Solution Overview

Problem

Users face cumbersome operations when obtaining and accessing URL addresses or passwords from social software, as they need to manually copy and paste them into browsers or apps, which is inefficient and time-consuming.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that automatically detect and present relevant information from the clipboard as text or icon on the terminal's desktop when switching to a specified interface, allowing direct access to the corresponding web page or app without needing to search for the app.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual copying and pasting of URL or password is used, then information can be transferred between applications, but user operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser operationVSAvoidtime-consuming
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically detecting copied content in the clipboard and pre-generating actionable information cards before the user needs them. When the user switches to a specified interface, the system has already prepared the second information (actionable cards) based on the clipboard content, eliminating the need for manual search and paste operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary component (the information card system) between the clipboard and the target application. Instead of directly pasting content into applications, the system creates intermediate actionable cards that serve as a bridge, allowing users to access copied content through a simplified interface without manual copying and pasting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If automatic detection and presentation of clipboard information is implemented, then user operation is simplified and efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically monitoring the clipboard, detecting copied content types (URLs, passwords, text), and generating appropriate actionable information cards without user intervention. The system serves itself by managing the entire process from clipboard detection to presenting relevant action cards, reducing the need for complex user interactions while maintaining relatively simple system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method of presenting information on a terminal, includes: acquiring (S11) first information in a clipboard when an operation interface of the terminal switches to a specified interface; and generating and presenting (S11) second information based on content of the first information when the first information has not been presented before and meets a presentation condition.
