Aggregated Contact Display for Messaging Search Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information display methods on terminals, such as for short message service messages and instant messaging records, result in low information search efficiency as lists grow longer, requiring frequent sliding and reducing touch screen and battery service life.
Innovation Solution
An information display method and apparatus that extracts contact information from list interfaces and displays it in an aggregated state, allowing for greater visibility and easier searching, potentially eliminating the need for sliding through long lists.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If contact information is displayed in a list interface, then each piece of information can be displayed with full details, but the number of pieces of contact information that can be displayed is limited and search efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the one-dimensional list display into a two-dimensional grid display of contact information icons. This dimensional change allows significantly more contact information to be displayed on the same screen area, improving both the quantity of information visible and search efficiency without requiring users to slide through long lists.
2Quantity of substance
If users continuously slide the list to search for information, then more contact information can be viewed, but the service life of the touch screen and battery is shortened
Solution Approach 1:
By changing from a vertical list layout to a two-dimensional grid layout, the patent enables users to view more contact information items on a single screen without sliding. This reduces the frequency of sliding operations, thereby extending the service life of the touch screen and battery while maintaining the ability to view a larger quantity of contact information.
3Loss of information
If the list interface is used for displaying contact information, then detailed information can be shown, but the interface becomes less efficient for searching as the list grows longer
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the contact information display into multiple icon representations that can be arranged in a grid. Each icon represents contact information and can be independently interacted with. This segmentation allows users to quickly locate and access specific contact information without having to scroll through a long list, thereby maintaining information completeness while significantly improving search efficiency.
