Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information transmission methods across applications on intelligent devices require complex and cumbersome operations, affecting user efficiency and experience.
Innovation Solution
An information transmission method that displays multiple application service icons in an interface, allowing direct placement of information into a target application through intuitive gestures, eliminating the need for copying or switching applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user copies or saves information in the browser and then switches to WeChat to share or upload, then the information can be transmitted between applications, but the operation steps become complex and cumbersome, reducing interaction efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the information transmission function directly into the browser application interface by displaying target application icons (such as WeChat) within the browser page. This allows users to share or upload information directly from the browser without switching applications, combining multiple operations (copying, switching, sharing) into a single integrated action, thereby reducing operation steps and time consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of a sharing toolbar or context menu that appears when users select information in the browser. This intermediary provides direct access to target applications (like WeChat) without requiring users to manually switch applications, acting as a bridge that streamlines the information transmission process between applications
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple application interfaces are displayed in split-screen mode, then information can be accessed across applications, but the device complexity and interface management become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the target application icons and sharing functionality from the separate application interface and embeds them directly within the browser interface. This allows cross-application access to be achieved without requiring split-screen mode or multiple active application windows, thereby reducing interface management complexity while maintaining adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to the browser interface by overlaying or embedding target application icons within the existing browser page layout. This dimensional addition provides cross-application access capabilities without requiring the browser to switch to split-screen mode or change its fundamental interface structure, thus avoiding increased device complexity

AI summary
An electronic device may directly display a plurality of application service icons in an interface in response to an operation performed by a user on information, so as to help the user place the information into a target application service, so that the electronic device can efficiently and quickly complete information transmission between applications, thereby effectively reducing an operation step required by the user to complete information transmission across applications, improving interaction efficiency between the user and the electronic device, and further improving user experience.
