Dynamic Navigation Interface for Multi-Directional Tablet Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic device navigation modes are inconvenient for multi-user and multi-directional operations due to fixed positions and directions of navigation icons, particularly on large-size tablet computers, which fail to satisfy user demands for navigating from different directions and positions.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device method that dynamically adjusts the position and direction of navigation icons by displaying a first operating region and selecting a second operating region based on the display position and direction of a selected operation object, allowing for movement and rotation of navigation components, and arranging operating objects along a curve to enhance user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If navigation icons are fixed in position and direction, then the navigation structure is simple and stable, but users cannot navigate conveniently from different directions and positions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the navigation icons movable and rotatable rather than fixed. The first-level menu icons can be dynamically positioned at different locations on the display, and the second-level menu icons can be rotated to different orientations. This dynamic adjustment allows the navigation structure to adapt to different user interaction scenarios from various directions and positions, significantly improving navigation convenience while maintaining reasonable structural complexity through controlled dynamic behavior.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the navigation mode is fixed for a specific application, then the implementation is simple, but the position and direction of menus cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the universality principle by designing a navigation system that can be universally applied across different applications and usage scenarios. The first-level menu icons can be positioned at various locations on the display, and the second-level menu icons can be rotated to different orientations, making the same navigation structure adaptable to different directions and positions. This multi-functional navigation mode can serve various user needs without requiring separate navigation implementations for each scenario, thereby improving adaptability while managing complexity through a unified flexible design.

AI summary
An electronic device and a method for controlling the same are provided. The method includes: displaying a first operating region, with M first operation objects being arranged on the first operating region; selecting, when a first operation is detected, the i-th first operation object from the M first operation objects in response to the first operation; determining second operating region based on a display position and a display direction of the i-th first operation object; displaying a second operating region, with N second operation objects being arranged on the second operating region, and the display direction of the q-th second operation object of the N second operation objects being identical to the display direction of the i-th first operation object.
