Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for annotation on interaction intelligent tablets fail to meet the requirements of normal view refresh during writing acceleration, often resulting in screen freezing and chaotic display due to the use of FrameBuffer.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of an annotation display method that utilizes a mouse layer, a transparent layer above the system view layer, to draw and display annotation handwritings, allowing for immediate writing acceleration without freezing the screen and maintaining normal view refresh.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If FrameBuffer is used to achieve writing acceleration, then annotation handwritings can be displayed immediately, but the screen may become chaotic and Android view refresh cannot work

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay speed of annotation handwritingsVSAvoiddisplay stability and view refresh
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display system into two independent layers: the system view layer (managed by Android) and the mouse layer (managed by the annotation application). This segmentation allows each layer to operate independently without interfering with the other, resolving the conflict between writing acceleration and view refresh. The mouse layer is specifically designed to handle annotation content while the system view layer maintains normal Android operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a mouse layer as an intermediary between the annotation application and the display system. This intermediate layer receives annotation data from the annotation application and renders it separately, acting as a mediator that prevents direct conflicts between FrameBuffer operations and Android view refresh mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the screen is frozen to avoid chaotic display, then display stability is maintained, but Android view refresh cannot work during annotation writing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay stabilityVSAvoidview refresh capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the display into separate layers with different responsibilities, the patent eliminates the need to freeze the screen. The system view layer can continue refreshing normally while the mouse layer handles annotation rendering independently, maintaining both stability and productivity simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If Android and annotation application both use FrameBuffer, then resource utilization is improved, but picture display becomes chaotic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoiddisplay coherence
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the FrameBuffer usage by creating separate rendering contexts: one for the system view layer and another for the mouse layer. This allows both Android and the annotation application to use FrameBuffer simultaneously without conflict, as each operates in its own designated layer space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a new dimension to the display architecture by introducing a layered structure. Instead of competing for the same display space, Android and the annotation application operate in different dimensional layers (system view layer vs. mouse layer), allowing both to utilize FrameBuffer without causing picture chaos.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

The present disclosure, applying to the technical field of interaction intelligent tablets, relates to an annotation display method, device, apparatus and a storage medium. The method comprises: receiving touch data, wherein the touch data is data of a touch point caused by an annotation event that occurs on a touch screen of an interaction intelligent tablet; and displaying an annotation handwriting through the interaction intelligent tablet, wherein the annotation handwriting is obtained according to the touch data, and is drawn on a mouse layer; wherein the mouse layer is a transparent layer and is located above a system view layer. The embodiments of the present disclosure solve the problem that the system view cannot be refreshed when the writing acceleration is performed, and at the same time realize the object of quickly displaying the annotation handwriting.
