Dynamic Page Ordering for Information Item Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display control systems for associating common and individual information items, such as hotel and room information, often require repetitive page turning operations to find desired information, making it cumbersome for users to access related data.
Innovation Solution
A system that dynamically determines the order of pages based on user interaction, positioning specified individual information items between associated common and other individual items, allowing for intuitive navigation by swiping in predetermined directions to display relevant information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the page order of the electronic pamphlet is fixed, then the system structure is simple, but the user needs to repeat page turning operations to find desired information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic page ordering where the sequence of pages changes based on user interactions. When a user specifies an individual information item, the system dynamically repositions the common information item and other individual information items relative to the specified item, creating an adaptive navigation structure that responds to user needs rather than following a fixed sequence.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary organization of information items by establishing a hierarchical structure where common information items are associated with multiple individual information items. This pre-arranged association allows the system to quickly reposition relevant pages when a user specifies an item, reducing the need for extensive page turning by having the information structure ready in advance.
2Ease of operation
If common information and individual information are separated in fixed pages, then the display structure is simple, but the user operation becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested information structure where common information items contain or are associated with multiple individual information items. When a user specifies an individual information item, the system displays the common information item in proximity by utilizing this nested relationship, allowing related information to be accessed through intuitive navigation rather than complicated page turning.
Solution Approach 2:
The common information item acts as an intermediary that connects multiple individual information items. When a user specifies one individual information item, the system uses the common information item as a mediator to position and display other related individual information items in proximity, simplifying navigation by providing a contextual bridge between related pieces of information.

AI summary
A display control system specifies, in a case where one of a plurality of individual information items associated with a common information item is specified, the common information item associated with the specified individual information item, and other individual information items associated with the common information item. The display control system determines an order of the specified individual information item, the common information item, and the other individual information items such that the specified individual information item is positioned between the common information items and the other individual information items. In a case where a page turning operation is performed in a predetermined direction, the display control system displays pages of the other individual information items. In a case where the page turning operation is performed in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the display control system displays the page of the common information item.
