Application Page Switching With Unified Gestures and Identifier Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile applications lack unified sliding operations for page switching, leading to unsmooth transitions and poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
Implement a method where page switching in an application is achieved through synchronized adjustments of page identifiers in a predetermined region, using first and second sliding operations to switch between pages and adjust their positions, ensuring consistent user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different sliding operations are used for switching between different pages in an application, then each page can have customized switching behavior, but the sliding operations become un unified and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by implementing a unified sliding operation mechanism that works consistently across all pages in the application. The sliding detection module detects sliding operations in a standardized manner regardless of which page is active, and the page switching module uses this unified detection to switch between different page types (recommendation page, following page, personal page). This resolves the contradiction by making the sliding operation universal across all pages while still allowing different pages to be switched, thereby improving ease of operation without completely sacrificing adaptability.
2Device complexity
If page identifiers are not adjusted when switching pages, then the display interface remains simple, but users cannot intuitively recognize page changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback by adjusting the display positions of page identifiers based on the current page being displayed. The page identifier adjustment module modifies the positions of page identifiers in the navigation bar to provide visual feedback about which page is currently active and what other pages are available. This creates a dynamic feedback mechanism where the interface adapts to the current state, helping users intuitively recognize page changes without significantly increasing interface complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dimensionality change by utilizing the horizontal positioning dimension of page identifiers in the navigation bar to encode page information. Instead of adding more elements or complex structures, the system uses the existing spatial dimension (horizontal position) to convey page state information. The page identifiers are positioned at different horizontal locations to indicate different pages, allowing users to recognize page changes through spatial position changes rather than through additional interface elements.
3Speed
If sliding distance threshold is set low, then page switching is more responsive, but accidental switching increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the sliding distance threshold parameter based on the sliding speed parameter. The sliding detection module calculates both the sliding distance and sliding speed, and uses these parameters to determine whether to trigger a page switch. When sliding speed is high (indicating intentional action), a lower distance threshold can be used for responsive switching. When sliding speed is low (indicating possible accidental touch), a higher threshold is applied to prevent accidental switching. This dynamic parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction by making the system responsive to intentional actions while filtering out accidental inputs.

AI summary
Provided are a page switching method and apparatus for an application, and an electronic device and a non-transitory readable storage medium. The method includes: displaying a current page on a display interface of the application, and displaying page identifiers of at least two first pages of the application in a predetermined region of the display interface, the current page is one of the at least two first pages; obtaining a sliding operation for the current page; and when the sliding operation is a first sliding switching operation, switching the current page on the display interface to a next page, and adjusting a position of each page identifier in the predetermined region, the next page being the first page of the at least two first pages other than the current page. Any one of the first pages of the application is switched from the displayed current page to another first page to be displayed by means of the first sliding switching operation sent by a user, such that the sliding operations corresponding to switching actions for switching from each first page to other first pages in the application are all the same. Thus, a smoother sliding operation can be provided when the user performs the page switching.
