Dynamic Icon Display Adjustment for Multi-Form Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in accurately selecting applications on electronic devices with multiple forms due to identical display modes for different applications, leading to degraded user experience.
Innovation Solution
A processing method and device that detect the current operation form of an electronic device, determine the applicable application, and adjust the display policy for the corresponding icon, including ranking, size adjustment, and flashing or highlighting, to differentiate and highlight the relevant application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display modes of icons for multiple applications are kept the same across different operation forms, then the device maintains simplicity and consistency, but the user cannot accurately select the applicable application for the current operation form
Solution Approach 1:
The display policy is made dynamic by detecting the current operation form and automatically adjusting icon display modes accordingly. Icons for applications applicable to the current operation form are highlighted or positioned differently, while icons for incompatible applications maintain their original display. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by adapting the display complexity only when needed for accurate application selection.
Solution Approach 2:
Different display policies are applied to different icons based on their corresponding application's compatibility with the current operation form. Instead of uniformly changing all icon displays, only the relevant icons receive special treatment (highlighting, positioning), while others remain unchanged. This local differentiation achieves accurate application selection without overwhelming the user with system-wide complexity.
2Productivity
If the icon display policy is adjusted to highlight applicable applications, then the user can rapidly and accurately select the appropriate application, but the display system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the operation form and pre-identifies which applications are applicable before the user needs to select. By preparing the highlighted display states in advance based on the detected operation form, the system enables rapid user selection without requiring complex real-time processing during the selection moment itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing device automatically detects the operation form and autonomously determines which icons should be highlighted or repositioned, without requiring user input or manual configuration. This self-service approach streamlines the process by eliminating intermediate steps, achieving fast application selection while keeping the added complexity contained within the automatic detection and adjustment mechanism.

AI summary
A processing method and a processing device for displaying an icon and an electronic device are provided. The electronic device has a plurality of variable operation forms. Specifically, a current operation form of the electronic device is detected and determined. A first application applicable to the electronic device in the currently determined operation form is selected according to the determined operation form. Then, a display policy for the icon which corresponds to the selected and determined application and is displayed on the display screen of the electronic device is correspondingly adjusted. Therefore, it is ensured that the user can rapidly, conveniently and accurately select the available application in the case of the operation form of the electronic device, thus improving the user experience when the user uses the electronic device.
