Description

System and method for displaying transport service information on map layer
Description of the division
The application provides a divisional application for China application with the application date of 2018, 11, 13, the application number of 201880099434.8 and the name of a system and a method for displaying transportation service information on a map layer.
Technical Field
The present application relates to providing transportation services, and more particularly, to a method and system for displaying transportation service information on a map layer.
Background
The network booking platform (e.g., drop TM online) may receive a ride-sharing service request from a passenger and then route the service request to at least one transportation service provider (e.g., taxi driver, private owner, etc.). If no one selects a service request within a predetermined period of time, the service request may be replied to by, or assigned to, the service provider.
The driver and the passenger may each communicate through an application installed on a terminal device, such as a mobile phone. The application program may display various information in a display area on the terminal device. For example, on the passenger terminal, the application may display driver and/or vehicle information, trip costs, navigation maps, and the like. Since the display area on the terminal device is generally limited and the information to be displayed may be rich, the information may often overlap each other. For example, certain travel information may be displayed using elements such as bubbles or symbols. When elements (e.g., two bubbles) overlap, the information displayed therein may be hidden from the user.
In one example, after the driver answers the transportation service request and before the passenger is picked up, the application may display navigation information for the service vehicle to the passenger, including, for example, a navigation route between the current location of the vehicle and the current location of the passenger, overlaid with a navigation map, and text information, such as distance and estimated time of arrival. The text information and the travel information may be displayed as bubbles at the top of the navigation map.
Sometimes, when the service vehicle is scheduled to get off the current passenger and pick up the next passenger, the application may display navigation information related to the two consecutive service requests to the next passenger waiting to pick up. For example, the application may display both a navigation route for the departure location of the current service request and a navigation route for the departure location of the next service request, as well as text information relating to both routes. The information showing two consecutive service requests may move as the vehicle travels and overlap each other. Information lost due to overlap may cause confusion for passengers. Such confusion may prompt the passenger to cancel the service request, thereby frustrating the passenger's and driver's travel plans.
Embodiments of the present application provide methods and systems that address the above-described shortcomings.

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
One aspect of the present application is directed to a system for displaying information related to a transportation service in a display area on a terminal device. For example, a service vehicle, through its driver's use of a transportation service application, may reply to and submit a next transportation service request before completing the current transportation service request. Thus, the system may arrange for information about getting off the passenger for the current service request, and information about pick-up passengers for the next service request.
In some embodiments, the system may be implemented as part of an online taxi service (also known as an online ride share service), in which a driver uses a service vehicle to provide transportation services to passengers. In this case, the terminal device may be a mobile phone, a wearable device, a personal digital assistant, or the like. For use by a driver ("driver terminal") or by a passenger ("passenger terminal"). The system may include a processor and a display coupled to the processor. The processor may be configured to process and arrange the information on the display.
In some embodiments, a certain area on the display screen may be set as a display area. The map information may be arranged to be displayed as various elements within the display area. For example, the processor may be configured to attach various location symbols (e.g., passenger boarding or disembarking locations and current locations of the vehicle) and various display elements (e.g., bubbles with boarding or disembarking information) to the symbols of the display area. In particular, the processor may be configured to determine a first display position of a first display element (e.g., a get-off information display element) attached to a first symbol (e.g., a get-off location symbol), wherein the first display element displays the get-off information of the first transportation service request.
The processor may be further configured to determine a second display position of a second display element (e.g., a get-on information display element) attached to a second symbol (e.g., a service vehicle symbol), wherein the second display element displays get-on information of a second transport service request arranged after the first transport service request. The processor is also configured to determine whether the first display element and the second display element are in the same map layer and at least partially overlap. If so, the processor may adjust at least one of the first display position and the second display position, e.g., to be separated from each other by at least a predetermined distance. In some embodiments, the processor is further configured to adjust the attachment point between the display element and the position symbol. For example, the attachment point may be adjusted based on the relative height between the first and second display elements in the display area. For another example, the attachment point may be adjusted when any portion of the first or second display element is near the boundary of the display area or moves out of the display area. The display may be coupled to the processor and configured to display the first symbol, the second symbol, the first display element, and the second display element on top of the navigation map.
