Solution Overview

Problem

The display of multiple floating windows on user interfaces in large-screen intelligent terminals interferes with user operations and causes poor user experience due to continuous and unmanaged display of prompt information.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent window is displayed based on preset conditions, with its duration adjusted based on the importance of the information, allowing for alternating display of information and automatic hiding after a preset duration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If floating windows are continuously displayed to provide prompt information, then information completeness is improved, but user interface interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiduser interface interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic window management where floating windows are displayed temporarily and automatically dismissed after a preset duration. The system dynamically adjusts window display based on timing conditions (e.g., within 30 minutes of boarding), ensuring important information is conveyed while preventing continuous interference. This resolves the contradiction by making the information display temporary rather than persistent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs periodic display cycles for floating windows, showing information for a predetermined time interval and then automatically hiding. This periodic action ensures that prompt information is repeatedly presented to users at appropriate intervals without continuously occupying the interface, balancing information delivery with user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Loss of information

If all prompt information is displayed simultaneously, then information availability is improved, but user attention is overwhelmed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availabilityVSAvoiduser attention management
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments prompt information into different categories (e.g., flight information, gate information, boarding information) and displays them in a sequential manner rather than all at once. The system divides the information delivery process into time-based segments, presenting one type of information at a time based on the current moment relative to boarding time, thus avoiding overwhelming users while ensuring all information becomes available.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by preparing and queuing prompt information in advance based on the flight schedule and current time. Information is pre-organized and displayed in a predetermined sequence, allowing users to receive information in a manageable flow rather than being presented with all information simultaneously, improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If floating window display duration is extended to ensure information is noticed, then information delivery effectiveness is improved, but interface occupation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery effectivenessVSAvoidinterface occupation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically changes the display duration parameter of floating windows based on the current moment relative to boarding time. For critical time windows (e.g., within 10 minutes of boarding), the display duration is extended to ensure information is noticed. For less critical periods, the duration is shortened. This parameter adjustment optimizes both information delivery effectiveness and minimizes unnecessary interface occupation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

This application provides an information display method. A method includes: displaying, by an electronic device, a first user interface, and when the electronic device meets a first preset condition, displaying, by the electronic device, a display window on the first user interface, where the display window is used for displaying first reminder information corresponding to the first preset condition, and the first preset condition includes at least one of the following: a location of the electronic device is within a first preset area range, system time of the electronic device is within a first preset time range, or the electronic device obtains a first preset message; and stopping, by the electronic device, displaying the display window after duration in which the electronic device displays the display window reaches first duration, where the first duration corresponds to the first reminder information.
