Dynamic Always-On Display Mode Switching for Power and Experience
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current always on display technologies on electronic devices are limited to a single mode, failing to flexibly meet user requirements and reducing the capability for intelligent interaction between the device and the user.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a method that automatically determines between two distinct always on display modes based on device status information, such as power levels and usage patterns, to optimize power consumption and user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single always on display mode is configured on the electronic device, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but the adaptability to different user requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic switching between different always on display modes (first mode with simple interface and second mode with rich interface) based on device status information. The system automatically determines which mode to activate by evaluating real-time status parameters, enabling the display to adapt dynamically to different usage scenarios without requiring complex manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes display parameters (interface complexity, color depth, content types) based on device status information. By adjusting these parameters according to the determined mode, the system achieves versatile adaptation to user needs while maintaining a relatively simple underlying configuration structure.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the always on display interface includes background wallpaper and application icons, then the user experience and visual effect are improved, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the always on display functionality into two distinct modes: a first mode with a simple interface that consumes less power, and a second mode with a rich interface including background wallpaper and application icons that provides better user experience. This segmentation allows the system to select the appropriate level of visual richness based on power availability and usage context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the display content richness by switching between modes based on device status information. When power consumption needs to be reduced, the system activates the first mode with minimal display elements. When user experience is prioritized and power allows, the second mode with full visual features is activated.
3Extent of automation
If the electronic device automatically determines display mode based on device status information, then the intelligent interaction capability is improved, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the electronic device automatically determines the appropriate always on display mode by evaluating its own device status information. The system monitors its own operational state and autonomously selects the most suitable display mode without requiring external intervention or complex user configuration, thereby improving intelligent interaction capability.

AI summary
An always on display method and an electronic device relate to the field of terminal technologies. The method includes obtaining, by an electronic device having a touchscreen, first device status information, where the first device status information is first information related to a first current running state of the electronic device, determining a first always on display interface based on the first device status information, displaying the first always on display interface on the touchscreen, obtaining second device status information, where the second device status information is second information related to a second current running state of the electronic device, determining a second always on display interface based on the second device status information, and displaying the second always on display interface on the touchscreen.
