Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices face limitations in display screen size, leading to incomplete or blocked display interfaces during file or object movement, causing difficulty in accurately moving content between applications and resulting in poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A content sharing method that involves obtaining position information of a target icon during a move operation, adjusting the interface display state of a second application if the location is within its range, and sharing the target content with the second application upon reaching its interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If the display screen size is limited, then the device portability is maintained, but the interface display becomes incomplete or blocked during content movement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen sizeVSAvoidinterface display completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a virtual display dimension by projecting the display interface onto a virtual three-dimensional space. When content is moved between applications, the system creates a virtual display area that extends beyond the physical screen boundaries, allowing the interface to remain complete and unblocked while maintaining the actual small screen size for portability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If the interface display is adjusted during move operation, then the content transfer accuracy is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent transfer accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the display interface in three-dimensional space that mirrors the actual screen content. This virtual copy can be dynamically adjusted and positioned to ensure accurate content transfer between applications, while the physical device remains simple. The virtual interface serves as an accurate representation that can be manipulated without affecting the physical device's complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If the display interface is adjusted dynamically during move operation, then the user experience is improved, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-establishes the virtual display interface and its three-dimensional space before the actual content movement operation begins. The virtual interface is ready and configured in advance, so when the user initiates a move operation, the system can immediately utilize the pre-prepared virtual space without requiring complex real-time adjustments, thus reducing processing time while maintaining excellent user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Provided are a content sharing method and apparatus, a terminal, and a storage medium, wherein the method is applied to an electronic device having a display. The method includes: obtaining the position information of the target icon during the move operation in response to a move operation for a target icon in the first application interface; adjusting the interface display state of the second application if the location identified by location information is within the location range associated with the second application; sharing the target content corresponding to the target icon with the second application if the end position of the move operation is in the second application interface, in response to the end of the move operation.
