Application Page Switching With Synchronized Page Identifiers
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 and apparatus for page switching in applications that unify sliding operations by adjusting page identifiers in a predetermined region based on a first sliding switching operation, allowing seamless transitions between pages and synchronized adjustments of page identifiers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different sliding operations are used for switching actions in different pages, then each page can have customized switching behavior, but the sliding operations become unsmooth and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by implementing a unified sliding operation mechanism that works consistently across all pages of the application. The switching action is designed to be page-agnostic, allowing the same sliding gesture to switch between different types of pages (content pages, category pages, etc.) without requiring users to learn different operations for each page type. This resolves the contradiction by prioritizing operational smoothness while maintaining adaptability through the flexible page switching logic.
2Stability of the object's composition
If page identifiers are not adjusted during page switching, then the display interface remains stable, but user recognition of the current page slows down
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by proactively adjusting the page identifiers in the bottom navigation bar synchronously with the page switching operation. When a user switches from a content page to a category page, the system preemptively updates the highlighted page identifier to reflect the new active page, ensuring the user can immediately recognize the current page without delay. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining display stability while eliminating recognition delay through synchronized updates.
3Ease of operation
If page identifiers are adjusted synchronously during page switching, then user recognition of the current page improves, but the complexity of the switching mechanism increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies merging by combining the page switching operation with the page identifier adjustment into a single synchronized action. Rather than treating these as separate operations, the system merges them into one atomic switching mechanism where the page change and the identifier update occur simultaneously. This resolves the contradiction by improving page recognition speed while minimizing mechanism complexity through operational consolidation.

AI summary
Described herein are techniques for switching pages of an application. The techniques comprise displaying a content page in a first area of an interface of the application; displaying page identifiers corresponding to content pages in a second area of the interface; receiving a sliding operation performed on the content page; determining whether the sliding operation is performed in a first direction or a second direction; switching to display an other content page in the first area and automatically adjusting positions of the page identifiers in the second area in response to determining that the sliding operation is performed in the first g direction; and displaying a profile page corresponding to a creator of content displayed in the content page in response to determining that the sliding operation is performed in the second direction.