The processor may conceal one of the display elements if the first and second display elements remain overlapping after adjusting the attachment point. In some embodiments, each display element may be assigned a priority based on the information displayed therein. The display element with the lower priority may be hidden.
Although the present application describes embodiments in the context of continuous transport service requests, it is contemplated that the described systems and methods may be applied to arrange any other display information on a terminal device.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary terminal device 100 depicted in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. Terminal device 100 may include any suitable device that may display information to a user, such as a smart phone, tablet, wearable device, computer, etc. In some embodiments, the terminal device 100 may be a driver terminal for use by a transportation service provider. In some other embodiments, the terminal device 100 may be a passenger terminal used by a passenger to request a transportation service. The description of the terminal device 100 will use a passenger terminal as an example, but a person skilled in the art will be able to adapt the described features of the terminal device 100 to a driver terminal.
As shown in fig. 1, terminal device 100 may include a communication interface 104, a processor 106, a memory/storage device 108, and a display 110. Communication interface 104 may include an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) card, cable modem, satellite modem, or a modem to provide a data communication connection. As another example, communication interface 104 may include a Local Area Network (LAN) card to provide a data communication connection with a compatible LAN. The wireless link may also be implemented by the communication interface 104. In such implementations, communication interface 104 may send and receive electrical, electromagnetic or optical signals that carry digital data streams representing various types of information represented via a network. The network may generally include a cellular communication network, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), and the like.
The communication interface 104 may be configured to send a transport service request. The transportation service request may include passenger information, trip origin, trip destination, and the like. The transportation service request may be accepted by or otherwise matched with the service vehicle. The communication interface 104 may be configured to receive driver and vehicle information from the server 140 or directly from a driver terminal (not shown) associated with the service vehicle. The service vehicle may include a taxi or private car registered on a network taxi platform. In some embodiments, the service vehicle may also include an autonomous vehicle. The net reduction platform may maintain a database for storing profiles of registered vehicles and associated drivers. The vehicle information may include, for example, vehicle location, year of the vehicle, manufacturer and model, and other characteristics or properties associated with servicing the vehicle. The driver information may include, for example, the name of the driver, a picture or other identifying information, a driver license number, a driving record, a driver's customer comments.
The communication interface 104 may also receive information related to the current transportation service request, such as that the service vehicle has not completed. For example, the communication interface 104 may receive a departure location of a current transportation service request. After accepting the transportation service request, the communication interface 104 may also receive navigation information, e.g., the current location of the service vehicle, traffic data, map data. In some embodiments, an on-board navigation device on the service vehicle or driver terminal may provide the vehicle location to the communication interface 104 directly or through the server 140. In some embodiments, the communication interface 104 may be configured to receive other data, such as map data, real-time traffic information, weather information, road congestion information, and the like, from the server 140. The update may be received periodically, for example, every zero second, every five seconds, or upon an update request.
The processor 106 may comprise any suitable type of general purpose or special purpose microprocessor, digital signal processor, or microcontroller. The processor 106 may be configured as a separate processor module dedicated to rendering the display of transportation services, maps, and/or navigation information. Or the processor 106 may be configured to share a processor module for performing other functions unrelated to information display. The processor 106 may include one or more hardware units (e.g., a portion of an integrated circuit) designed for use with other components or to execute a portion of a program. The program may be stored on a computer readable medium and when executed by the processor 106 may perform one or more functions.
Memory/storage 108 may include any suitable type of mass storage that provides for storing any type of information that processor 106 may process. Memory/storage 108 may be volatile or nonvolatile, magnetic, semiconductor-based, tape-based, optical, removable, non-removable, or other types of storage or tangible (i.e., non-transitory) computer readable media including, but not limited to, read-only memory, flash memory, dynamic random access memory, and static random access memory. The memory/storage 108 may be configured to store one or more computer programs that are executable by the processor 106 to render a display of transportation services, maps, and/or navigation information. For example, the memory/storage device 108 may be configured to store programs that may be executed by the processor 106 to arrange and update the various elements displayed within the display area.
Memory/storage 108 may be further configured to store information and data for use by processor 106. For example, the memory/storage device 108 may be configured to store various types of data (e.g., transportation service requests, vehicle information, driver information, updated trip information, map data, traffic data, etc.) received by the communication interface 104. The memory/storage 108 may also store intermediate data such as rendered map portions, navigation routes, sizes and shapes of elements displayed in the display area, and the like. The various types of data may be permanently stored, periodically removed, or ignored immediately after each data frame is processed.
