Foldable Display Hover Mode With an Unchanged Application Window
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing foldable screen devices face challenges in providing a seamless user experience in hover mode due to the need for modifying application windows and creating new windows or adjusting layer attachment positions, which complicates the implementation process.
Innovation Solution
A display method that maintains the application window size unchanged while separately displaying different content regions on a foldable screen device by adjusting the size and position of specific display elements based on configuration information, without altering the application window or layer attachment positions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If application window size is modified or new windows are created to display different content regions in hover mode, then separate display of content is achieved, but device complexity and implementation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display content into different regions (first display region and second display region) that can be independently controlled and displayed simultaneously on the foldable screen. This allows separate display of content without modifying the application window structure or creating new windows, thereby achieving adaptability while avoiding increased device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If layer attachment positions are adjusted to display different content regions, then separate display is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic control of display parameters (size and position) based on the hover mode state. When hover mode is detected, the system dynamically adjusts the size and position parameters of display content to enable separate region display. This dynamic approach achieves adaptability without requiring permanent modifications to layer attachment positions or application window structures.
3Ease of operation
If application window is modified to display different content sizes and positions in hover mode, then user experience is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to window modification requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes display parameters (size and position) based on the hover mode detection rather than modifying the application window itself. The system detects hover mode and adjusts the size parameter and position parameter of display content accordingly, enabling improved user experience through parameter adjustment while avoiding the complexity of window modification or reconstruction.

AI summary
A display method includes: in response to an electronic device entering a hover mode, displaying a first display content of a target application in a first display region of a screen, and displaying a second display content of the target application in a second display region of the screen; wherein, in the hover mode and a non-hover mode, an application window of the target application has the same size, the first display content has different sizes and positions, and the second display content has different sizes and positions.
