Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power monitoring technology, and in particular to a method and system for guiding the interface functions of a power monitoring system. Background Technology

[0002] Improving the user experience of power monitoring system interfaces is crucial for achieving efficient and accurate real-time monitoring and management of power systems. In the current technological context, with the increasing complexity of power systems, monitoring systems are required not only to provide comprehensive real-time data but also to present this data in an intuitive and easy-to-understand manner to support rapid decision-making and effective management. Therefore, developing highly user-friendly interfaces has become key to improving the overall performance and user satisfaction of monitoring systems.

[0003] Existing power monitoring systems often focus on functionality, such as data acquisition, processing, and alarms, but neglect user interface design. This results in complex and difficult-to-understand interfaces, unintuitive information display, and users need to spend a lot of time learning and adapting to the system. This not only reduces operational efficiency but also increases the possibility of operational errors. Summary of the Invention

[0011] According to one aspect of the invention, when clicking the interactive button to switch to another interface area for a function to be displayed and explained, the relevant guidance content is updated simultaneously.

[0012] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also provides a power monitoring system interface function guidance system, comprising: The interface area display processing module integrates prompts to highlight the interface area that needs guidance and explanation, and visually fades non-critical areas of the interface.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely one preferred embodiment of the invention and are only used to explain the invention. They do not limit the scope of protection of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0043] Example 1 This embodiment provides a method for guiding the interface functions of a power monitoring system, including the following steps: like Figure 2 As shown, after the power monitoring system program starts, it immediately enters the interface function guidance process, first focusing on button 1 on the left side of the screen. This is achieved by an arrow pointing from right to left to the center of button 1, ensuring that the arrow is clearly visible and not interfered with by other elements on the screen. To better highlight button 1, a floating box automatically wraps around the area where button 1 is located, slightly larger than the size of button 1, to ensure that button 1 is completely surrounded, while avoiding confusion with surrounding elements.

[0044] To clearly and concisely explain the function of button 1, floating text is displayed in the center of the screen, directly explaining the purpose and basic operation of button 1 to the user. This method is direct and efficient, quickly conveying necessary information to the user.

[0045] In addition to highlighting button 1 and related information, this solution also visually softens non-critical areas by reducing their brightness, further enhancing the user's focus on the current function.

[0046] As the user triggers the signal by clicking the mouse, the system will smoothly transition to the next function to be introduced—button 2.

[0047] After all the features have been introduced, a navigation completion message and a 3 / 3 navigation progress indicator will be displayed in the center of the screen, clearly informing the user that the current feature guidance process has been completed.