The display 110 may include, for example, a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a Light Emitting Diode Display (LEDD), a plasma display, or any other type of display, and provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) presented on the display for user input and data description. The display may comprise many different types of materials, such as plastic or glass, and may be touch sensitive to receive input from a user. For example, the display may comprise a substantially rigid touch sensitive material, such as gorilla glass TM, or a substantially flexible, such as Willow Gla TM.
In some embodiments, the processor 106 may be configured to render various information to be displayed in a display area on the display 110. For example, the processor 106 may determine and render relevant portions of map data into a navigation map for display in a display area. The processor 106 may also render various other elements including, for example, display elements, position symbols, and navigation routes to display within the display area and overlapping (e.g., on top of) the navigation map. As shown in fig. 2, the display area 200 may display a get-off display element 210, a get-on display element 220, a get-on display element 230, a service vehicle symbol 240, a get-on position symbol 250, a trip information portion 260, and one or more navigation routes 270.
In some embodiments, the processor 106 may locate the location symbols on the navigation map corresponding to the physical locations of the location symbols, including the lower location symbol 220, the service vehicle symbol 240, and the upper location symbol 250. For example, the drop-off location symbol 220 may be positioned at a location where a passenger currently requesting transportation service will drop off. The service vehicle symbol 240 may be placed at the current location of the service vehicle. As the vehicle travels along route 270, the service vehicle symbol 240 may move accordingly to represent the current location of the vehicle. Likewise, the boarding pass symbol 250 may be located at a location where the next passenger for the transportation service request is to be picked up, e.g., the current location of the next passenger for the transportation service request.
The display elements include a get off display element 210 and a get on display element 230, which may be in the form of information bubbles, that display information associated with the transportation service request. For example, if the service vehicle is still completing the current request by driving the current passenger to his/her get-off location, the get-off display element 210 may show "complete nearby trip" or a similar message containing trip information for the current service request. The on-board display element 230 may display estimated trip information of the service vehicle before it picks up the passenger of the next service request. For example, in fig. 2, the on-board display element 230 shows an estimated travel distance and/or estimated travel time from a current location of the vehicle to an on-board location indicated by symbol 250.
The processor 106 may render the display elements based on the information they display. In some embodiments, the display element may be of any suitable shape and size to accommodate the amount of information to be displayed. For example, the display element may be square, rectangular with rounded corners, oval, etc. The display element may be referred to as a "bubble". In some embodiments, the display elements may be "attached" to the corresponding position symbols. Consistent with the present application, a display element is "attached" to a symbol when one point of the display element and a point of the symbol share the same coordinates in the display area, such that the display element moves with the symbol or symbol and vice versa. The shared point is referred to as an "attachment point". In some embodiments, the attachment points may be on the top, bottom, left, right, or corners of the symbol or display element.
In some embodiments, the processor 106 may be configured to determine the display position of the display element based on the display position of the corresponding symbol to which the display element is attached and/or the size and shape of the display element. For example, the processor 106 may determine the position of the get-off display element 210 based on the position of the get-off position symbol 220 and the position of the get-on display element 230 based on the position of the service vehicle symbol 240. In some embodiments, processor 160 may calculate a set of coordinates to position the display element. For example, the coordinates of the four corners of the get-off display element 210 may be expressed as (x 1, y 1), (x 2, y 1), (x 1, y 2), and (x 2, y 2).
Based on the location of the display elements, the processor 106 may determine whether the display elements overlap or at least partially overlap each other. When the display elements overlap, at least some of the information displayed therein may be blocked. If an overlap or near overlap is detected and the display elements are in the same map layer, the processor 106 may adjust the position of at least one display element such that they are separated from each other by at least a preset distance. For example, the lower display element 210 and the upper display element 230 may be repositioned such that they are at least five, ten, twenty, etc. pixels apart, for example. The preset distance may be set to any reasonable value based on, for example, the size of the display area 200, the distance between symbols, the size of the display element, etc.
