Android Application Label Modification via Mapping Table
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for changing application names on Android platforms require root permission and do not persist across desktop changes, limiting user customization and flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that allow users to modify application labels without specific permission, using a pre-set application gateway to receive and store new labels in association with original information, such as package and class names, within a mapping structure, enabling persistent changes across desktop environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If root permission is required to change application name, then application label can be modified, but user operation complexity increases and accessibility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mapping table as an intermediary layer between the application label display and the actual application package. This mapping table stores the correspondence between original application labels and new user-defined labels, allowing label modification without requiring root permissions or system-level access. The mapping table acts as a mediator that decouples the display layer from the system core, enabling safe and easy label customization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If application label is changed using existing software, then label can be customized, but the change does not persist across desktop changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-establishes a mapping table structure that is designed to persist across different desktop environments. Before desktop changes occur, the mapping relationship between original application labels and new labels is stored in this predefined structure. When desktops are switched or reset, the system retrieves the pre-stored mapping table and applies the label customizations automatically, ensuring persistence without requiring re-customization.
3Adaptability or versatility
If application label modification is restricted to specific desktops, then system stability is maintained, but user flexibility and customization capability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the application label system into two independent parts: the original application package (which maintains system stability and functionality) and the mapping table (which stores customization information). This segmentation allows the mapping table to be freely modified and transferred across different desktops without affecting the core application packages. The original application remains unchanged and reliable, while the mapping layer provides flexible cross-desktop customization capability.
