Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional image display methods are used, then the display process is simple, but the user experience is poor and interaction is single-form

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction convenienceVSAvoiddisplay process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides images into multiple fragments (first image fragments, second image fragments) and displays them in separate regions (first display region, second display region). This segmentation allows users to interact with different parts of the image independently, enhancing interaction convenience while managing complexity through structured organization of image parts and their corresponding display regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If images are displayed in M×N regions with one-to-one correspondence, then image interaction is enhanced, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage interaction flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal mapping relationship where M images are divided into N fragments each, and all M×N fragments are displayed in corresponding regions with one-to-one correspondence. This multi-functional structure allows the same processing logic to be applied universally across all image fragments, enhancing interaction flexibility while controlling complexity through standardized processing patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent generates prompt information when N image fragments form a complete image, providing feedback to users about the interaction state. This feedback mechanism enhances user understanding and interaction flexibility while the automated generation of prompt information helps manage processing complexity through systematic state monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If dynamic image manipulation is implemented, then user experience is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic image manipulation by allowing users to interact with image fragments in real-time, with the system responding by displaying complete images when fragments are properly assembled. This dynamic behavior improves user experience through responsive interaction while managing system complexity through event-driven processing that activates only when trigger conditions are met.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the state parameters of image display by transitioning from displaying individual fragments to displaying complete assembled images based on user interaction. This parameter change approach improves user experience by providing dynamic visual feedback while controlling system complexity through discrete state transitions rather than continuous complex processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An interaction method, an interaction apparatus, an electronic device, and a non-volatile computer readable storage medium, the interaction method including: displaying M images, M being a positive integer (S101); in response to detecting that a first trigger condition is satisfied, displaying a first image in M*N regions, the M*N regions corresponding on a one-to-one basis with M*N images, the M*N images comprising images formed by dividing each image amongst the M images into N parts, and N being a positive integer greater than 1 (S102); in response to detecting a trigger operation in N regions amongst the M*N regions, displaying in the N regions N images corresponding on a one-to-one basis with the N regions (S103); and, when a second image amongst the M images comprises N images, generating first prompt information (S104).
