Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic devices face limitations in content sharing due to display screen size constraints, where moving files or objects can cause the display interface of one application to obscure others, leading to poor user experience and incorrect touch operations.

Innovation Solution

A content sharing method and apparatus that adjusts the display mode of a first application interface in response to a moving operation on a target icon, allowing for seamless sharing of content to a second object when the end point of the moving operation corresponds to that object, thereby avoiding interface shielding and enabling quick and accurate content transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the display interface of an application is displayed in full screen mode, then the content display is complete and clear, but other interfaces are shielded and cannot be accessed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent display completenessVSAvoidinterface accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display interface dynamically changes between full-screen mode and small window mode based on user interaction. When a user drags an icon, the interface automatically switches from full-screen to small window mode, allowing both the source application and target application to be visible simultaneously, thus resolving the contradiction between complete content display and interface accessibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The interface transitions from occupying the entire screen (2D full coverage) to a small floating window (2D localized position), changing its spatial dimensionality. This allows the interface to coexist with other applications on the same screen, enabling users to access multiple interfaces without shielding

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Device complexity

If the display screen size is fixed, then the device structure is simple, but content sharing between applications is limited and prone to errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay structure simplicityVSAvoidcontent sharing accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the display mode of the source application interface during content sharing operations. By automatically switching to small window mode when icon dragging is detected, the system ensures that both the source and target applications remain visible on the fixed screen, significantly improving content sharing accuracy without requiring a larger or more complex display

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system monitors user operations (icon dragging) and provides feedback by automatically adjusting the display mode. This feedback mechanism ensures that the interface configuration adapts to user needs in real-time, preventing incorrect touch operations and improving content sharing reliability while maintaining the simplicity of the fixed display structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a content sharing method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The method is applied in an electronic device including a display screen. The method includes: adjusting a display mode of a first application interface in response to a moving operation on a target icon in the first application interface; and sharing a target content corresponding to the target icon to a first object when an end point of the moving operation corresponds to the first object, in response to ending of the moving operation.
