Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the hovering state of flexible foldable screens, users face difficulties in efficiently obtaining information and low man-machine interaction efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A hovering display method that displays a first interface on a first sub-screen with multiple options, including a selected camera option and photographing mode controls, and upon selection, displays a second interface on a second sub-screen with a real-time preview image in the corresponding photographing mode, allowing for quick function and sub-function switching through a two-level option selection process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the electronic device displays multiple function options and sub-function options in the hovering state, then the man-machine interaction efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is segmented into two levels: first options displayed on the first sub-screen representing main functions, and second options displayed on the second sub-screen representing sub-functions. This hierarchical segmentation allows users to navigate from general functions to specific sub-functions systematically, improving interaction efficiency while maintaining interface organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes the spatial dimension created by the foldable screen's hovering state to display multiple levels of options simultaneously. By leveraging the physical folding structure, the interface transitions from a single-plane display to a multi-plane display, enabling users to access both function options and sub-function options in different spatial dimensions at the same time.
2Ease of operation
If the electronic device provides two-level option selection (functions and sub-functions), then the ease of operation is improved, but the loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
When a user selects a first option on the first sub-screen, the system provides feedback by automatically displaying the corresponding second options on the second sub-screen. This feedback mechanism ensures that users can see the available sub-functions immediately after selecting a main function, maintaining context information and enabling seamless navigation through the two-level option structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-organizing and displaying the hierarchical structure of functions and sub-functions before user interaction. The first options are displayed in advance on the first sub-screen, and upon selection, the corresponding second options are immediately prepared and displayed on the second sub-screen, reducing the time and cognitive load required for function switching.

AI summary
A hovering display method and an electronic device are provided, relating to the field of terminal technologies. The method is applied to an electronic device including a flexible foldable screen, where the flexible foldable screen includes a first sub-screen and a second sub-screen, and the method includes: displaying, by the electronic device, a first interface on the first sub-screen when the electronic device is in a hovering state, where the first interface includes a plurality of first options, the plurality of first options include an option of a camera that is in a selected state, the first interface further includes a plurality of photographing mode controls of the camera, and each photographing mode control corresponds to one photographing mode provided by the camera; and in response to a selection operation on a first photographing mode control in the plurality of photographing mode controls, displaying, by the electronic device, a second interface on the second sub-screen, where the second interface includes a real-time preview image in a photographing mode corresponding to the first photographing mode control. In this way, man-machine interaction efficiency can be improved when the electronic device is in the hovering state.
