Adaptive User Interface Information Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional user interface design mechanisms fail to efficiently allocate information, leading to increased user psychological burden and poor operating experience due to excessive information presentation.
Innovation Solution
A method and electronic device that adaptively adjust the number of informative items in a user interface by removing excess items when they exceed a predetermined range (5 to 8), using eye tracking to identify relevant information and updating the interface to optimize information presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the user interface displays comprehensive information to ensure completeness, then the information completeness is improved, but the user psychological burden increases and operating experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the user interface into multiple hierarchical levels (first user interface and second user interface). The first interface displays a controlled number of informative items (5-8) to reduce psychological burden, while additional information is organized in the second interface that can be accessed when needed. This segmentation allows the system to maintain information completeness while controlling the information load on the user at any given moment.
2Loss of information
If the user interface contains extensive information to ensure thoroughness, then the information thoroughness is improved, but the user psychological burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic user interface system that adapts the amount of information displayed based on user interaction. The first user interface dynamically displays only 5-8 informative items to minimize psychological burden, while the system maintains readiness to provide additional information through the second interface. This dynamic adjustment allows the interface to be thorough when needed while being concise during normal operation, resolving the contradiction between information thoroughness and psychological burden.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional user interface design mechanisms are used, then the design process is simple, but the information allocation is unreasonable and efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by establishing a specific quantitative parameter for the number of informative items (5-8 items) in the first user interface. This parameter-based approach transforms the subjective design process into an objective, measurable system. By changing the parameter of information quantity from unlimited to a controlled range, the system achieves reasonable information allocation while maintaining design simplicity through clear, actionable guidelines.
Data Source
AI summary
The disclosure proposes a method for adaptively adjusting amount of information in user interface design and an electronic device. The method includes: obtaining a software structure and reading a user interface in the software structure; identifying a number of a plurality of informative items in the user interface; updating the user interface by removing a part of the informative items if the number of the informative items is not in a predetermined range, wherein the number of the informative items in the updated user interface is in the predetermined range.
