Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mobile terminals lack the flexibility to control the format of character display, often presenting characters in fixed formats without user customization.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that determine the type of a character and adjust its display origin and manner based on its type, allowing different display treatments for characters of different types, such as Chinese and non-Chinese characters.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If characters are displayed in pre-determined fixed formats, then display consistency is maintained, but user flexibility and customization are lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay format flexibilityVSAvoidcharacter display control complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by determining the type of each character individually and applying different display origins and display manners to different character types. Specifically, Chinese characters are displayed with their origin at the upper left corner while English characters are displayed with their origin at the lower left corner, allowing each character type to have optimized display properties suited to its characteristics

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes display parameters (display origin coordinates and display manner) based on character type. By detecting whether a character is Chinese or English and adjusting the display origin and rendering method accordingly, the system achieves flexible adaptation without requiring complex user intervention or configuration

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If unified typesetting is applied to all characters, then layout consistency is achieved, but character-specific display optimization is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay precisionVSAvoidcharacter type adaptation

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by applying different display origins to different character types within the same text flow. Chinese characters use upper left origin while English characters use lower left origin, ensuring each character type is displayed with optimal positioning for its visual characteristics while maintaining overall text coherence

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the character display process by first determining character types (Chinese vs. English) and then applying type-specific display parameters. This segmentation allows the system to handle different character types with appropriate display methods while maintaining unified typesetting control

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Provided are a character display method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a to-be-displayed character; determining a type of the to-be-displayed character; determining a display origin of the to-be-displayed character based on the type of the to-be-displayed character; displaying, at the display origin of the to-be-displayed character, the to-be-displayed character in a first manner in response to the to-be-displayed character being of a first type; and displaying, at the display origin of the to-be-displayed character, the to-be-displayed character in a second manner in response to the to-be-displayed character being of a second type.
