Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in conveniently accessing and rearranging icons on large-screen devices like smartphones and tablets due to the need for manual adjustment of each icon, which is time-consuming and inconvenient, especially when using a single hand.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that utilize sensors to generate sensing signals based on user interactions, allowing a processor to update and rearrange icon coordinates dynamically, optimizing their placement for easier access based on user behavior and interaction patterns.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the display device size is increased to provide comfortable screen viewing, then the viewing area is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because users have difficulty accessing icons located away from their finger position
Solution Approach 1:
The icon arrangement is made dynamic by automatically rearranging icons based on real-time sensing signals from user interactions. The system transitions from a static fixed layout to a dynamic adaptive layout that responds to user behavior patterns, making frequently used icons more accessible over time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-optimization by automatically learning user interaction patterns and repositioning icons without requiring manual user input. The sensing signal processing system autonomously analyzes touch sequences and adjusts icon coordinates to optimize accessibility based on inferred user preferences.
2Ease of operation
If manual icon rearrangement is performed to optimize accessibility, then the ease of operation is improved, but the time required for adjustment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs icon rearrangement by processing sensing signals that capture user interaction patterns. The processor analyzes touch sequences and automatically repositions icons without requiring the user to manually drag or adjust each icon, thereby eliminating the time-consuming manual rearrangement process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where sensing signals from user interactions are continuously monitored, analyzed, and used to automatically adjust icon positions. This closed-loop system learns from user behavior patterns and progressively optimizes icon accessibility over time without additional user effort.
