Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user interfaces for electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces require repetitive, complex, and cumbersome inputs for navigation and manipulation, leading to inefficiency and increased power consumption.
Innovation Solution
Implement methods to dynamically adjust display properties of user interface components based on layer designations, underlying content, and ambient lighting conditions, enhancing user interaction efficiency and reducing power drain.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional user interface manipulation methods are used, then the device can perform operations, but the input process becomes repetitive, complex, and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display properties that automatically adjust based on ambient light conditions and user interaction context. The display adapts its characteristics (brightness, contrast, color temperature) in real-time without requiring manual user configuration, reducing the complexity of user interaction while maintaining operational effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-adjusting display properties that automatically respond to environmental conditions and usage patterns. The device monitors ambient light levels and autonomously modifies display parameters, eliminating the need for users to manually configure settings and reducing repetitive input actions
2Productivity
If conventional user interface navigation methods are used, then the device can be controlled, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic adjustments of display properties based on ambient light conditions and usage context. Instead of continuous high-power operation, the display dynamically adjusts its characteristics in periodic cycles, reducing overall power consumption while maintaining navigation efficiency during active use
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes display parameters (brightness, contrast, refresh rate) dynamically based on operational context and environmental conditions. By adjusting these parameters in response to actual usage needs rather than maintaining fixed high-performance settings, the device reduces power consumption while preserving navigation productivity
