Dynamic Application Interface Display via Configuration File Parsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for displaying external applications on mobile phones, such as BREW applications, cannot dynamically integrate their display strings into the user interface of local applications, limiting user operation and integration.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that parse a configuration file to obtain display string identifiers, read and dynamically display these strings on the application interface, allowing integration with local applications and enhancing user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If static code writing is used to integrate external application display strings into local application menus, then the display strings can be integrated into the menu, but the display cannot be dynamically updated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates the display string storage (in configuration files) from the display logic (in local applications), allowing external applications to provide their display strings independently without modifying local application codes. This segmentation enables dynamic display while maintaining code independence.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a configuration file as an intermediary between external applications and local applications. The configuration file stores display string identifiers, and the local application reads these identifiers to dynamically display external application strings, eliminating the need for static code integration.
2Ease of operation
If static code writing is used to display external application strings, then the integration is achieved, but the user operation convenience is reduced due to inability to dynamically display
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display by allowing local applications to read display string identifiers from configuration files of external applications and render these strings on the local application's interface in real-time. This dynamic approach improves user operation convenience by enabling flexible integration without static code modifications.
3Adaptability or versatility
If configuration file parsing is used to obtain display string identifiers, then dynamic display is enabled, but the implementation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses configuration files that copy store display string identifiers in a standardized format. The local application simply needs to read these identifiers and map them to the corresponding display strings, avoiding the need for complex parsing logic while maintaining adaptability.
