Foldable Screen Card Layout Across Inner and Outer Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Foldable electronic devices with differing screen dimensions impair user experience due to inconsistent display of elements on outer and inner screens.
Innovation Solution
An information display method that adjusts the display of cards or multimedia files based on screen size and user interactions, ensuring continuity and priority-based arrangement across screen transitions.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the electronic device uses different screen dimensions for outer and inner screens, then the device can provide both compact portability and large display area, but the elements displayed on the home screen become inconsistent between screens, impairing user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display adaptation where the system automatically adjusts the arrangement, size, and content of home screen elements based on the current screen being used (outer or inner screen). This dynamic adjustment ensures that elements are optimized for each screen's dimensions while maintaining consistent functionality and user experience across both screens.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes display parameters such as element size, spacing, and layout configuration according to the active screen. When switching between outer and inner screens, the display parameters are adjusted to match each screen's characteristics, ensuring optimal visibility and interaction while maintaining element consistency in terms of content and behavior.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple cards are displayed on the inner screen in a stacked manner, then more information can be shown, but when transitioning to the outer screen, the display layout becomes inconsistent
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the card display system into screen-specific configurations. Each screen (outer and inner) has its own optimized card arrangement strategy. The inner screen uses stacked card layout to maximize information density, while the outer screen uses a different layout optimized for its larger area. The segmentation allows each screen to independently optimize its display without compromising overall system consistency.
Solution Approach 2:
The card display system is designed to be universal across different screens by implementing adaptive rendering. The same card data and content are rendered differently based on the target screen, allowing the system to maintain functional consistency while adapting visual presentation. This multi-functionality enables the card system to serve both compact information display on inner screens and expanded view on outer screens.

AI summary
An electronic device and an information display method. The electronic device includes a first screen and a second screen. The first screen is larger than the second screen. The first screen is a foldable screen. The method includes: detecting a first operation when a plurality of cards are displayed on the second screen in a stacked manner; and displaying, on the first screen in response to the first operation, the plurality of cards displayed on the second screen. A first part of cards and a second part of cards among the plurality of cards are displayed in different positions on the first screen.