In some embodiments, the processor 106 may determine how the display elements attach to the position symbol in a manner that increases the distance between the display elements. In some embodiments, the display elements may be moved based on the relative heights between the display elements. For example, FIGS. 3A-3D illustrate exemplary attachments of display elements to position symbols according to embodiments of the application. As shown in fig. 3A, the on-board display element 310 is initially attached to the service vehicle symbol 320 at its top side and the off-board display element 330 is also initially attached to the off-board symbol 340 at its top side. If the on-board display element 310 and the off-board display element 330 are located at the same height in the display area (as shown in fig. 3A), the display elements 310 and 330 may overlap each other as the service vehicle symbol 320 moves closer to the off-board position symbol 340. To avoid overlap, the position of the drop-in display element 330 may be adjusted, for example, by flipping the display element 330 to attach to the underside of the drop-in position symbol 340. Thus, the distance between the two display elements increases. In some embodiments, the processor 106 may determine the timing of the adjustment. For example, flipping may occur when the distance between display elements 310 and 330 is within a predetermined threshold. For another example, flipping may occur when at least one pixel of display element 310 overlaps or is about to overlap with at least one pixel of display element 330.
In the example shown in fig. 3B and 3C, again both the get-on display element 310 and the get-off display element 330 are initially attached to the top side of the corresponding position symbol. If the on-coming display element 310 is located below the off-coming display element 330 in the display area (as shown in fig. 3B), the on-coming display element 310 may be flipped over to be attached to the underside of the service vehicle symbol 320. If the get on display element 310 is located above the get off display element 330 in the display area (as shown in FIG. 3C), the get off display element 330 may be flipped over to attach to the underside of the get off position symbol 340. In fig. 3D, the on-board display element 310 is initially attached to the underside of the service vehicle symbol 320 and the off-board display element 330 is initially attached to the topside of the off-board position symbol 340. Because the get-on display element 310 is located above the get-off display element 330 in the display area (as shown in fig. 3D), the get-off display element 330 may be flipped over to attach to the underside of the get-off position symbol 340. Alternatively or additionally, the on-board display element 310 may be flipped over to be attached to the top side of the service vehicle symbol 320. In each of these examples, the distance between the two display elements increases.
In some embodiments, the processor 106 may hide one of the display elements if the display elements (e.g., the get-off display element 210 and the get-on display element 230) remain overlapping after the attachment point is adjusted. In some embodiments, each display element may be assigned a priority based on the information displayed therein. For example, the lower display element 210 may be assigned priority a and the upper display element 230 may be assigned priority B. The display element with the lower priority may be hidden. For example, if a > B, the get-on display element 230 may be hidden. Otherwise, if a < B, the get-off display element 210 may be hidden.
In some embodiments, if a portion of the display element moves beyond or near the boundary of the display area, the processor 106 may further adjust how the display element is attached to the corresponding position symbol. For example, the processor 106 may move the attachment point between the display element and the position symbol, as shown in fig. 4A and 4B. As shown in fig. 4A, the display element 410 may be initially attached to the position symbol 420 by an attachment point 401 on the top side of the position symbol 420. If the processor 106 determines that a portion of the display element 410 is outside the top edge of the display area 200 or is moved near the top edge (not shown) of the display area 200, the processor 106 may move the attachment point 401 to the attachment point 402 located on the bottom side of the position symbol 420. In some embodiments, the processor 106 may determine that the display element is near the boundary of the display area 200 when the distance between the display element and the boundary of the display area 200 is within a predetermined threshold. In fig. 4B, the display element 410 may initially be attached to the position symbol 420 by an attachment point 403 to the right of the position symbol 420. If the processor 106 determines that a portion of the display element 410 is outside the right edge of the display area 200 or is moved near the right edge (not shown) of the display area 200, the processor 106 may move the attachment point 403 to the attachment point 404 located to the left of the position symbol 420. By moving the attachment point the display element will move completely into the display area 200.
In some embodiments, the processor 106 may alternatively or additionally adjust the size and/or shape of the display element 410 when a portion of the display element 410 is outside the edge of the display area 200 or moves near the edge of the display area 200. For example, the processor 106 may scale the display element 410 down to "shrink" it within the display area 200. For another example, the processor 106 may change the rectangular display element 410 to a circular or oval shape so that it is within the display area 200.
