Electronic Device Identification Data Capture via Display Region Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inefficiencies and complexity when switching between applications to retrieve information, often needing to switch back and forth between interfaces to recall details like order numbers, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and electronic device that allow users to capture and store identification data from a display region by analyzing display objects, enabling the data to be retrieved and displayed in a designated area without requiring frequent application switches.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users switch between applications to retrieve information, then information accessibility is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing and storing identification data from the active application before the user needs it. The snapshot data is pre-processed and stored in a accessible format, so when the user switches applications, the information is already prepared and ready for quick retrieval without requiring the user to manually navigate back to the original application.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism - a notification panel or pop-up window that acts as a mediator between the application data and the user. This intermediary displays the captured identification data in a convenient location (such as the status bar or notification area), allowing users to access information without directly switching between applications, thus simplifying the interaction flow.
2Reliability
If users switch between applications frequently, then information accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a copy of the identification data from the application interface and stores it in an accessible format. Instead of requiring users to switch applications to view the original data, the system generates and displays a copy (snapshot) of the relevant information in the notification panel or status bar, enabling quick access without time-consuming application switching while maintaining data accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary capture and validation of identification data before the user needs it. By automatically extracting and storing the data in advance, the system ensures information accuracy is established beforehand, and when retrieval is needed, the pre-validated data is immediately available, eliminating the time loss associated with switching applications to verify information.
3Loss of information
If users manually check information in multiple interfaces, then information completeness is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the essential identification data from the complex application interface and separates it from the rest of the application content. By taking out only the relevant information (such as order numbers, ticket IDs, or key data) and displaying it in the notification panel, the system provides complete necessary information without requiring users to navigate through multiple interfaces to gather scattered information pieces.

AI summary
An information processing method and an electronic device are disclosed. The electronic device has a display unit and the method includes receiving a first operation for covering a first display region of the display unit; determining the first display region corresponding to the first operation, and thereby determining a second display region which is a part of or all of the first display region; analyzing a display object in the second display region to obtain first identification data satisfying a predetermined condition; and storing the first identification data.
