US 2024/0262201 A1 · METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING INFORMATION DISPLAYS INSIDE AUTOMOBILE CLUSTER DISPLAYS

Abstract

A computing device may implement a method for optimizing data display placement within display units. The method includes obtaining dimensions of an available display area within a display unit, and determining an irregular shape representative of the available display area based on the dimensions. The method further includes generating a second shape that is representative of a data display, wherein the second shape is smaller than the irregular shape, and translating the second shape within the irregular shape until the second shape is at a location within the irregular shape. All edges of the second shape are contained within the irregular shape at the location. The method further includes rendering the data display at the location within the available display area.

Dependent claims

A method in a computing device for optimizing data display placement within display units, the method comprising:

obtaining, by one or more processors of the computing device, dimensions of an available display area within a display unit;
determining, by the one or more processors, an irregular shape representative of the available display area based on the dimensions;
generating, by the one or more processors, a second shape that is representative of a data display, wherein the second shape is smaller than the irregular shape;
translating, by the one or more processors, the second shape within the irregular shape until the second shape is at a location within the irregular shape, wherein all edges of the second shape are contained within the irregular shape at the location;
and
rendering, by the one or more processors, the data display at the location within the available display area.

3 more elements

A computing device for optimizing data display placement within display units, the computing device comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a computer-readable memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
obtain dimensions of an available display area within a display unit,
determine an irregular shape representative of the available display area based on the dimensions,
generate a second shape that is representative of a data display,
translate the second shape within the irregular shape until the second shape is at a location within the irregular shape, wherein all edges of the second shape are contained within the irregular shape at the location, and
render the data display at the location within the available display area.
