Solution Overview

Problem

In intelligent interaction devices, users face uncontrollable file display and confidentiality issues due to automatically pushed files from other users, reducing user experience and making it difficult to manage incoming media files.

Innovation Solution

A device and method that utilize a touch-sensitive display with a processor to display an on-top floating window with a second-level menu, including a cancel icon, allowing users to stop downloading or pushing media files, and adjust the window's size and position based on user interaction and position information to minimize distraction and enhance control over file display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If files are automatically pushed from other users, then file sharing efficiency is improved, but user control and confidentiality are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefile sharing efficiencyVSAvoiduser control
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables users to autonomously manage file reception by displaying incoming file notifications and allowing direct user actions (accept or cancel) on the floating window, making the file management process self-service oriented rather than fully automatic

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The floating notification window provides real-time feedback to users about incoming file transfers, showing file type, progress, and user identity, enabling informed decision-making before files are pushed to the device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Speed

If files are automatically pushed from other users, then file sharing speed is improved, but confidentiality and security are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefile sharing speedVSAvoidconfidentiality risk
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system takes preliminary anti-action by providing a cancel option in the floating notification window before the file transfer completes, allowing users to prevent unwanted files from being pushed to their devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The floating notification window acts as an intermediary between the file transfer process and the user's file system, providing a control layer that mediates whether files should be accepted or rejected based on user discretion

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If a floating window is displayed on the screen, then user control over file management is improved, but display area for content is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser controlVSAvoiddisplay area
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The notification window uses the vertical dimension of the display by appearing as a floating element that can be positioned and dismissed, utilizing space efficiently without significantly reducing the horizontal display area for main content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a device and method of intelligent interaction, and a storage medium. The device includes a touch-sensitive display, and a processor coupled to the touch-sensitive display and configured to: display an on-top floating window on the touch-sensitive display, wherein the on-top floating window is a first-level menu; display a second-level menu of the on-top floating window upon receiving a media file transfer message from a network side, wherein the second-level menu includes a cancel icon that is configured to stop downloading a media file or stop pushing a downloaded media file; and stop downloading the media file or stop pushing the downloaded media file in response to a user triggering the cancel icon through the touch-sensitive display.
