Dynamic Application Icon Positioning to Avoid Interface Obstruction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In-vehicle information systems face issues with application icons blocking important information and human machine interface functions due to fixed display positions, affecting normal operations and user interaction.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that automatically identify important information and human machine interface elements to determine suitable display regions, shifting the application icon to prevent obstruction and ensure proper display and functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the application icon is displayed at a fixed position on the central control display interface, then the user can easily locate and activate the voice function, but the application icon may block other control buttons and useful information, affecting normal operations and information display
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic positioning of the application icon by continuously monitoring the display interface for important information and human-machine interface elements. The icon's position is adjusted in real-time based on the detected content, transforming the fixed position into a dynamic one that adapts to different display scenarios, thereby avoiding blocking while maintaining accessibility
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms by detecting the presence of important information and interface elements in the preset display region, then using this feedback to determine whether to shift the application icon to a different position. This closed-loop control ensures the icon does not obstruct critical content while remaining easily locatable
2Stability of the object's composition
If the application icon is displayed in a preset fixed region, then the display layout is simple and consistent, but the important information and human machine interface may be obscured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static display layout into a dynamic one where the application icon's position can change based on the detected important information. The system maintains layout consistency through structured detection and systematic position adjustment, ensuring the icon moves to appropriate positions that preserve both information visibility and overall layout organization
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection of important information and interface elements in the preset display region before finalizing the application icon's position. This advance detection allows the system to proactively avoid blocking critical content, ensuring information is not obscured before the icon is rendered

AI summary
A method of displaying an application icon of an application program includes: in response to an activation of the application program, determining whether any important information or any human machine interface appears in a preset display region on a display interface; in response to the important information or the human machine interface being determined to appear in the preset display region, determining whether any important information or any human machine interface appears in a shifted display region on the display interface, and repeating the process of determining a presence of any important information or any human machine interface in the shifted display region until a target display region where neither important information nor human machine interface appears is determined in the display interface; and displaying the application icon of the application program in the target display region.
