DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240231598 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The abstract of the patent application describes a display device that can determine whether an application supports touch input and perform functions based on this determination.
- User input interface receives touch input
- Display outputs screen provided by application
- Controller determines application support for touch input
- Controller determines support for mouse input function when touch input is not supported
- Controller performs function corresponding to touch input based on mouse input function support
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various touchscreen devices such as smartphones, tablets, and interactive kiosks. - It can enhance user experience by seamlessly switching between touch and mouse input functions based on application support.
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need for manual switching between touch and mouse input modes. - Ensures a smooth user experience by automatically adapting to the application's input requirements.
Benefits: - Improved user interface experience - Increased efficiency in interacting with applications - Seamless transition between touch and mouse input modes
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be integrated into consumer electronics, educational devices, and industrial control systems to enhance user interaction and productivity.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the controller determine whether an application supports touch input? - The controller likely analyzes the application's code or metadata to determine its compatibility with touch input.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of relying on automatic switching between touch and mouse input functions? - One potential drawback could be compatibility issues with certain applications that may not be accurately detected by the controller.
Original Abstract Submitted
a display device comprises a user input interface configured to receive touch input, a display configured to output a screen provided by an application, and a controller configured to determine whether the application supports touch input, to determine whether a mouse input function is supported, when the application does not support touch input and to perform a function corresponding to the touch input based on whether the mouse input function is supported.
