Solution Overview

Problem

Current terminal devices display information in complex modes, making it inconvenient for users to read and find required information across different processes.

Innovation Solution

A method for processing information across processes involves receiving an element selection instruction, generating a displaceable view, switching to a target display interface, and displacing the view to a second process, allowing users to display target elements from one process on another, such as from a notification bar to a desktop.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If information is displayed in multiple different processes and modes (notification bar, short message, conversation box, swipe left screen), then information coverage is comprehensive, but information retrieval complexity increases and user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation coverageVSAvoidinformation retrieval convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges information from multiple different processes (notification bar, short message, conversation box, swipe left screen) into a unified information management interface. This allows users to access and manage all information types from a single location, eliminating the need to switch between multiple processes and display modes, thereby resolving the contradiction between comprehensive information coverage and easy information retrieval.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If information is organized across multiple display modes and processes, then information categorization is detailed, but device operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation categorizationVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary information management interface that acts as a mediator between the various information sources (different processes and display modes) and the user. This intermediary layer consolidates information from multiple categorized sources into a unified view, allowing users to access detailed categorized information without navigating through multiple complex processes, thus reducing operational complexity while maintaining detailed categorization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A cross-process information processing method, and a controller, a terminal and a storage medium are disclosed. The method may include receiving an element selection instruction for selection of a target element in a first process in a current display interface; generating a displaceable view that may include the target element according to the element selection instruction, where the displaceable view is for subsequent displacement and placement; switching the current display interface to a target display interface carrying a second process; and receiving a view displacement instruction, and displacing the displaceable view into the second process according to the view displacement instruction.
