Wearable Display Region Resizing for Information Verbosity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable terminal devices face challenges in displaying multiple functions clearly and efficiently, as the limited display space makes it difficult to distinguish and display detailed information for various functions simultaneously, especially when multiple memory scales are present under hands.
Innovation Solution
A wearable terminal device with a display section and processing section that divides the display image into multiple regions, allowing for dynamic resizing of these regions based on user input, enabling different information verbosity levels to be displayed in each region, thereby allowing users to easily distinguish and view desired information in detail.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple memory scales are displayed on the display surface, then multiple functions can be shown, but it becomes hard to distinguish which memory scale a value corresponds to and reduces ease of reading
Solution Approach 1:
The display surface is divided into multiple display regions, with each region dedicated to displaying information for a specific function or memory scale. This segmentation allows users to clearly distinguish which value corresponds to which function by spatial separation, while still displaying multiple functions simultaneously on the same display surface.
2Loss of information
If multiple kinds of information are simultaneously displayed on the display section, then comprehensive information is provided, but the display space allocated to each kind of information is limited and detailed display becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The display regions are configured to be dynamically adjustable in size. When a user selects a particular function or memory scale, the corresponding display region expands to provide more space for detailed information display, while other regions adjust accordingly. This dynamic resizing allows comprehensive information display while providing sufficient detail for the selected function.
3Loss of information
If details of information concerning functions not in use are displayed, then complete information is shown, but it is inefficient in terms of display screen utilization
Solution Approach 1:
Different display regions are assigned different information verbosities based on local needs. The region corresponding to the currently selected or most relevant function displays detailed information, while regions for other functions display simplified or summary information. This local quality differentiation ensures that detailed information is provided where needed while maintaining efficient display screen utilization.

AI summary
A wearable terminal device includes a display section configured to display a display image and a processing section. The processing section performs processing for displaying any one kind of information among information of a first information type to information of an N-th information type in respective display regions of first to M-th display regions obtained by dividing the display image, when the display image is switched from a first display image to a second display image, changes the size of at least an i-th display region among the first to M-th display regions, in the first display image, performs processing for displaying information of a j-th information type in the i-th display region at a first information verbosity, and, in the second display image, performs processing for displaying the information of the j-th information type in the i-th display region, the size of which is changed, at a second information verbosity different from the first information verbosity.
