Comment Layer Display Structure for Simultaneous Browsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display methods for browsing objects and comments on terminal devices inefficiently utilize screen space, leading to wasted computing resources and user operations, as they often require switching between the browsing object and comments.
Innovation Solution
A display method and apparatus that determines a display structure for a comment layer based on predefined parameters, allowing the comment layer to overlap with the browsing object's region, with a smaller range in one or both directions, ensuring the browsing object remains visible while displaying comments, thus optimizing screen utilization and reducing resource consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If comments are displayed in a separate full-screen interface, then comments can be viewed in detail, but the browsing object is no longer visible and users must switch between views
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple regions: a first region for displaying the browsing object and a second region for displaying the comment layer. This segmentation allows both the browsing object and comments to be visible simultaneously in different areas of the screen, eliminating the need for users to switch between full-screen views and reducing information loss.
2Loss of information
If a large comment layer is generated to display all comments, then all comments are visible, but screen space is wasted and computing resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of generating a comment layer that occupies the entire screen, the patent implements a partial comment layer that only occupies the necessary second region of the screen. This partial action approach displays sufficient comment information without wasting screen space or consuming excessive computing resources to generate and render a full-screen comment layer.
3Area of stationary object
If the comment layer occupies the same region as the browsing object, then screen space is maximized, but the browsing object becomes obscured
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is divided into distinct segments: the first region for the browsing object and the second region for the comment layer. This segmentation ensures that the comment layer does not overlap with or obscure the browsing object, while still maximizing screen utilization by using the available display space efficiently.

AI summary
A display method and apparatus, and an electronic device are provided, the method includes: displaying a browsing object in a first region, wherein the first region displays on a online documentation; determining, in response to an instruction to display a comment for the browsing object, a display structure of a comment layer based on a predefined display parameter of the comment for the browsing object, wherein the predefined display parameter is configured to indicate a size of a second region in which the comment layer is located; and generating the comment layer based on the determined display structure, and displaying the comment in the generated comment layer, wherein a range of the second region is smaller than a range of the first region in a first direction or a second direction.
