Dynamic Icon Information Display for Terminal Screen Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for displaying descriptive information related to application icons on terminal screens are either cumbersome, affecting the overall display effect, or inconvenient for user identification, as they require manual setting to either show or hide all descriptive information uniformly.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that hide descriptive information by default, automatically displaying it only when a user requests through specific operations such as screen flipping, icon triggering, or shake actions, and resuming hiding after a preset time period to maintain a neat screen interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If descriptive information is uniformly displayed for all application icons, then user identification of application programs is convenient, but the screen interface becomes disordered and background images are covered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the display state of descriptive information different for different application icons. Specifically, frequently used application icons have their descriptive information displayed by default, while non-frequently used application icons have their descriptive information hidden by default. This allows the screen interface to maintain orderliness while still providing convenient identification for commonly used applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by allowing the display state of descriptive information to change based on user interaction. When users long-press or swipe on application icons, the system dynamically switches between display modes (displaying all, hiding all, or displaying only frequently used), enabling the interface to adapt to different user needs in real-time.
2Shape
If descriptive information is uniformly hidden for all application icons, then the screen interface remains neat and background images are visible, but user identification of application programs becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the display state of descriptive information different for different application icons. Specifically, frequently used application icons have their descriptive information displayed by default, while non-frequently used application icons have their descriptive information hidden by default. This allows the screen interface to maintain orderliness while still providing convenient identification for commonly used applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by providing multiple ways for users to trigger the display of descriptive information, such as long-pressing application icons or swiping gestures. The system responds to these user actions by displaying the descriptive information, creating a feedback loop that allows users to access information when needed while maintaining a clean interface otherwise.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual setting operations are used to uniformly display or hide descriptive information, then the display state can be controlled, but the operation becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by automatically determining which application icons should display descriptive information based on their usage frequency. The system automatically categorizes application icons into frequently used and non-frequently used groups and applies different display strategies without requiring manual user configuration, thereby simplifying operations while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by allowing users to switch between different display modes through simple gestures such as long-pressing or swiping on the screen. This dynamic switching capability provides flexible control over the display state without requiring complex manual settings, making the system both adaptable and easy to operate.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method, a device and an electronic device for displaying descriptive information related to corresponding icons, including: hiding (102) descriptive information of an application icon on a screen interface of a terminal; determining (104) whether a request for viewing the descriptive information from a user exists according to a detected operation action from the user; and displaying (106) corresponding descriptive information in an associated region of the application icon if the request exists. Through the technical solution of the present disclosure, on one hand, neatness of a displayed screen interface of a terminal may be ensured, and on the other hand, a request from a user for reviewing descriptive information of an application icon may be conveniently satisfied, when needed.
