Adaptive Button Display Using Intent-Aware Operation Counting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing devices count user operations uniformly, including unintended operations, leading to unintended screen transitions.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that stores button control information to track operation counts, differentiates between intended and unintended operations, and adjusts display styles of buttons based on usage patterns, hiding infrequently used buttons.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If uniform operation counting is used for all operating buttons, then the system is simple to implement, but unintended operations are counted leading to unintended screen transitions
Solution Approach 1:
The operation counting system is segmented by introducing a time interval threshold that differentiates between intended and unintended operations. Each button operation is evaluated independently based on whether a screen transition occurs within a predetermined time interval, allowing the system to count only intended operations for each button separately.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from screen transition events to adjust operation counting. When a screen transition occurs within a predetermined time interval after a button operation, the system determines that the operation was unintended and does not count it. This feedback mechanism ensures that only intended operations are counted, improving screen transition accuracy.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all operating buttons are displayed on the screen, then the interface is complete, but infrequently used buttons increase screen clutter and reduce user convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The button display configuration is made dynamic by automatically adjusting which buttons are shown on the screen based on operation counts. The system compares operation counts of multiple buttons and hides buttons with lower operation counts below a threshold, while displaying buttons with higher operation counts. This dynamic adjustment adapts the interface to user behavior patterns, improving usability while maintaining functionality.

AI summary
To provide a technology wherein screen customization is performed more closely in accordance with the intention of the user, through more properly controlling user operation count.An information processing device, comprising: a displaying unit for displaying a display screen that has at least one operating button; a storing unit for storing button control information that includes, for each operating button, a record of an operating count for the operating button; a drawing unit for determining the display format for the operating button, using at least the button control information, to draw the display screen; and an updating unit for incrementing the operating count corresponding to the operating button related to the first operation in the button control information when an input into one operating buttons displayed on the display screen is received, as a first operation, and no second operation that would cause a screen transition from the display screen to another screen that is different from the display screen is received within a predetermined time interval.
