Dynamic Application Icon Display Using Layered Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for displaying application icons on terminals fail to provide a visually appealing and lifelike experience, lacking dynamic visual effects that simulate user interactions effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that receive user operations on application icons and determine dynamic pictures by processing multiple layers, simulating user interactions through parameters like moving speed, direction, and location, creating a three-dimensional and lifelike display by moving, expanding, or deleting layers according to specific trajectories and attributes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If shadow technology is used to provide depth appearance on image surface, then dynamic visual effect is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The application icon is divided into multiple layers (foreground layer, middle layer, background layer) that can be independently processed and animated. Each layer responds to user operations differently, creating complex visual effects through simple layer-based segmentation rather than complex overall processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from 2D static icons to 3D dynamic displays by adding depth through multiple layers. The layers can move in different directions and at different speeds, creating three-dimensional visual effects that enhance illumination intensity while maintaining manageable processing complexity through layer independence.
2Illumination intensity
If image deformation is used to implement dynamic display, then visual effect is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of deforming a single complex image, the patent segments the icon into multiple simpler layers that can be independently transformed. Each layer undergoes simpler geometric transformations (translation, scaling, rotation) rather than complex deformation, reducing manufacturing precision requirements while achieving dynamic visual effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic display by making layers movable and transformable rather than deforming static images. Each layer can be independently animated with different motion parameters, creating dynamic visual effects through simple geometric transformations over time rather than complex image deformation.
3Illumination intensity
If multiple layers are processed to simulate user interactions, then visual effect is improved, but operation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The application icon is pre-divided into multiple layers with predefined transformation rules before user interaction. When a user operation occurs, the system applies pre-configured transformations to each layer rather than computing complex interactions in real-time, reducing operation time while maintaining enhanced visual effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter-based control where each layer has predefined motion parameters (speed, direction, transformation type). User operations trigger parameter changes rather than complex calculations, allowing multiple layers to be processed efficiently with simple parameter adjustments rather than time-consuming computations.
