Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic devices lack the ability to personalize user interfaces for displaying electronic documents and items, making it difficult for users to efficiently search and interact with their content based on individual preferences.

Innovation Solution

The method involves an electronic device that adjusts the display of electronic documents and items on a list or in a thumbnail view according to user preferences, allowing users to input preference information through touch inputs, which alters the size and prominence of items based on their preference levels, and synchronizes this data with a server to create a personalized database for improved user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional electronic devices display electronic documents and items in a standard list or thumbnail view, then the display structure is simple and consistent, but users cannot efficiently search for and access content based on individual preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch efficiencyVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system dynamically adjusts the presentation of electronic documents and items based on user preference information. The processor modifies display characteristics such as size, position, and visual prominence of items in real-time according to stored preference data, transforming a static display into an adaptive interface that evolves with user interactions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes display parameters including item size, position, and visual emphasis based on user preference levels. High-priority items are displayed with larger sizes and more prominent positions, while low-priority items are minimized, allowing the same content to be presented in multiple configurations without adding physical components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If the display adapts to user preferences by altering item size and prominence, then user interaction efficiency improves, but the display layout becomes more complex and variable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction efficiencyVSAvoiddisplay layout stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the display are assigned different qualities based on user preferences. High-priority items occupy prominent positions with larger visual weight, while low-priority items are placed in less prominent areas with smaller sizes. This local differentiation optimizes access efficiency without requiring complete layout reorganization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

User preference information is collected and stored in advance through user interactions such as selections and feedback. The system pre-processes this preference data to establish priority rankings, so that when display adjustments are needed, the system can quickly retrieve and apply pre-determined preference configurations rather than calculating them in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
