Dynamic Object Enlargement for Touch Interface Usability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current devices with touch input technologies face challenges in providing an intuitive and efficient user interface for executing applications and displaying notifications, as they lack a seamless method to enlarge objects on the screen in response to user inputs, leading to a suboptimal user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that receive user inputs to objects on a display, allowing for gradual enlargement of objects, execution of corresponding applications, and display of application results, with threshold-based information presentation, including vibration patterns and dynamic image changes, to enhance user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If objects are gradually enlarged on display in response to user input, then user interface intuitiveness and interactivity are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic object enlargement where the size of displayed objects changes in real-time based on user input gestures. The system dynamically adjusts object dimensions during interaction, transitioning from static to dynamic display behavior to enhance user interface intuitiveness while managing system complexity through controlled dynamic adjustments.
2Loss of information
If application results are displayed on enlarged object regions, then information presentation effectiveness is improved, but display area availability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the spatial dimension created by object enlargement to display application results. When objects are enlarged beyond their original size, the additional spatial dimension is leveraged to present information within the enlarged region, effectively using the extra space generated by the enlargement gesture to display content without requiring separate full-screen transitions.
3Productivity
If threshold-based information display is implemented, then user interaction efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements threshold-based control where specific parameters such as object enlargement size or gesture duration must reach predetermined thresholds to trigger corresponding actions. This parameter-change approach enables efficient user interaction with clear, predictable system responses while managing complexity through well-defined threshold conditions rather than continuous complex processing.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and device for executing an object on a display. The method of executing an object includes receiving a user input to an object displayed on a display; gradually enlarging and displaying the object; and executing the application corresponding to the object as the object is enlarged.
