Solution Overview

Problem

Current display technologies lack visual engagement during scrolling operations, as they do not effectively utilize animations to draw attention to newly exposed content, leading to a less engaging user experience.

Innovation Solution

A display control method and apparatus that recognizes scrolling operations and applies animations to content regions as they are exposed on the screen, including animation generation based on scrolling speed and direction, to enhance visual effects and user interest.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If scrolling operation is performed without animation effects, then the display is simple and fast, but user engagement and visual interest are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescrolling speedVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamic animation effects to content during scrolling operations. The animation system dynamically adjusts animation parameters based on scrolling speed and direction, transforming static content display into a dynamic visual experience that maintains user engagement while preserving scrolling performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic animation triggers during scrolling, where animations are activated at specific intervals or when certain conditions are met (e.g., when content enters the visible area). This periodic application of visual effects enhances user engagement without continuously impacting scrolling performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Productivity

If animation effects are applied during scrolling, then user engagement is improved, but processing complexity and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies animation effects selectively to specific content regions rather than the entire display. The system identifies and applies animations only to content that enters the visible area during scrolling, reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining user engagement in the most relevant areas

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts animation parameters based on scrolling conditions. The animation system monitors scrolling speed and direction, then modifies animation intensity, duration, and type accordingly, reducing processing complexity during fast scrolling while enhancing engagement during slower, more deliberate scrolling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If animation effects are applied during scrolling, then visual interest is enhanced, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual interestVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial animation application, where animation effects are applied only to portions of content that are most relevant to user interaction. By selectively animating only the content that enters the visible area rather than all content, the system maintains visual interest while reducing overall energy consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A display control method includes displaying at least a portion of a page, in which one or more content regions including contents are arranged, on a screen image; recognizing a scrolling operation with respect to the page; and scrolling the page based on the scrolling operation and applying an animation with respect to content included in a content region exposed on the screen image as the page is scrolled.
