Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices use a single sliding policy that is not adaptable to different usage scenarios, leading to suboptimal user experience and increased power consumption.

Innovation Solution

Implementing multiple sliding policies (quick and slow) based on usage scenarios, such as screen state, power mode, temperature, and content type, to adjust sliding duration and distance, thereby enhancing user experience and reducing power consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single sliding policy is used for all scenarios, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different usage scenarios deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesliding policy complexityVSAvoidadaptability to usage scenarios
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the single sliding policy into multiple scenario-specific policies (first sliding processing policy and second sliding processing policy). Each policy is tailored to specific usage scenarios, allowing the device to adapt to different conditions while maintaining manageable complexity through modular policy design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic policy selection where the sliding policy changes based on real-time usage scenarios. The system dynamically determines which policy to apply by detecting scenario characteristics, enabling adaptability without requiring a completely rigid multi-policy framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If a quick sliding processing policy is used, then the subjective smoothness feeling is improved, but the power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubjective smoothness feelingVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different sliding policy characteristics to different usage scenarios. The quick sliding policy with higher initial velocity and lower friction coefficient is applied locally to scenarios where smoothness is prioritized, while the slow sliding policy is applied to scenarios where power saving is more important, achieving local optimization rather than global uniformity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key parameters (initial velocity and friction coefficient) based on the usage scenario. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system can switch between smooth performance and power efficiency without requiring completely different sliding mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If a slow sliding processing policy is used, then the user can see and focus on content clearly, but the subjective smoothness feeling deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent display clarityVSAvoidsubjective smoothness feeling
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the slow sliding policy locally to scenarios where content clarity and focus are prioritized. This allows the system to reduce sliding distance and duration in specific contexts, enabling users to view and focus on content clearly without compromising overall system performance in other scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses partial sliding action in slow sliding scenarios, where the sliding distance and duration are intentionally reduced compared to the quick sliding policy. This partial action is sufficient for scenarios requiring content focus while avoiding the excessive sliding that would compromise clarity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Embodiments of this application disclose a display control method and an electronic device, and relate to the field of electronic devices. The electronic device displays a first page; the electronic device receives a first sliding operation of the user sliding along a first direction on the first page; and the electronic device controls, based on a target sliding processing policy in response to the first sliding operation, the first page to slide along the first direction, where when the target sliding processing policy is a first sliding processing policy, duration for which the first page is slid along the first direction is first duration, and a distance for which the first page is slid is a first distance.
