INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18422693 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus with a display, memory, and processor that can switch between different display modes and adjust display magnification accordingly.

  • The apparatus includes a display, memory, and processor.
  • The processor can switch between a first display mode using the entire screen area and a second display mode using only a part of the screen area.
  • Display magnification is adjusted based on the selected display mode.
  • The processor controls the display data stored in memory and displayed on the screen.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers to provide users with different display options based on their preferences.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for flexible display options that can adapt to different user preferences and requirements.

Benefits: Users can customize their display experience by choosing between different display modes and magnifications, enhancing usability and convenience.

Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable for manufacturers of electronic devices looking to offer innovative display features to attract customers in a competitive market.

Prior Art: Prior research in display technologies and user interface design may provide insights into similar approaches to display mode switching and magnification adjustment.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers in human-computer interaction and display technologies may be conducting studies on user preferences for display customization and its impact on user experience.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve user experience compared to traditional display modes? 2. What potential challenges could arise in implementing this technology on a large scale?


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus includes a display, a memory that temporarily stores display data to be displayed on the display, and a processor that performs control when the display data stored in the memory is displayed on the display. The processor performs a display mode switching process of switching between a first display mode in which display is controlled by using an entire screen area of the display as a display area, and a second display mode in which display is controlled by using a part of the screen area as the display area, and a display control process of, in a case in which the first display mode and the second display mode are switched by the display mode switching process, changing a display magnification to a display magnification individually set for each of the first display mode and the second display mode.
