Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mobile devices experience image latency and unsmooth image transitions when users rapidly swipe through numerous photographs in full screen view, due to varying moving speeds during swiping actions.

Innovation Solution

A constant speed display method is implemented in electronic devices, which determines consecutive swiping actions and displays aligning animations at a constant speed, enhancing visual experience by maintaining a consistent image transition speed during rapid swiping.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the photograph changes to adjacent pictures by single complete swiping action in general display mode, then the user can navigate through pictures, but the moving speed alternates during each swiping action causing image latency and unsmooth images

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepicture navigationVSAvoidimage smoothness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the display mode based on the swiping speed. When consecutive swiping actions are detected within a threshold time period, the system switches from general display mode to constant speed display mode, making the photograph move at a constant speed to ensure smooth image transitions during rapid swiping operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the speed parameter of the photograph based on detected swiping patterns. In constant speed display mode, the photograph moves at a predetermined constant speed rather than varying speeds, which eliminates image latency and ensures smooth transitions when users rapidly swipe through pictures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Speed

If the photograph moves at varying speeds during swiping actions, then the swiping action can be completed, but image latency and unsmooth images are caused visually

Engineering Contradiction:

AI summary

A constant speed display method applied in an electronic device is provided. The electronic device is in a full screen view for illustrating images in a photograph. The method has the following steps of: determining whether consecutive swiping touch actions matching specific criteria have been received by the electronic device; and displaying an aligning animation of the images in the photograph at a constant speed without being affected by a next swiping action after the consecutive swiping touch actions matching the specific criteria have been received by the electronic device.
