Dynamic Icon Generation via Resource Pack Parsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Static icons in mobile terminals lack dynamic effects and fail to provide additional relevant information, limiting user interaction and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for generating dynamic icons based on dynamic icon resource packs, which include icon resource information and dynamic description information, allowing real-time generation and display of dynamic effects and data such as system status, sensor data, and program status, without pre-storing animation or video files.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of substance
If static pictures are used as icons, then storage space is conserved and system resources are reduced, but dynamic effects and relevant information display are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic icon generation by combining static icon base images with dynamic overlay elements that change based on system state, sensor data, and program status. This allows icons to transition from static to dynamic without storing multiple static images, resolving the contradiction between storage efficiency and information richness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-prepares icon base images and dynamic overlay resources in a compact format, then combines them in real-time based on current system state. This preliminary preparation allows rapid icon updates without storing complete animated versions, conserving storage while enabling dynamic effects.
2Loss of information
If dynamic icon resource packs are generated and displayed in real-time, then dynamic effects and relevant information are provided, but system resources and processing power are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies dynamic effects selectively rather than uniformly to all icons. Only icons with available dynamic resource packs and relevant system state changes are updated, reducing unnecessary processing while maintaining dynamic information display where beneficial.
Solution Approach 2:
Icons are updated periodically based on system state changes rather than continuously. The system monitors for relevant events (sensor updates, program status changes) and triggers icon regeneration only when necessary, reducing processing overhead while maintaining information freshness.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the same picture is used as icon for a long time, then identification consistency is maintained, but user engagement and information richness are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The icon system is segmented into a stable base image component and a variable overlay component. The base image maintains consistent identification, while the overlay provides dynamic information and engagement, resolving the contradiction between consistency and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
Different parts of the icon serve different functions: the base image provides stable identification while localized overlay regions provide dynamic information. This local differentiation allows simultaneous maintenance of consistency and engagement without requiring complete icon redesign.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a dynamic icon display method and device. The method comprises: receiving an icon display instruction; according to the icon display instruction, acquiring a dynamic icon resource packet of an icon to be displayed; parsing the dynamic icon resource packet to obtain icon resource information and dynamic description information; according to the icon resource information and the dynamic description information, generating a dynamic icon; and displaying the dynamic icon. By means of the dynamic icon display method and device provided in the present invention, dynamic icons corresponding to programs can be generated according to dynamic icon resource packets provided by each program, so that the icons can have dynamic effects.
