Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information terminals, such as smartphones, face challenges in improving user operability for controlling devices, particularly in reducing the number of operations required to manage and interact with multiple device controls.

Innovation Solution

A display method and system that dynamically changes the basic screen on a terminal based on user operation history, environmental conditions, and device-specific information, allowing for optimized control interfaces by prioritizing frequently used functions and adapting to user behavior and context.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a fixed basic screen is displayed for controlling devices, then the interface structure is simple and stable, but the number of operations required by the user increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenumber of operationsVSAvoidscreen changing mechanism

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The basic screen is changed dynamically based on user operation history and device usage frequency. The system automatically updates the display content to show frequently used device controls in prominent positions, reducing the number of operations needed while adapting the interface structure flexibly rather than maintaining a fixed layout

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically analyzes user operation patterns and reorganizes the basic screen without requiring manual intervention. The interface self-optimizes by detecting which devices are used most frequently and positioning their controls accordingly, eliminating the need for users to manually configure the display layout

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If the basic screen is changed frequently to adapt to user needs, then the ease of operation improves, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvescreen adaptation to user behaviorVSAvoidinformation processing mechanism

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes user operation history and device usage data to determine screen layout optimizations before the user actually needs them. By analyzing operation patterns in advance and preparing optimized basic screens proactively, the system reduces real-time processing requirements while maintaining high adaptability to user behavior

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors user operations and device usage patterns, using this feedback to automatically adjust the basic screen configuration. The feedback loop analyzes operation frequency and difficulty, then refines the display layout accordingly, enabling adaptive behavior without requiring complex manual configuration systems

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback
