Dynamic Secondary Input Box for Overflow Information Handling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices face difficulties in displaying and modifying inputted information when the length or type of the information does not match the input box, leading to inconvenience in viewing and editing.
Innovation Solution
The method involves displaying a secondary input box when the first information does not match the first input box, allowing partial or all of the inputted information to be displayed, with the secondary box having a variable length or matching input type, enabling easier viewing and modification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the first input box is used to display input information, then the input function is simple, but the information cannot be displayed normally when it exceeds the input box capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the information display function into two segments: the first input box for initial input and the second input box for displaying overflow information. This segmentation allows the system to maintain both input simplicity and information completeness by handling different aspects of information management in separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a spatial dimension solution by displaying the second input box adjacent to or below the first input box. This dimensional arrangement allows overflow information to be displayed in an additional space without interfering with the original input function, thereby preserving both input convenience and information completeness.
2Shape
If the first input box displays all input information, then the display is unified, but it is inconvenient to view and modify when information exceeds capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display function into two distinct input boxes: the first for unified display and the second for detailed viewing and modification. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by allowing the first box to maintain display unity while the second box provides enhanced operability for viewing and editing overflow information.
Solution Approach 2:
The second input box acts as an intermediary between the overflow information and the user. It mediates the viewing and modification operations by providing a dedicated space that handles the complex tasks of displaying and editing long information, while the first input box maintains its simple unified display function.
3Device complexity
If the input box has fixed capacity, then the structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate variable length information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information capacity into two parts: the fixed capacity of the first input box and the variable capacity of the second input box. This segmentation allows the system to maintain structural simplicity in the first box while achieving adaptability through the second box that dynamically handles variable length information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamics by making the second input box's capacity adaptable to the length of overflow information. While the first input box remains static with fixed capacity, the second input box dynamically adjusts to accommodate variable length information, thereby providing the needed adaptability without compromising the structural simplicity of the overall system.

AI summary
An information processing method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes receiving first information inputted by a user in a first input box, and displaying a second input box in a case that the first information does not match the first input box, where the second input box includes a part or all of the first information.
