Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing travel applications provide fixed interfaces with the same functions, making it difficult for users to find desired features, especially during trips, leading to low efficiency and poor user experience.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If fixed interface functions are provided in travel applications, then the application structure remains simple and stable, but users cannot easily find desired functions leading to low efficiency and poor user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transforming the static, fixed interface into a dynamic one that automatically adapts to user needs. The system determines the user's current trip phase (planning, during trip, or after trip) and dynamically presents different interface configurations with relevant functions for each phase, making the interface flexible and context-aware rather than fixed and rigid.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes interface parameters based on trip phase. Different interface configurations are prepared with different function sets, and the system switches between these configurations by changing the parameter representing the current trip phase. This allows the same application to present different interface states (planning interface, trip interface, review interface) without requiring multiple separate applications.
2Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive travel functions are provided, then the application becomes more versatile, but users need to spend more time searching for specific functions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different function sets tailored to specific trip phases. Instead of showing all functions at once, the system identifies the user's current phase (planning, during trip, or after trip) and presents only the locally relevant functions for that phase. For example, planning functions are shown during the planning phase, while navigation and location functions are shown during the trip phase.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-preparing multiple interface configurations with different function sets for different trip phases. The determination of current phase and selection of appropriate interface configuration happens automatically before the user needs to search for functions, so the relevant functions are already presented and ready for use.
3Ease of operation
If the interface automatically adapts to user needs, then user experience improves, but the system requires collecting and analyzing user activity information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by collecting user activity information (log information, location information, order information) and using it to determine the current trip phase. The system continuously monitors user behavior, analyzes the data to understand the current trip context, and adjusts the interface configuration accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables automatic adaptation to user needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies self-service by automatically determining the user's current trip phase and selecting the appropriate interface configuration without requiring user input or manual selection. The system serves itself by using its own collected data to make intelligent decisions about interface presentation, reducing the need for complex user-system interaction.
Data Source
AI summary
The application provides a method, apparatus, and electronic device for displaying application interfaces. The method may be implementable on a server. By the method, a current phase associated with a trip of a user may be determined, and interface configuration information corresponding to the current phase is determined for configuring a scenario-based interface of an application. Subsequently, the server sends the determined interface configuration information to the a client of the user, for the client to display the scenario-based interface of the application to the user according to the determined interface configuration information.
