Solution Overview

Problem

Current portable electronic devices often experience abnormal application closures when upgraded, disrupting multi-window display modes and causing inconvenience to users.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method and apparatus that monitor target applications for abnormalities and automatically switch their window display modes from a first to a second mode, ensuring the application adapts to the target display mode and continues to operate without closure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the application version is upgraded, then the application functionality is improved, but the application may become abnormal in multi-window display mode and close automatically

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication functionalityVSAvoidapplication stability in multi-window mode
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches the window display mode from the first mode to the second mode based on real-time detection of application abnormalities. This dynamic adjustment allows the application to adapt to the target display mode and continue operating without abnormal closure, resolving the contradiction between improved functionality and maintained stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the window display mode parameter (from first window display mode to second window display mode) when detecting application abnormalities. This parameter change enables the application to function properly in the target display mode, maintaining reliability while supporting upgraded application versions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the application is closed abnormally in multi-window mode, then the system stability is maintained, but user convenience and continuous usage are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem stabilityVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The monitoring module performs preliminary detection of application abnormalities before they cause closure. By detecting issues early and triggering a window mode switch proactively, the system maintains both stability and user convenience, allowing continuous usage without abrupt closures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop where the monitoring module continuously checks application status and triggers automatic window mode switching when abnormalities are detected. This closed-loop control ensures system stability while preventing user inconvenience by maintaining continuous application availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If the window display mode is switched automatically, then the application continues to operate in target display mode, but additional control logic and monitoring are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication continuityVSAvoidcontrol logic complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service through automatic monitoring and self-correction. The monitoring module autonomously detects application abnormalities and triggers the window mode switch without user intervention, maintaining application continuity while keeping the control logic relatively simple and automated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An information processing method applied to an electronic device includes monitoring whether the target application is abnormal in response to a target application being started when the electronic device is in a target display mode, and in response to the target application being abnormal, switching a window of the target application from a first window display mode to a second window display mode such that the target application adapts to a target display mode. In the target display mode, the window of the target application is in the first window display mode indicated by the target display mode.
