Dynamic Page Display Control for Electronic Book Browsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic book technologies face challenges in user convenience when browsing continuous pages, as the fixed page feed speed can lead to user fatigue or boredom, and difficulties in adjusting the speed to an optimal browsing pace.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a page feed unit that continuously feeds pages and a display control unit that adjusts the number of pages displayed on the screen according to user operations, allowing users to specify the number of pages to be shown, thereby enhancing browsing convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the number of pages to be displayed is fixed, then the device complexity is reduced, but the user convenience deteriorates because users cannot adjust the page feed speed to their preference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the number of pages to be displayed changeable rather than fixed. The display control unit dynamically adjusts the number of pages based on user operations, allowing the system to adapt to different user preferences and browsing speeds, thereby improving user convenience without requiring complex hardware changes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the number of pages displayed as a variable parameter. The display control unit changes this parameter according to user input, enabling flexible adjustment of page feed speed and display characteristics to match user needs, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and device complexity
2Ease of operation
If the number of pages to be displayed is made changeable, then the user convenience is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional control mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by making the display control unit perform multiple functions: it controls not only the display of pages but also responds to user operations to adjust the number of pages displayed. This multi-functional approach allows the system to provide flexible page feed control without adding separate dedicated components, thereby improving user convenience while minimizing the increase in device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by having the display control unit respond to user operations to adjust the number of pages displayed. The system detects user input and dynamically modifies the display parameters accordingly, creating a responsive interface that improves user convenience while using software-based control rather than hardware additions to manage complexity
3Productivity
If the page feed speed is fixed, then the system simplicity is maintained, but the productivity deteriorates because users experience fatigue or boredom when browsing large content sets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the page feed speed adjustable rather than fixed. The display control unit dynamically changes the number of pages displayed based on user operations, allowing users to optimize browsing speed for different content volumes, thereby improving productivity while using software-based dynamic adjustment to maintain system simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the page feed speed as a variable parameter controlled by the display control unit. This allows the system to adapt to different browsing scenarios and user preferences, improving productivity through flexible speed adjustment without requiring complex hardware modifications
