) into a collaborative system where the watch-type terminal and another display device work together. The watch terminal sends display content information to the second terminal, which then displays relevant information, effectively merging their display capabilities to overcome the limited display area of the wearable device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a communication system as an intermediary between the two display terminals. The first terminal communicates display content information through this intermediary to the second terminal, which then uses this information to display relevant content, allowing the limited wearable display to access expanded display capabilities.
2Area of stationary object
If the display area is enlarged to show more information, then the display capability is improved, but the device size and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display function across two separate terminals. The watch-type first terminal handles portable wearability and sends display content information, while the second terminal handles the expanded display area. This segmentation allows each device to be optimized for its specific function without requiring one device to do everything.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal system where the two terminals can work together for various types of content (maps, websites, images, etc.). The system is designed to handle multiple functions and content types through the collaborative display approach, making the solution adaptable to different information display needs without increasing individual device complexity.

AI summary
The present invention provides a display system including a first display terminal and a second display terminal. The first display terminal includes a first display unit, an acquiring unit configured to acquire information indicating display content which are being displayed by the first display unit, and a sending unit configured to send the information indicating the display content acquired by the acquiring unit to the second display terminal which is communicatably connected to the first display terminal. The second display terminal includes a second display unit, a receiving unit configured to receive the information indicating the display content which is sent from the first display terminal, and a control unit configured to control the second display unit to display relevant information which is related to the display content of the first display unit based on the information indicating the display content received by the receiving unit.
