Document View Displaying Method With Adaptive Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current document viewing systems face challenges in efficiently displaying multimedia information due to limited screen space, where view information occupies excessive space, hindering the convenience of viewing other document contents.
Innovation Solution
A view displaying method that dynamically adjusts the number and layout of view information based on screen orientation, allowing for swipe and zoom-in operations to optimize space usage and user experience, featuring a content area and view area with distinct browse directions and layouts for portrait and landscape modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If view information is displayed in the document interface, then multimedia information can be presented to users, but the screen space for viewing other document contents is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The document interface is segmented into distinct regions: a content area for displaying document contents and a view area for displaying view information. This spatial segmentation allows both document content and multimedia view information to coexist without excessive overlap, resolving the contradiction by allocating specific display zones to each type of information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a third dimension of interaction by implementing different browse directions: the content area uses vertical browsing (up/down) while the view area uses horizontal browsing (left/right). This dimensional differentiation allows users to navigate view information without interfering with document content browsing, effectively resolving the screen space conflict.
2Loss of information
If view information occupies large screen space, then multimedia content can be displayed in detail, but convenience of viewing other document contents is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the interface into content area and view area with distinct functional zones, the patent ensures that multimedia view information can be displayed in detail within the view area without encroaching on the content area, thus maintaining ease of viewing document contents.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment mechanisms where the display of view information can be controlled through user interactions (swipe gestures, browse controls). Users can dynamically switch between viewing view information and document contents, optimizing the convenience factor based on current needs while preserving multimedia display capability.
3Ease of operation
If the same browse direction is used for both content area and view area, then navigation is simplified, but information integrity and reading efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetry by implementing different browse directions for different areas: vertical browsing for the content area and horizontal browsing for the view area. This asymmetric design enhances reading efficiency by allowing users to navigate document content and view information independently without confusion, while the asymmetry itself becomes the organizing principle that simplifies overall navigation.
Solution Approach 2:
Each area is assigned a specific browse direction optimized for its content type: vertical scrolling suits linear document content, while horizontal scrolling suits panoramic view information. This local optimization of browse direction improves reading efficiency without requiring users to learn complex navigation rules, as each area follows intuitive browsing patterns.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a view displaying method, device and medium, the method including: displaying a content area and a view area in a document interface, wherein the view area is used for displaying one or more pieces of view information; and in response to a browse triggering operation on view information in the view area, displaying the view information in the view area in a first browse direction, wherein the content area corresponds to a second browse direction different from the first browse direction.
