Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile devices require constant manual page swiping to load consecutive pages while browsing news and social applications, which is inefficient and inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a page browsing method using 3D Touch technology to configure automatic browsing mode based on user input, allowing consecutive pages to be automatically loaded without manual intervention, utilizing direction and speed detection for page navigation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If manual page swiping is used to load consecutive pages, then the device can display more content, but the operation efficiency deteriorates due to constant manual intervention required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent display quantityVSAvoidbrowsing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects user browsing intent and performs page loading operations without requiring manual swiping. The electronic device serves itself by monitoring touch operations and automatically loading consecutive pages based on detected browsing patterns, eliminating the need for continuous manual intervention while maintaining content display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automatic browsing is implemented, then browsing efficiency improves, but device complexity increases due to additional configuration requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrowsing efficiencyVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of user touch operations to identify browsing intent before automatically executing page loading. By detecting the first touch operation in advance and configuring automatic browsing mode proactively, the system prepares the automatic browsing function before it is actually needed, reducing the perceived complexity for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Area of stationary object

If 3D Touch technology is used for automatic browsing configuration, then interface space is preserved without additional icons, but the detection precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface spaceVSAvoidtouch detection precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system utilizes 3D Touch technology to detect variations in touch pressure parameters, distinguishing between different user intentions (browsing vs. other operations) based on pressure thresholds. By changing the detection parameter from simple touch presence to pressure-sensitive detection, the system achieves accurate intent recognition without adding interface elements, preserving interface space while meeting precision requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
