Abstract

1. Name of the product in this design: Operating status display area for a dynamic graphical user interface for electronic devices. 2. Purpose of this design: An electronic device. 3. The key design features of this product are: the parts of the graphical user interface for which protection is requested, and the colors 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 for which protection is requested. 4. The image or photo that best illustrates the design points: Design 1 Interface Change Status Enlarged View 1. 5. The rear, left, right, top, and bottom views of Design 1 to Design 10 do not contain any design points, so the rear, left, right, top, and bottom views of Design 1 to Design 10 are omitted. 6. Design 1 is designated as the basic design. 7. Purpose of the graphical user interface: to control the operation of home appliances and to view the operating status of home appliances (e.g., washing machines, dryers, range hoods, etc.). Parts of the interface are used to view the operating status of home appliances. 8. Human-Computer Interaction Method of Graphical User Interface: Design 1 presents the initial interface in the main view; after the user starts the appliance, the interface presents a dynamic process as shown in the enlarged view 1-4 of Design 1, where the circular operation status display area lights up clockwise with increasing brightness from the top, and gradually dims clockwise as it is about to fully illuminate; after the user activates a certain operation program of the appliance (e.g., washing, drying, self-cleaning, etc.) by clicking buttons, voice control, or remote control, the interface presents a dynamic process as shown in the enlarged view 5-7 of Design 1, where the circular operation status display area lights up clockwise with increasing brightness from the top until it is fully illuminated; then, the illuminated area... The brightness of the display area gradually decreases clockwise, as shown in the enlarged view of Design 1 interface change state (Figure 8-9). The running status display area cycles through the dynamic process shown in the enlarged view of Design 1 interface change state (Figure 5-9) to show that the appliance is in the process of running the user-activated program. The human-computer interaction method of Design 2 is the same as that of Design 1. The main view of Design 3 presents the initial interface. After the user activates a certain program of the appliance (such as washing, drying, self-cleaning, etc.) by clicking a button, voice control, or remote control, the interface presents the dynamic process shown in the enlarged view of Design 3 interface change state (Figure 1-3). The circular running status display area lights up clockwise from the top with increasing brightness until it is fully lit. Then, the lit area gradually dims clockwise. The indicator light gradually dims clockwise, as shown in the enlarged view of the interface change state in Design 3 (Figure 4-5). The running status display area cycles through the dynamic process shown in the enlarged view of the interface change state in Design 1 (Figure 1-5) to demonstrate that the appliance is running the program activated by the user. The human-computer interaction method in Design 4 is the same as in Design 3. The main view of Design 5 presents the initial interface. After the user activates the appliance's network function via touch buttons, voice control, or remote control, the circular running status display area moves clockwise around the illuminated section and disappears, as shown in the enlarged view of the interface change state in Design 5 (Figure 1-4). Then, the circular running status display area moves counterclockwise around the illuminated section and disappears, as shown in the enlarged view of the interface change state in Design 5 (Figure 5-8). The design of the running status display area is shown in the dynamic process illustrated in Design 5 (enlarged view 1-8) to demonstrate that the home appliance is connected to the network. After the home appliance is successfully connected to the network, the circular running status display area lights up from the top and extends downwards until it is fully lit, as shown in Design 5 (enlarged view 9-10). The human-computer interaction method of Design 6 is the same as that of Design 5. The main view of Design 7 presents the initial interface. After the user starts the home appliance, the interface presents the dynamic process shown in Design 7 (enlarged view 1-3). The circular running status display area lights up clockwise with increasing brightness from the top and gradually turns off clockwise with decreasing brightness just before it is fully lit. Then the interface changes to Design 7 (enlarged view 4).After the user controls the appliance to enter Mode 1 (e.g., low fan speed mode of a range hood) via touch buttons, voice control, or remote control, the interface changes to the enlarged view of Design 7's interface change state in Figure 5; after the user controls the appliance to enter Mode 2 (e.g., medium fan speed mode of a range hood) via touch buttons, voice control, or remote control, the interface changes to the enlarged view of Design 7's interface change state in Figure 6; after the user controls the appliance to enter Mode 3 (e.g., high fan speed mode of a range hood) via touch buttons, voice control, or remote control, the interface changes to the enlarged view of Design 7's interface change state in Figure 7; the human-computer interaction method in Design 8 is the same as in Design 7; the main view in Design 9 presents the initial interface; after the user controls the appliance to enter Mode 2 (e.g., medium fan speed mode of a range hood) via touch buttons, voice control, or remote control, the interface changes to the enlarged view of Design 7's interface change state in Figure 7; the human-computer interaction method in Design 8 is the same as in Design 7; the main view in Design 9 presents the initial interface; after the user controls the appliance to enter Mode 3 (e.g., high fan speed mode of a range hood) via touch buttons, voice control, or remote control, the interface changes to the enlarged view of Design 7's interface change state in Figure 7; the human-computer interaction method in Design 8 is the same as in Design 7; the main view in Design 9 presents the initial interface; the interface changes to the enlarged view of Design 7's interface change state in Figure 8's human-computer interaction method is the same as in Design 7; the interface changes to the enlarged view of Design 8's human-computer interaction method is the same as in Design 7; the interface changes to the enlarged view of Design 9's human-computer interaction method is the same as in Design 7's human-computer interaction method; the interface changes to the enlarge After enabling the home appliance's network connectivity, the interface displays a dynamic process as shown in the enlarged diagram 1-4 of Design 9. The circular operation status display area moves clockwise around a circle with lit sections and then disappears. Then, the circular operation status display area moves counter-clockwise around a circle with lit sections and then disappears, as shown in the enlarged diagram 5-8 of Design 9. The operation status display area cycles through the dynamic process shown in the enlarged diagram 1-8 of Design 9 to demonstrate that the home appliance is connected to the network. After the home appliance successfully connects to the network, the circular operation status display area lights up from the top and extends downwards until it is fully lit, as shown in the enlarged diagram 9-10 of Design 9. The human-computer interaction method of Design 10 is the same as that of Design 9. 9. Other situations requiring explanation: Design 1-Design 10 requests protection for the portion not covered by the brown translucent layer.
