Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video conference GUIs have fixed positions for interface elements, which reduces user focus on the content being operated and decreases operation efficiency.

Innovation Solution

An interface control system that adjusts the position of controls based on user input, allowing the selected control to be centered on the interactive interface, improving user focus and efficiency through scroll, slide, or sudden adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If interface elements are fixed in position, then the GUI structure is simple and stable, but user focus on operated content is reduced and operation efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation efficiencyVSAvoidGUI structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic positioning of interface elements by allowing controls to move from fixed positions to a center position based on user interaction. The GUI apparatus receives control adjustment instructions and dynamically repositions controls to optimize user focus on the operated content, transforming the static interface into an adaptive one that responds to user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If controls are repositioned to center position, then user focus on operated content is improved, but the system requires additional adjustment mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser focus on controlVSAvoidcontrol adjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically repositioning controls to the center position based on received adjustment instructions without requiring manual user intervention for positioning. The GUI apparatus autonomously processes control adjustment instructions and executes repositioning actions, reducing the cognitive and physical burden on users while improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
