Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic systems for mobile devices lack an efficient mechanism to dynamically adjust the presentation of interface panels based on user interaction, leading to suboptimal content display and user experience.

Innovation Solution

An electronic system that determines the position and dimension of interface panels to expand or contract, allowing for the display of subpanels, and adjusts opacity to enhance readability and user interaction, utilizing a control unit to manage these changes based on user input and device orientation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If multiple interface panels are displayed to provide comprehensive information, then information completeness is improved, but display space becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddisplay space
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into multiple panels that can be independently positioned and sized. The control unit divides the display area into multiple regions, each showing different information, allowing comprehensive information presentation while efficiently utilizing the limited display space through strategic panel placement and dimension adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of information

If interface panels are expanded to show more content, then content visibility is improved, but available display area for other elements decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent visibilityVSAvoidavailable display area
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The interface panels are made dynamic with adjustable dimensions and positions. The control unit responds to user input by expanding or contracting panel sizes and repositioning them, allowing the display to adapt between showing more content in selected areas versus maintaining more flexible space for other display elements based on current user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If static interface layout is used to simplify system complexity, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to user interaction decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidadaptability to user interaction
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides self-service adaptability where the control unit automatically adjusts panel positions and dimensions based on detected user input and device orientation changes. This dynamic self-adjustment mechanism enables high adaptability to user interaction while maintaining relatively simple system architecture, as the adjustment logic is integrated into the existing control unit without requiring complex external systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
