Dynamic Thumbnail Size Adjustment on Progress Bar
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for displaying digital content on electronic devices do not effectively provide users with easy access to information about objects, particularly in navigating and managing digital media such as images, videos, and documents.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that detect a thumbnail image of an object on a progress bar, allowing users to change its size based on user input within a size change area, and display additional information when the user inputs in an additional information area, facilitating easy navigation and management of digital content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If digital content is displayed on electronic devices using existing methods, then content can be shown to users, but users cannot easily access or manage information about the objects in the content
Solution Approach 1:
The display interface is segmented into multiple functional areas: a progress bar area for navigation, a size change area for thumbnail size adjustment, and an additional information area for displaying object details. This segmentation allows users to access different types of information in dedicated zones, improving ease of operation while preventing information loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a spatial dimension to information access by creating a size change area where users can drag thumbnails to adjust their display size. This dimensional approach transforms flat information display into an interactive spatial interface, making object information more accessible without cluttering the main content area.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a progress bar with search information is displayed, then navigation through multiple objects is enabled, but the interface becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The progress bar is designed as a multi-functional element that serves both as a navigation tool and as a selector for object information. By making the progress bar universal, the patent enables navigation through multiple objects while avoiding the need for separate control elements, thus managing interface complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the navigation function and the information selection function into a single progress bar interface. This consolidation allows users to navigate and select objects using one unified element, reducing overall interface complexity while maintaining versatile navigation capabilities.
3Ease of operation
If thumbnail size is changed based on user input position, then user interaction is improved, but the system must process and respond to continuous position changes
Solution Approach 1:
The thumbnail size is made dynamic, changing automatically based on the user's input position within the size change area. This dynamic behavior improves user interaction by providing responsive feedback, while the system manages processing complexity through event-driven updates that occur only when user input changes.

AI summary
Provided is a method of displaying an object on a device, the method including detecting a thumbnail image of an object corresponding to a selected position on a progress bar providing search information regarding a plurality of objects that are displayed according to an order; obtaining a user input moved from the selected position to a size change area; and displaying the thumbnail image of the object, the thumbnail image having a size determined based on a position of the user input in the size change area.
