Dynamic Card Emphasis for UI Filter Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in understanding how information changes on a user interface after data manipulation due to rapid updates and numerous cards, making it hard to identify which cards have been updated.
Innovation Solution
The system dynamically modifies the user interface by blurring or emphasizing cards that are not associated with the applied filter values, allowing users to easily distinguish updated cards through visual cues like blurring or color changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the user interface displays multiple cards with detailed information, then the user can access comprehensive data, but it becomes difficult to identify which cards have been updated after data manipulation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by blurring the background of cards that have been updated through data manipulation. This visual effect creates a distinct appearance change that allows users to quickly identify which cards have been modified, resolving the contradiction between displaying multiple cards and being able to detect updates.
2Speed
If the user interface updates information rapidly in response to manipulation, then the system responds quickly to user actions, but the user cannot understand how the displayed information changed
Solution Approach 1:
The rapid update mechanism combined with background blurring creates a visual feedback loop where users can immediately see which cards have changed after manipulation. The blurring effect persists long enough for users to understand the changes, then transitions to a clear state, maintaining both speed and usability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides visual feedback by applying a blurring effect to updated cards, allowing users to understand the relationship between their manipulation and the resulting information changes. This feedback mechanism resolves the contradiction between rapid updates and user comprehension.
3Area of stationary object
If the user interface displays all cards simultaneously, then the user can see the complete overview, but it is difficult to understand the relationship between cards quickly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by selectively blurring only the background of cards that have been updated, while leaving other cards clear. This localized visual treatment allows users to quickly identify and understand the relationships between updated and non-updated cards, maintaining comprehensive overview while improving usability.
Data Source
AI summary
According to some embodiments, systems and methods are provided, comprising: a memory storing executable program code; and a processing unit to execute the executable program code to cause the system to: generate a visualization of a plurality of cards, wherein each card displays at least one dimension; receive a value of a first dimension; and in response to reception of the value: determine an association between one or more of the plurality of cards and the first dimension; and dynamically modify the visualization by emphasizing the one or more of the plurality of cards based on the association. Numerous other aspects are provided.
