Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display modes of applications on electronic devices are relatively fixed, lacking dynamic and interactive tab switching mechanisms.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method and apparatus that allow for dynamic association between tab switching operations and adaptive tab presentation, enhancing interactivity by presenting a second tab page in a second control in response to a switching operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed display modes are used for applications, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability and interactivity deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay mode adaptabilityVSAvoidtab switching mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic tab switching mechanisms where tabs can be added, removed, or repositioned based on user interactions and system states. The display mode transitions from static to dynamic, allowing flexible adaptation without requiring complete system redesign, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The tab control mechanism is designed to handle multiple functions including tab creation, switching, deletion, and repositioning through a unified interface. This multi-functional approach enhances adaptability while avoiding the need for separate mechanisms for each function, thereby controlling overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If dynamic tab switching is implemented, then interactivity and presenting modes are enriched, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetab switching interactivityVSAvoidtab control structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The tab switching mechanism automatically manages tab states, positions, and visibility without requiring manual intervention for each operation. The system self-adjusts based on user actions, reducing the operational burden on users while managing the complexity internally through automated state management and rendering updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-positions tabs and prepares transition states before user interactions occur. By anticipating and pre-preparing tab switching operations, the system reduces the perceived complexity during actual use, making the interface more responsive and easier to operate while managing underlying complexity through advance preparation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
