Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If animation processing is performed in response to a third vertical synchronization signal within a vertical synchronization signal period, then the response speed of animation processing is improved, but the complexity of synchronization signal management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing animation processing in advance based on the third vertical synchronization signal before the actual display moment. The system determines the third VSync signal position within the current VSync period and triggers animation processing ahead of time, allowing the animation to be ready before the user interaction completes, thus improving response speed while managing complexity through structured signal timing
2Ease of operation
If animation processing is advanced to occur before the end of user operation, then user interaction experience is improved, but the processing timing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring the position of the third vertical synchronization signal within the VSync period and adjusting the animation processing timing accordingly. The system calculates whether the third VSync signal occurs before or after the midpoint of the period and uses this feedback to determine the optimal processing timing, ensuring precise timing control while improving user interaction experience

AI summary
An interface processing method and an electronic device are provided. A first application is installed in the electronic device. The method includes: receiving a first operation of a user on the first application; performing a first animation setting in response to a start event of the first operation; and performing animation processing in response to a third vertical synchronization signal, and displaying an animation picture of the first application when the first animation setting is completed and an end event of the first operation is received, where the third vertical synchronization signal is located between a first vertical synchronization signal and a second vertical synchronization signal in a first vertical synchronization signal period. In an embodiment of this application, a response speed of animation processing and display is increased, and user interaction experience is improved.
