Dynamic Icon Display With Preset View Modes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for displaying icons on electronic devices lack flexibility and user customization, particularly in terms of icon size and layout, which can lead to suboptimal user interaction and experience.
Innovation Solution
The method involves displaying icons in multiple preset view modes with different icon sizes, allowing users to switch between these modes via zoom operations. Additionally, the method enables icon management instructions to change icon positions, with adjacent icons shifting to maintain layout continuity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If icons are displayed with fixed preset sizes only, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the adaptability and user customization capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic icon display by allowing seamless switching between multiple preset view modes (first view mode with first icon size, second view mode with second icon size). The system dynamically adjusts icon sizes based on user-selected view modes, providing adaptability without requiring complex custom sizing mechanisms for each icon individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the display parameter (icon size) by switching between predetermined view modes. Each view mode corresponds to a specific icon size parameter, allowing users to adapt the display to their needs by selecting different predefined parameter sets rather than manually adjusting each parameter.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple preset view modes with different icon sizes are provided, then adaptability and user customization are improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to complex mode switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the graphical user interface universal by designing it to support multiple view modes within a single unified interface framework. The same UI structure handles both first view mode and second view mode, allowing the system to serve multiple display preferences without requiring separate interfaces or complex switching mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If icon positions are changed to accommodate user preferences, then adaptability is improved, but the layout stability and visual continuity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary arrangement of icons in a stable grid layout before the user interacts with them. When users add or remove icons, the system pre-establishes the positioning framework and grid structure, allowing icons to be placed or removed while automatically maintaining layout continuity through predetermined positioning rules.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a method for icon display, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: displaying a graphical user interface in a first view mode of a plurality of preset view modes, where the graphical user interface includes a plurality of icons, and different preset view modes correspond to different preset icon display sizes; in response to detecting, by the electronic device, a zoom operation of a user, zooming and displaying at least a part of the plurality of icons according to the zoom operation while the zoom operation continues; in response to detecting completion of the zoom operation, determining, by the electronic device, a target view mode from the plurality of preset view modes; and displaying at least a part of the plurality of icons with a preset icon display size corresponding to the target view mode.
