Solution Overview

Problem

Existing calendar applications display limited schedule information in a monotonous list view, requiring multiple taps to access detailed information, reducing viewing efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A calendar view display method that switches to a card view format, displaying more detailed information including schedule source, classification, inviter, and participant, with interactive regions and third-party interface integration, allowing richer information display and interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If schedule information is displayed in a list view, then the display is simple and clear, but the amount of information displayed is limited and requires multiple taps to view detailed information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveschedule informationVSAvoidviewing operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The schedule information is segmented into different display layers: the card view displays key information immediately, while detailed information is organized in expandable sections or accessible through structured regions within the card, allowing users to access comprehensive data without navigating through multiple list items

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a one-dimensional list view to a two-dimensional card layout, enabling richer information presentation within a single view. The card structure utilizes vertical and horizontal space to display multiple information elements (title, time, location, participants, attachments) simultaneously, eliminating the need for sequential tapping through list items

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If more detailed schedule information is displayed, then user convenience is improved, but the display layout becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveschedule informationVSAvoiddisplay layout
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the card are assigned different visual qualities and information densities. The title region uses prominent typography, the time region uses distinct coloring, and optional information regions use subdued styling. This localized differentiation allows rich information presentation while maintaining visual clarity and avoiding overall layout complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The card layout incorporates dynamic elements such as expandable sections, collapsible details, and interactive regions that adapt to user needs. Information can be displayed in a compact form by default and expanded on user interaction, allowing the layout to remain simple when needed while providing comprehensive information when required

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A calendar view display method, an electronic device, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and pertains to the field of terminal technologies. The method includes: starting a calendar application in response to a triggering operation on the calendar application; and displaying a first interface of the calendar application, where the first interface displays schedule information of at least two schedules, the schedule information of the at least two schedules is displayed in a form of a card, and for schedule information of each of the at least two schedules, an amount of information displayed in the form of the card is greater than an amount of information displayed in a list view. In this application, schedule information is displayed in a form of a card, to ensure that more detailed information of a schedule is displayed, thereby improving convenience and efficiency of viewing detailed information of a schedule by the user.
