Dual-SIM Display Layout With Movable Screen Boundaries
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with dual SIM capabilities face challenges in providing an intuitive and efficient way to manage and switch between multiple SIM screens, leading to user confusion and inconvenience in selecting the correct SIM for calls and other functions.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device employs a dual mode display system where multiple screens for different SIMs are displayed in partial regions of the screen, allowing users to adjust the size of these regions based on user input, and change device settings accordingly, using configuration information specific to each SIM.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple SIM screens are displayed in partial regions, then user intuitiveness and SIM management efficiency are improved, but display region utilization and screen space are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple partial regions, with each region dedicated to displaying information for a specific SIM card. This segmentation allows users to view and manage multiple SIMs simultaneously without confusion, directly improving SIM management intuitiveness while utilizing the display space through structured division.
Solution Approach 2:
Different partial regions of the display are assigned different functions or information types based on the SIM card they represent. Each region can be customized to show relevant information for its associated SIM, optimizing the use of display space while maintaining clear differentiation and user intuitiveness.
2Adaptability or versatility
If boundary between screens is movable, then user customization and flexibility are improved, but device complexity and control mechanisms are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The boundary between partial regions is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing users to dynamically adjust the size and position of each display region according to their needs. This dynamic capability enhances display layout flexibility while the control mechanism remains integrated into the existing display system, minimizing additional complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows users to independently adjust and customize the boundary positions without requiring complex external control mechanisms. Users can directly interact with the display interface to resize and reposition regions, making the device adaptable to different user preferences while keeping the control system simple and intuitive.

AI summary
An electronic device may comprise memory storing instructions, a display and at least one processor. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, may cause the electronic device to: display, in a display area of the display, a first screen for a first subscriber identity module (SIM), and a visual object for displaying a second screen for a second SIM with the first screen; display the first screen in a first partial area of the display area and display the second screen in a second partial area of the display area; extend and display the second screen in the display area based on an input indicating movement of a boundary between the first screen and the second screen in a first direction; display the first screen in the display area based on an input indicating movement of the boundary in a second direction.
