DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING FUNCTION OF USER SELECTED MENU ITEM ON A USER INTERFACE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18240472 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING FUNCTION OF USER SELECTED MENU ITEM ON A USER INTERFACE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DISPLAY APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The display apparatus described in the patent application includes a display, a single physical button, and a processor. The processor is configured to control the display and display a user interface (UI), a selection UI, and multiple menu items based on user input received via the single physical button. The user input can be identified as a short click input or a long press input.

  • The display apparatus has a display, a single physical button, and a processor.
  • The processor controls the display to show a guide UI, a selection UI, and multiple menu items.
  • User input received via the single physical button is used to control the display.
  • A short click input is used to move the selection UI between menu items.
  • A long press input is used to select a menu item and execute a corresponding control function.
  • The display can also show a setting UI indicating the current setting value of the control function.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Smartphones and tablets: This display apparatus can be used in smartphones and tablets to provide a simplified and efficient user interface for navigating menus and executing control functions.
  • Smartwatches and wearable devices: The single physical button and intuitive user interface can be beneficial for small wearable devices with limited screen space.
  • Automotive infotainment systems: The display apparatus can enhance the user experience in car infotainment systems by providing a user-friendly interface for selecting and executing various functions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Complex user interfaces: The display apparatus simplifies the user interface by using a single physical button and intuitive gestures, making it easier for users to navigate menus and access functions.
  • Efficient menu navigation: The selection UI allows users to quickly move between menu items, reducing the time and effort required to find and select specific options.
  • Accidental selections: The use of short click and long press inputs helps prevent accidental selections by requiring deliberate actions from the user.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience: The simplified and intuitive user interface enhances the overall user experience by making it easier and more efficient to navigate menus and access functions.
  • Time-saving: The efficient menu navigation and quick access to control functions save users time, especially when dealing with complex menus or frequently used functions.
  • Reduced user errors: The deliberate actions required for selecting menu items and executing control functions help minimize accidental selections and user errors.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display apparatus includes a display, a single physical button and a processor configured to control the display to display a guide user interface (UI), a selection UI and a plurality of menu items, based on a user input received via the single physical button being identified as a short click input, move the selection UI from one menu item among the plurality of menu items to another menu item among the plurality of menu items, based on the user input being identified as a long press input, select the one menu item and execute a control function corresponding to the selected one menu item, and based on an execution of the control function, control the display to display a setting UI indicating a current setting value of the control function.
