Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for displaying identification codes on terminal devices are complex and time-consuming, requiring users to unlock screens, navigate to application menus, and search for codes, making the process inconvenient and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that display identification codes directly in an icon-display region of the system user interface, eliminating the need to open the target application or search for the code in the menu, by acquiring and displaying the code in a specified region based on user information, allowing for quick and convenient access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the identification code is displayed in the menu of the application, then the code can be found, but the operation process is complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveidentification code accessibilityVSAvoidtime to display identification code

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The identification code is pre-fetched and cached in the background before the user actually needs it. When the user requests the code, it is immediately displayed from the cache without requiring the user to navigate through the application menu, thus reducing access time while maintaining code availability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The identification code is extracted from the application context and displayed in a separate, dedicated display area on the lock screen or home screen. This extraction allows the code to be accessed independently of the application interface, eliminating the need to open and navigate through the application menu

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of operation

If the application is opened to display the identification code, then the code is accessible, but the operation steps are increased

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconvenience of accessing identification codeVSAvoidnumber of operation steps

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A mediator component is introduced that bridges the lock screen/home screen and the application's identification code. This mediator fetches and displays the code directly on the main interface without requiring the user to open the application, thus simplifying the operation while maintaining access to the code

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system is segmented into independent components: the display layer (lock screen/home screen) and the data layer (application). The identification code is separated from the application interface and rendered independently on the display layer, allowing users to access it without entering the application

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Embodiments of the present application provide a method and an apparatus for displaying an identification code of an application. The method includes: acquiring an identification code in a target application in a system user interface (UI), where the identification code is generated by the target application according to user information in the target application; and displaying the identification code in an icon-display region of the target application in the system UI.
