Application Card Resizing by Slide Gesture on Terminal Interfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing method for changing the display size of an application card in a mobile terminal requires complex operations, including long pressing a menu button, selecting a submenu, and adding or deleting application cards, leading to low efficiency and poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
An application card adjustment method that allows users to adjust the display size by triggering a first slide operation gesture, enabling the terminal device to obtain a size adjustment policy and automatically change the display size based on the gesture, without needing to navigate through menu interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the menu button long press method is used to change application card display size, then the display size can be adjusted, but the operation procedure becomes complex and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the core function of changing application card display size from the complex menu operation sequence and binds it directly to a simple slide gesture on the card itself. This removes the unnecessary intermediate steps of long pressing menu buttons, navigating submenus, and selecting options, leaving only the essential gesture-action pairing.
Solution Approach 2:
The application card itself becomes the trigger for its own size adjustment through the slide gesture, eliminating the need for external menu operations. The card serves both as the object to be adjusted and the control interface, allowing users to directly interact with the card to change its display size without leaving the current interface.
2Ease of operation
If multiple menu navigation steps are required to adjust application card size, then precise control is achieved, but user experience deteriorates due to complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-binds multiple display size options to the application card itself, so when a user performs a slide gesture, the predetermined size options are immediately presented or applied without requiring navigation through menus. This preliminary preparation of size options eliminates the time loss associated with menu navigation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables users to skip the entire menu navigation process and go directly from the slide gesture to the size adjustment result. The intermediate steps of long pressing, menu display, submenu selection, and confirmation are all bypassed, allowing the operation to rush through to completion in a single intuitive action.

AI summary
A method includes: obtaining, in response to a first slide operation gesture on a first application card in a current display interface, a size adjustment policy of the first application card; determining a target display size of the first application card based on a current display size of the first application card and the size adjustment policy; and displaying the first application card at the target display size in the current display interface. In this application, without sequentially selecting an application and a display size of an application card in a menu content display interface, a first slide operation gesture is directly triggered on an application card to indicate a terminal device to automatically adjust a display size of the application card based on a current display size of the application card and a size adjustment policy, simplifying a procedure of adjusting the display size of the application card.
