Floating UI for Simplified Content Scraping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in easily accessing and utilizing the memo and scrap functions on existing electronic devices due to the complexity of the processes involved.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device method and system that generates content based on user input and displays a floating user interface (UI) to provide easy access to memo and scrap functions, allowing users to select, store, edit, share, or delete content with simplified interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional memo and scrap functions are implemented, then users can store and manage content, but the process requires many steps and is difficult to use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the memo and scrap functions into a simplified multi-step process: (1) selecting content through long-press gesture, (2) automatic generation of content summary, (3) display of floating UI with key options, and (4) one-tap completion of memo/scrap actions. This segmentation breaks down the complex function into manageable, intuitive steps that reduce operational difficulty.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating content summaries and preparing memo/scrap options before the user completes the selection. When users long-press content, the system proactively creates the content representation and pre-configures the floating UI with relevant actions, eliminating the need for users to manually configure settings or navigate complex menus.
2Ease of operation
If a floating UI is displayed to simplify access, then user interaction is enhanced, but the interface may occupy screen space
Solution Approach 1:
The floating UI applies local quality by positioning context-specific controls exactly where users need them - adjacent to the selected content on the screen. The interface elements are localized to the relevant area rather than requiring navigation to a separate menu screen, providing ease of access without unnecessarily occupying global screen space.
Solution Approach 2:
The floating UI employs dynamics by being positioned dynamically based on the selected content location and allowing users to drag and reposition it. The interface adapts its position and visibility according to the context, maintaining accessibility while minimizing interference with the main content display area.

AI summary
A method for processing contents at an electronic device is provided. The method includes generating a first content corresponding to a user input applied to content via the electronic device, and displaying a floating user interface (UI), which displays first scrap information on the first content, on a screen of the electronic device.
