Folder Manager Queue Display for Mobile Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In electronic devices like mobile phones and tablets, a large number of folders lead to a messy display interface, reducing user efficiency as users need to repeatedly click and unfold folders to find application icons, making it cumbersome to locate desired applications.
Innovation Solution
A display control method that involves obtaining an input operation for a folder icon, generating a call instruction to start a folder manager, and displaying all folders in an unfolded state in a queue manner on the screen, allowing users to easily select desired applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If folders are displayed in a traditional collapsed state to maintain a clean interface, then the display interface remains neat, but users need to repeatedly click and unfold folders to find applications, reducing use efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by automatically unfolding all folders when the folder manager is launched, so that all application icons are immediately visible without requiring users to perform repeated clicking actions. This preparatory unfolding action eliminates the need for users to manually expand each folder to find applications, thereby improving use efficiency while maintaining interface organization through the queue display mechanism.
2Ease of operation
If all folders are unfolded to improve accessibility, then users can easily find applications, but the display interface becomes messy and less organized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by transitioning from a two-dimensional grid layout to a three-dimensional queue arrangement. Folders are displayed in a queue extending along the Z-axis, with each folder positioned at different depths. This spatial reorganization allows all folders to be unfolded and accessible while maintaining visual organization, as the queue structure provides a clear hierarchical and spatial arrangement that prevents the interface from appearing messy.
3Ease of operation
If folders are displayed in a queue manner in unfolded state, then user experience is improved with convenient selection, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by implementing an interactive queue system where folders can be dynamically reordered based on user interactions. When users select or drag folders, the queue arrangement adjusts automatically, allowing folders to move along the Z-axis to new positions. This dynamic reordering capability enhances user experience by allowing convenient selection and organization, while the system manages the complexity through automated queue management rather than requiring complex manual controls.

AI summary
A display control method, a device thereof, and an electronic apparatus are disclosed. The display control method includes obtaining an input operation for a first folder icon in an interactive interface currently displayed on a display screen of an electronic apparatus; generating a call instruction in response to the input operation, the call instruction being used for starting a folder manager; starting the folder manager in response to the call instruction; obtaining all folders on the electronic apparatus under the folder manager; putting all the folders in an unfolded state; and displaying the folders in the unfolded state by the display screen in a queue manner.