Returning to fig. 2, the trip information portion 260 may display passenger or driver information, such as name, customer comments, and the like. The trip information portion 260 may also display vehicle information such as license plates, models, and colors so that passengers can easily recognize it when arriving. The trip information portion 260 may also provide a summary of the status, such as that the driver is completing a ride nearby and will take the passenger on the way immediately. The itinerary information section 260 may provide the user with interactive buttons to initiate various actions, such as calling/texting the driver, cancelling the itinerary, sharing the itinerary with family or friends, asking for help, etc.
Consistent with the application, processor 106 may dynamically adjust the maps and elements in display area 200 based on, for example, the received updates. In some embodiments, updates including, for example, the current location of the service vehicle and any changes in the get-on or get-off locations of successive service requests may be received by the terminal 100 periodically, e.g., every 3 seconds, every 5 seconds, or every 10 seconds. Based on the updated information, the processor 106 may update and refresh the display area 200. For example, the processor 106 may reposition the service vehicle symbol 240 in the display area 200 and its additional on-board display element 230. As the service vehicle symbol 240 and the on-board display element 230 in the display area 200 move around the display area 200, the processor 106 may adjust the attachment therebetween as described above to avoid overlapping other display elements or to move outside the display area 200. In some embodiments, the adjustment may be depicted in a "bounce" effect, where two display elements that are close to each other will bounce against each other to avoid overlapping.
Fig. 5 illustrates a flowchart of an exemplary method 500 for displaying information associated with a continuous transport service request in a display area, according to an embodiment of the application. The method 500 may be implemented by the terminal device 100. Method 500 may include steps 502-520 as described below. It should be understood that some steps may be optional to perform the application provided herein. Further, some steps may be performed simultaneously or in a different order than shown in fig. 5.
In step 502, the terminal device 100 may receive information about a continuous service request and a current location of a service vehicle. The terminal device 100 may receive such information through its communication interface 104. In some embodiments, the request information may be received from the server 140 or a driver terminal associated with the service vehicle. Similarly, the current location of the service vehicle may be received directly from the driver's terminal or through the server 140. The continuous service request may include a current transport service request that the service vehicle is completing and a new transport service request that is scheduled after the service vehicle completes the current service request. Information related to the continuous service request includes, but is not limited to, a get-off location of the current transportation service request, a current location of the service vehicle, a get-on location of the next transportation service request, traffic data, map data, and the like.
In step 504, the terminal device 100 may locate the drop down vehicle symbol and the service vehicle symbol on the navigation map. In some embodiments, the terminal device 100 may additionally locate the upper car position symbol. The received map data may be used to render a navigation map. For example, the processor 106 may locate location symbols on the navigation map corresponding to their physical locations, including a lower location symbol 220, a service vehicle symbol 240, and an upper location symbol 250. The drop-off location symbol 220 may be located at a location where the passenger currently requesting transportation service will drop off. The service vehicle symbol 240 may be placed at the current location of the service vehicle. As the vehicle travels along the route 270, the processor 106 may adjust the position of the service vehicle symbol 240 accordingly to indicate the current position of the vehicle. Likewise, the boarding pass symbol 250 may be located at the location where the passenger of the next transportation service request will board, such as the passenger's current location.
At step 506, the terminal device 100 may determine the position of the get-off display element attached to the get-off position symbol. In some embodiments, the off-board display element 210 may be in the form of an information bubble that displays information related to the current transportation service request. For example, the get-off display element 210 may show "complete a nearby trip" or similar message containing trip information for servicing the current service request that the vehicle is completing. In some embodiments, the processor 106 may render the off-board display element based on information that it displays in an appropriate shape and size. The drop-off display element may be attached to the drop-off sign by attachment points located at the top bottom, left, right or corners of the sign or display element.
In some embodiments, the processor 106 may be configured to determine the display position of the drop-in display element based on the position of the drop-in sign and the size and shape of the drop-in display element. For example, the processor 106 may determine the position of the get-off display element 210 based on the position of the get-off position symbol 220. In some embodiments, processor 160 may calculate a set of coordinates to locate the get-off display element.
