Dynamic Image Orientation Switching for Seamless Browsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image display methods on electronic devices are not flexible enough, requiring users to manually switch between portrait and landscape modes to achieve optimal viewing effects, leading to an inconvenient browsing experience.
Innovation Solution
A display method and electronic device that allows users to receive inputs to dynamically switch between different types of images (e.g., horizontal or vertical screen images) and display adjacent images of the same type, enabling continuous browsing of preferred image orientations without manual mode switching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device displays images in sequence with automatic rotation, then the device can adapt to different image orientations, but the user needs to manually switch between portrait and landscape modes to achieve optimal viewing effects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image browsing function into two independent modes: portrait mode browsing and landscape mode browsing. Users can switch between these segmented modes based on their viewing preferences, allowing continuous browsing within the selected mode without automatic rotation interruptions. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by providing both adaptability (support for both orientations) and ease of operation (continuous browsing within selected mode).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic mode switching that allows users to flexibly transition between portrait and landscape browsing modes based on real-time viewing needs. The system dynamically adjusts the display mode without requiring manual device rotation, enabling users to optimize viewing experience for different image types while maintaining operational convenience through software-based mode selection.
2Shape
If the electronic device rotates the image to fit the screen width, then the image displays properly on the screen, but the display size of the image is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the display system universal by supporting both portrait and landscape modes as equal browsing options. Instead of forcing all images into a single orientation (which causes size reduction), the system can handle both orientations natively, allowing landscape images to be displayed at full size in landscape mode and portrait images at full size in portrait mode, eliminating the need for size-reducing rotation.
3Manufacturing precision
If the user switches the electronic device between landscape and portrait states, then the user can view images with optimal display effects, but the browsing process becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical device rotation with a software-based mode switching mechanism. Instead of requiring users to physically rotate the device between portrait and landscape states, the system uses software to switch between portrait browsing mode and landscape browsing mode, maintaining display quality while eliminating the time loss associated with manual device handling.

AI summary
A display method and an electronic device are provided and relate to the field of communications technologies. The method includes: receiving, by an electronic device, a first input from a user in a case that a first image in a first type of image is displayed; in response to the first input, displaying, by the electronic device, a second image in a second type of image, where a type of the first type of image is different from that of the second type of image; receiving, by the electronic device, a second input from the user; and in response to the second input, displaying a third image by the electronic device, where the third image is an image, adjacent to the second image, in the second type of image.
