INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240212092 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an information processing device that can display a map in two different arrangements on a screen. The device can switch between these arrangements based on user operations and adjust the map scale accordingly.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Information processing device capable of displaying maps in different arrangements on a screen.
- Control unit for switching between display arrangements based on user operations.
- Ability to change the scale of the map based on user input.
- Automatic scale adjustment when switching between display arrangements.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in navigation systems, location-based services, and geographic information systems.
Problems Solved: The technology solves the problem of efficiently displaying maps in different arrangements while maintaining the map scale based on user preferences.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user experience in viewing maps.
- Improved usability of navigation and location-based applications.
- Efficient display of geographic information.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include GPS devices, mobile mapping applications, and online mapping services. This technology could also be integrated into smart devices for various location-based services.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to map display technologies, user interface design for navigation systems, and scale adjustment in map applications.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be conducting studies on user interaction with map displays, optimization of map scale adjustments, and advancements in geographic information systems technology.
Questions about Map Display Technology: 1. How does this technology improve user experience in navigating maps? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different devices and platforms?
Original Abstract Submitted
an information processing device capable of displaying a map by any one of a first display arrangement and a second display arrangement in which a display area on a screen of a display device is different. a control unit for executing switching between the first display arrangement and the second display arrangement based on a first operation performed by a user, and changing a scale of the map being displayed based on a second operation performed by the user, wherein the control unit changes a scale in a case where the map is displayed in the first display arrangement when the second operation is performed while the map is being displayed in the first display arrangement, and does not change a scale in a case where the map is displayed in the second display arrangement.