In step 508, the terminal device 100 may adjust the point of attachment between at least one of the display elements and its attached corresponding position symbol. In some embodiments, the processor 106 may adjust how the display elements attach to the position symbols in a manner that increases the distance between the display elements. In some embodiments, the display elements may be moved based on the relative heights between the display elements. For example, if the get-on display element 310 is located at the same height or above (as shown in fig. 3C-3D) as the get-off display element 330 in the display area (as shown in fig. 3A), the get-off display element 330 may be moved to be attached to the underside of the get-off position symbol 340. If the get-on display element 310 is located below the get-off display element 330 in the display area (as shown in FIG. 3B), the get-on display element 310 may be moved to attach to the underside of the service vehicle symbol 320. In each of these examples, the distance between the two display elements increases.
In step 512, the terminal device 100 may determine whether the display elements overlap or at least partially overlap each other. When the display elements overlap (step 512: yes), the method 500 proceeds to step 514, where the processor 106 may adjust the position of at least one of the display elements such that they are moved away from each other by at least one preset distance. For example, the lower display element 210 and the upper display element 230 may be repositioned such that they are at least five, ten, twenty or more pixels apart. The preset distance may be set to any reasonable value based on, for example, the size of the display area 200, the distance between symbols, and the like. If no overlap is detected (step 512: no), the method 500 may skip step 514 and proceed to step 516.
In some embodiments, the processor 106 may use the extended dimensions of the display elements to determine whether the two display elements overlap. For example, the processor 106 may extend the boundaries of the display elements by a predetermined number of pixels and use the enlarged display elements in an overlap determination process. In this way, when two display elements are moved closer to each other, they can bounce against each other, but do not actually overlap each other. The number of pixels used to enlarge the display elements may be any reasonable value, e.g. based on the size of the display elements, the required "safe distance" between the two display elements, etc.
Optionally, after step 514, the method 500 may return to step 512 and determine whether the display elements still overlap each other. If the display elements (e.g., the get off display element 210 and the get on display element 230) remain overlapping after the attachment points are adjusted, the processor 106 may hide one of the display elements. In some embodiments, each display element may be assigned a priority based on the information displayed therein. The display element with the lower priority may be hidden.
In step 516, the terminal device 100 may determine whether the display element is outside the display area or near the boundary of the display area. If a portion of the display element is detected outside the display area (step 516: yes), the method 500 may proceed to step 518, where the processor 106 may move the display element within the display area. For example, the processor 106 may move the attachment point between the display element and the position symbol, as shown in fig. 4A and 4B. In fig. 4A, after determining that a portion of display element 410 is outside the top edge of display area 200, processor 106 may move attachment point 401 to attachment point 402 located on the bottom side of the location of symbol 420. In fig. 4B, after determining that a portion of the display element 410 is outside the right edge of the display area 200, the processor 106 may move the attachment point 403 to the attachment point 404 that is to the left of the location of the symbol 420. By moving the attachment point the display element will move completely into the display area 200.
Similar to step 512, at step 516, process 106 may use the enlarged or expanded display element to determine whether a portion of the display element is outside of display area 200. In this way, the attachment point of the display element can be adjusted when the display element moves close to the boundary of the display area 200, but not outside the display area 200.
In some embodiments, the processor 106 may alternatively or additionally adjust the size and/or shape of the display element at step 518, a portion of which is outside the edge of the display area 200 or moves near the edge of the display area 200. For example, the processor 106 may scale the display element 410 down to "shrink" it within the display area 200. For another example, the processor 106 may change the rectangular display element 410 to a circular or oval shape so that it is within the display area 200.
If no portion of the display element is detected outside of the display area (step 516: no), the method 500 may proceed to step 520 to display the position symbol and the display element on top of the navigation map.
Method 500 may return to step 502 to receive the updated data and perform steps 502-520 to update the display content and display location of the various elements, including the location symbols and display elements. In some embodiments, the data may be received periodically, for example, every zero second, every five seconds, or upon an update request. For example, as the service vehicle travels along the predetermined route 270, its current location continues to change. Accordingly, the terminal device 100 may perform step 504 to update the location of the service vehicle symbol on the navigation map accordingly. The position of the on-board display element attached to the service vehicle symbol is also updated at step 508. As the position of the on-coming display element changes, its relative position with respect to the off-coming display element will also change. Accordingly, the terminal device 100 may perform steps 510-518 to adjust the position of the display element.
